Let's Do The News! (April 25, 2013)

(cheers and applause)

JC: Well done, shorty!

RH: Yeah!

JM: Now let's do the news!

JC: Okay, let's start with this. Namco Bandai released another DLC Catalog on The iDOLM@STER 2 for the PS3 console, here it is...



JC: It's another one of the PS3-exclusive costumes that will drive those X360 owners some jealousy. Here, Catalog 17 for the PS3 version features two new costumes "Bright Eaglet" and "Exotic China" as well as the song titled 9:02pm, which is familiar for those who had L4U before...

JM: Aren't you the so-called Jeremy Clarkson who, a couple of months ago, demanding to Namco Bandai saying that "PLEASE ADD THE PUNKISH GOTHIC COSTUME ON THE PS3 VERSION!"

(audience laughing)

JC: Rubbish me...

RH: Anyhow...

JC: I just can't believe that Namco Bandai still refusing to add the Punkish Gothic outfit on the PS3 version of the iM@S 2. It's been years now since the PS3 version of the iM@S 2 broke cover but how come they spend several months featuring outfits that were the same as the XBOX 360 version while others featuring costumes developed specifically for the PS3 version. Why is this happening?

RH: I don't know, maybe Punkish Gothic costumes will always stay on the XBOX 360 version and nowhere else...

(audience laughing)

JC: Maybe, but it seems that Namco Bandai keeps on saying "Right, we don't need the Punkish Gothic costumes. Let's make some costumes that were exclusive to the PS3 version!"

(audience laughing)

JC: That's why I don't want that C7 Corvette Stingray...

RH: Okay...

JC: The point is that if you are wearing a Punkish Gothic outfit, the C7 Corvette will say "ACCESS DENIED".

(audience laughing)

JC: Think about it, there will never be a Punkish Gothic DLC on the PS3 version of the iM@S 2 and no matter how many times you beg, it will NEVER happen because they don't think they'll going to feature it. And that's a shame because there's been a lot of otakus in the international community always wanted to cosplay as their favorite 765PRO idols in an outfit that the PS3 version may never get. The More You Know...

(audience laughing)

RH: Yep! The More You Know!

JM: The More You Know!

(cheers and applause)

JC: Now, Toyota, they said that sold over five million hybrids worldwide and this also includes those biblically terrible Toyota Prius eco-car which we don't like because it's too ECO for its own right. So, what does this mean to you?

RH: Uh...does this mean that the world's turning into a boring place for petrolheads?

(audience laughing)

JC: Acceptable but I was thinking about the S word...

JM: What S-word?

JC: Smug!

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, has any one of you watching an episode of South Park about hybrids? Hands up...

(audience raising hands)

RH: I do...

JM: Hammond, you do that because it's an American show...

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, as said in a South Park episode, those morons who owned a hybrid, especially those who owned a Prius, getting themselves stuffed and spew a lot of self-satisfied garbage to the air. That's SMUG! I can imagine those countries that sell hybrids, especially Japan, which is the producer of mass-market hybrids, getting ravaged by such strong monsoons and thus, I believe, is SMUG.

(audience laughing)

JC: ♫Come on, people now, people now. People now, come on, people now. Got to drive hybrids, people now.♫

(audience laughing hysterically, then cheers and applause)

RH: Oh! I see! It seems that based on a South Park episode, hybrids causing people to spew some garbage to the air, creating S-M-U-G! SMUG!

JC: Yep, even in the UK, such floodings from the past years really put the hybrids in the blame game because of SMUG! Perhaps no other people noticed this South Park episode making fun of hybrids.

(audience laughing)

JC: There you go, Top Gear Top Tip: Don't buy a hybrid or you'll be causing natural disasters!

(audience laughing, then cheers and applause)

JC: Ah.....(farts)

(audience laughing)

JC: Whoa, that was one that I really don't want...

JM: By the way...remember the time that, but a year ago, you had a statement regarding the legendary Sauber Mercedes C9 Le Mans racer? You said "If you see a car that was featured only in Gran Turismo franchise but robbed by the Forza franchise for DLC purposes, watch your backs for a series of complaints written in Japanese."

(audience laughing)

JC: Awww....Yes, yes I was. But recently, the cap's been lifted for the Sauber C9 because an upcoming indie racer game from developer I don't really know about, called Project CARS, is about to feature the Sauber C9 as well as some historic Mercedes-Benz racing machines. Also, they'll be going to feature the all new A45 AMG hot hatch as part of the builds for this community-assisted racing game which is still a WIP (work in progress) but it's getting mass attention for racing-sim fans everywhere.

JM: So, your statements about the Sauber C9 is wrong?

JC: Yes, yes I am wrong...

(audience laughing)

JC: Uh, anyway, I just received some news that Microsoft is going to reveal their new generation replacement to the XBOX 360 this May and this is the only info we've received...



(audience laughing)

RH: That's it? That's the info regarding the next generation XBOX?

JM: I don't know but regarding this invitation note, I'm guess that Microsoft's trying to outdo Sony's PS4 with something...

JC: Yeah, stay tuned for more info...

(audience laughing)

JC: Now, as we know, Iron Man 3 draws near and it seems that there's a new trailer from Marvel, showing off the upcoming Thor sequel, titled THOR: THE DARK WORLD and it seems most people are getting interested about that new villain played by Christopher Eccleston from Doctor Who. Here's the pic of what Chris is going to be in Thor 2...

Malekith

(audience laughing)

RH: What? That doesn't seem to look like Christopher Eccleston to us...

JM: Yeah, who's that?

JC: Well, apparently, some say that's the new enemy for Thor, named Malekith. I'm not 100% sure if this is Christopher Eccleston playing the role of a new Thor villain.

RH: Me neither!

(audience laughing)

JC: Right, that brings us the end of the news...

("Gitchee Gitchee Goo" playing)

(audience laughing)

JC: What's that?

RH: Oh, wait! It's my cellphone.

JC: Richard, that was the weirdest ringtone you have in the phone.

RH: No, it's a brilliant one.

JC: Then what the heck that goes "Bow chika bow wow, that's what my baby said"

(audience laughing)

RH: That's my favorite P&F song. Gitchee Gitchee Goo! 

All: ♫GITCHEE GITCHEE GOO MEANS THAT I LOVE YOU!♫

(applause)

JC: Oh boy...

Forza Motorsport 4: HIJACKED

No no no no... Not the GTA kind of hijacking cars, Hijack. You know, it's Ridge Racer stuff. Hijack. It's a pickup truck that first appeared in Rage Racer at the end of 1996 and then resurfaced again on RR6 in late 2005 when the XBOX 360 first went on sale. Anyway, enough of that analogy because that Hijack pickup only comes into your imagination but what if you want a true-to-life pickup that behaves just like the Hijack pickup?

What we have here in FM4 are three potential sport trucks that have blown away their "pickup" images to become one of the most performance-oriented sport trucks on the market in the not-too-distant past. Those sports trucks might lose their ability to go offroad but they sure are quite a handful when they start to misbehave themselves. Putting big power in a big pickup truck might sound ridiculous but with all that added brute force, it can be as punishing as The Punisher himself.

Take a look at those three sports trucks I had lined up...

GMC Syclone

Based on the GMC Sonoma pickup truck, the Syclone is GMC's high-performance sport truck that was launched in 1991 and then it spawned a Jimmy-based Typhoon a year later. Some critics say that the Syclone pickup has specifications that had more in common with a Porsche rather than pickups even though the Syclone has a turbocharged 4.3L V6 engine equipped with Mitsubishi TD06-17C 8 cm² turbocharger and Garrett water/air intercooler. It develops 280HP of power and 475Nm of torque while mated with a 4-speed automatic. 0-60mph takes about 5.3 seconds and based on a Car & Driver test, it does a quarter-mile run in 14.1 seconds at 93 mph.



Dodge Ram SRT-10


What happens when you drop a big Viper V10 engine under the hood of the Dodge Ram pickup? The answer was the Ram SRT-10 and unlike any other Ram Trucks, which were focused on utilitarian purposes, it was made for the purpose of speed.

It features an 8.3L Viper V10 engine which develops 510HP of power and 712Nm of torque. The regular cab model of the Ram SRT-10 with such an engine has a top speed of 153 mph (246 km/h), and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.9 seconds.

During its tenure, Dodge released several special models for the Ram SRT-10 such as the Viper Club of America Edition, the Yellow Fever, the Commemorative Edition, and the Night Runner. Right when the SRT-10 Ram stopped production after the 2006 model year, about 9,527 Dodge Ram SRT-10s were manufactured.

In 2004, the Ram SRT-10 was hailed as the fastest production truck in the world with an average speed of 154.587 mph (248.784 km/h). This record was beaten by an Australian-made HSV Maloo with a speed of 168.668 mph (271.445 km/h).



Saleen S331


While essentially a tuned version of the Ford F-150 SuperCab FX2, the S331 is Saleen's first-ever pickup truck since 2001 and it was priced at $54,000 for the supercharged model while non-supercharged models priced at $44,000.

The supercharged 5.4L V8 engine that powers it generates about 450HP of power and 500lb-ft of torque while being mated with a 4R75-E 4-speed automatic gearbox.

The S331 Sport Truck featured specially tuned front and rear springs and new shock absorbers specifically designed to withstand the bulk of the 23-inch forged, one-piece aluminum wheels holding 305/40R23 BFG high-performance tires, thus giving it a lower center of gravity.

While high-performance trucks sacrificed their utilitarian traits for performance purposes, the S331 keeps its traits while maintaining its performance quo. The base model has a full payload rating of 1300lbs and it's capable to tow a 5-ton trailer.



Okay, now that we finally get to know more about those sport trucks, let's find out which of these three is the best round the Top Gear Track and that means handing them over to the tamed racing driver...



I had the time! Let's see...

Syclone - 1:33.411
S331 - 1:38.145
Ram SRT-10 - 1:31.274

So based on the times, the V10-powered Dodge Ram is the quickest around the track so by sneaking suspicion, maybe the Ram SRT-10 is quite a sport truck that blown away its pickup image and sacrificed its utilitarian and offroad capabilities to become a muscle truck with a big engine that powers it. The Syclone though, that's just right for sport truck enthusiasts because even though it's not quite as fast as the V10 Ram, it's lighter and I think both of these sports trucks are instant classics because it's going to be very rare to find one of those for grabs. These are definitely future classics because of such rarity and value.

What about the S331? Meh, that's just a tuned Ford F-150 but who cares about it?
