The show grew on me as it progressed. However, parts of it felt forced (stupid helicopter locking onto the car with Tanner drifting around.....come on). Also, the 'standing mile' in the Lambos seemed just like Battle of the Supercars as did the trash talking about 'my car' and 'your car'.

I think it's a mistake to make an exact copy of one of the most popular shows on worldwide TV. Also, they'd be better off with three guys who have great repport rather than three hodge-podge selections. Imagine if the hosts were three of the Baldwin brothers.

From the preview, it looks like they have a segment on the 370Z next week. I'll have to watch at least one more...

The show was just okay. The only segment that worked was the Viper vs Cobra because the hosts put a bit of energy into it. The reason the UK show works is because of the hosts personality, you have to be a bit over-the-top on TV for it to carry to your audience - these hosts are just too dry most of the time. Especially Tanner, he needs a personality injection stat.
