Guy gets a Merc CL65 AMG, picks up a blonde, flogs the car on track and off, and finally spends the night doing 1/8th mile drags with it.

That was fun to watch. I need to set that up as a series recording on DVR. That AMG was fast!!! Rear tires would burn up fast with that car, you'd have to set up a frequent buyers account with the local tire shop for sure.

I found it to be about as crappy as the rest of speed's lineup. Very disappointing.

I think Speed has quite a few good shows on weekly. I still watch it more than any other channel. It would be nice though if their season wasn't just 3 months out of an entire year.

I didn't catch that episode but last week's was pretty good. In that one they had the CHP close Mulholland Dr. and they ran a 911 C4, a Ferrari, and a Lotus Elise up and down it. Pretty cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

You must be referring to the BBC show, Top Gear. I love that show. I watched the 3 hosts last night drive around Europe in a 997 GT3 RS, a Lambo and an Aston Martin to find the best driving road. Did you see the episode where they tried to kill a old 911 here? Quite funny.

Different show. "SuperCars Exposed" is a new show on Speed hosted by some young kid.

I'd think I'd flog the blond instead.

the first show, on Mullhullond Hiway was shot at the "grandstand" up above the Rock Store--they did timed runs down the hill 1 mile and backup the hill to the "Granstand"
drivers were Tanner Foust and Townsend Bell---
was fun to see one of Howard's favorite places on Speed----

I think the Exige, beat the GT3 and the F340 at the end of the day,

This episode is even better than that one. It should have been the next week's episode. I just tivo everything and watch it after work while getting caught up here.

Any one see Jeremy Clarkston's Supercar Shootout? They had a pretty cool mix of exotic machinery. It's a show he does only once per year I'm told.
