Trust me, there have been far worse episodes than that one.

To be honest, I'd prefer a show closer to the Test Drive episodes than the current format. Sure, they are more advertising for the brand than anything else, but having the manufacturers get involved supplying cars/drivers/etc is a GOOD thing. Right now, there's about 5 minutes of actual content, and around 20 minutes of useless coverage.

It is great to see a show about, or mostly about, European exotics here in the U.S.



BTW, my thanks to Alex and all of the others here who have allowed their cars to be filmed for the show.
Do you believe Americans are incapable of producing a quality television show about cars?

I think that any advertising based network is doomed with a show trying to be like Top Gear, as they would never trash the manufacturers that they are pandering to for advertising. Something like HBO, etc., maybe, although it doesn't quite fit with their lineup.

Hi Blake,
I might be down there sooner than you think... I threw down a challenge against a Twin Turbo Gallardo vs. my PORSCHE (50mph roll on to whatever top speed) and he accepted! =)

I don't believe that. No television show needs automotive advertising. There are a bazillion other advertisers out there and, being in the advertising game, it's the dudes selling advertising that are short-sighted.

Supercars Exposed was a repeat last night. I thought it was going to be a new episode.

Supercars Exposed is currently talking with some fellow Fchatters from the Norcal section about being part of an episode.

Last night's filming of Supercars Exposed 'Ultimate Street Car Shootout' was the most fun of all so far...This WILL be, in my opinion, the best SE show so far..... Stay tuned!

It will be difficult for them to get all of that footage they took into a 30 minute show. It will definatly be action packed!!!

Article on Tanner Faust in the OC Register today at http://www.ocregister.com/articles/f...58-around-cars

Strangely enough, no mention of Supercars Exposed, nor the US Top Gear...
