    I liked it, always been a fan of those LCACs. Seems they want to compare everything to the CGT. Does anyone know if the S7 road car tried its hand at the Nuburgring North Loop record? I know the race was probably staged but its possible, isn't it?

    Anyone know why the headlights were taped over on the silver CGT? I was thinking to contain the pieces should the CGT wreck but then why wasnt the Ford GT headlights taped?

    Alex if you didnt catch the 10pm monday showing or the 6am tuesday showing theres one at 9:30pm saturday it seems.

    My guess is that the CGT was being raced on the track with the Fords and the headlights were covered in racers tape to prevent a possible stone chip to the headlights. New headlight units for the CGT are uber-expensive and the racers tape offers cheap insurance.

    I think all of those here criticizing the show need to lighten up a bit. Will the show go down in history alongside “Gone with the Wind” as a great American classic, of course not. But given that the show is produced in the good ol’ U.S.A., official home of NASCRAP, I think the show is a success and I enjoy watching it.

    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.

    Me too! After contributing to the USO, my family and I actually got a ride in one of those Beasts a couple of years ago - I sat where Tanner sat in the Pilots deck as well as below. The transition from terra firma to the ocean is so smooth. One could barely feel the transition.

    What a great vehicle. Last year when we had fires in Santa Catalina Island, the LCACs brought Fire Engines and Fighters to the Island. Good use of tax payers' dollars in my book.

    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.

    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 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!!!
