top gear did, but it was pretty poor, i hope the US version is better. i used to love the UK version until i did an episode for them on our vehicles, i now cant stand them out of principle. some parts are still quite funny though..

there was Pulling power show with them driving a Rocket, the footage that was left on the cutting room floor showed the 1.8 standard Rocket out cornering a Westfield but then Ed, who sat in the car, but then said he needed to remove the seat (how bizarre) crashed the Rocket, no damage but they edited that bit. Had me wondering why. Take the seat out of the Westfield if you are tall but no need in the Rocket. I assume they did not wish to favour one over the other. There is a link on the top corner of Aid's page if you have 5 minutes jetpower.co.uk/mev_media.htm

There was also the 5th gear one which were trying to play up the kit car, but I think made the west field look good and the rocket look like a cheap dodgy kit. Pi§§ed me off a bit that to be honest. Exocist.. no I didn't mean it like that.. top gear did my vehicles at work.. I put a link to the episode. I hate it though..

top gear UK did the episode where they built the car while the stig raced one. There is a Top Gear episode with MEV cars? Which episode? It wasnt a MEV car. Season 8 episode 7 the three build a Caterham 7 kitcar on pit road of a track. They have to build a car in the time that stig drive a turn key from the factory to the track.
