cant wait to see the episode

 

I hoping Top Gear USA brings some life back into the series. Seems like the last couple seasons that the UK guys were just getting too old and too fake.

=J-

 

I know what you mean. It's just nice to see fresh faces of people who aren't idiots. Obviously Tanner Foust is a professional driver, so watching him drive is VERY entertaining, plus you're getting the opinion of an actual car guy who knows these things inside and out. The other hosts (whose names I forget) clearly don't have as much expertise but are also car guys themselves, though they seem to do driving mostly when it's one of those competitions when all three drivers are involved, whether it's the Lamborghini race that they had from the YouTube video or the moonshine race in a $1,000 car (also seen in another YouTube preview).

While the other two guys are funny in their own ways, I do miss Jeremy Clarkson's sense of humor, who was definitely funnier. But it's nice to see cars that wouldn't normally be tested on Top Gear (like the Ford F150 Raptor) along with American celebrity guests.

 

AutoEclectic.com invited a SoCal car forum (trackHQ.com) to compete against some Pros (hired guns)... entitled trackHQ.com -vs- the Pro.... kind of like a joe -vs- pro setup

The Evo 10 was used for the 1st round and then the owner of Chuckwalla lent his C6 Z06 on slicks for the 2nd and final round...

AutoElectric will be coming out with a full write up after SEMA and all the I can say is that I'm a proud member of trackHQ...!

 

I heard the white one is faster so they went with it

I'm not a big Tanner Foust fan, he may know about cars, but seems to talk more about himself in my opinion.

 

Well, if it helps, he didn't talk anything about himself on the show or in the videotaped segments of him test driving cars. It's 100% about what he's driving.
