The blokes from the real Top Gear are back in the States to test what us 'Mericans do best – big V8s, rear-wheel-drive and powerslides. Clarkson, Hammond and May flew into San Francisco on Wednesday and then made a B-line for Reno before heading south, reportedly to test the out a trio of American muscle at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

If you're just as obsessed as us, you don't have to look at the photos in the gallery to know who snatched the keys to a Corvette ZR1, Dodge Challenger and Cadillac CTS-V. But we'll spoil the (lack of) surprise for you anyway. Clarkson grabbed the 'Vette, Hammond is getting his retro kicks in the Challenger and May – the consummate stately sedan man – is piloting the CTS-V. Top Gear is rumored to be back on the air towards the end of October, and we're hoping this segment kicks off the next season. Thanks for the tip, Ben!

Damn it we need to find about these things before they happen. Which will never happen.

Are they at the Legacy in those pictures?

Anybody else holding info about sweet cars being tested at Reno-Fernley?

All three of those guys look busted in those pictures! :lol: Only Hammy's got an excuse with that rocket-car crash and all.

They are at Circus Circus in those pics. Damn, I wish I would have known, I walk down there everyday! Blasphemy!!! And I think I would have noticed a ZR1 and a new Challenger

Awesome! But isn't the Bonneville Salt Flats East, not South?

God I love that show. I'm looking forward to seeing the episode.

Silly Brits... when your whole country is a little island, it's probably easy to get all confused out in the desert.

This episode aired Sunday, and it was awesome.

It did! On BBC America?

No, I stole it.

Then bob seeded it to me in torrent form.
