it was quite good seeing the lambo's. Diablo is lovely.

I want a go in that race!

Ever so slightly an American bias in the program don't ya think????

IMHO usual QW pile of cack
How exactly do u define a supercar?
Noticed there was not a single mention of any rice rockets
Or are they all being saved for a special edition perhaps?
"Affordable supercars" or "buget supercar eaters"
IMHO If only Q could see past Germany, he`d realise that there is a
lot 2 b said for vehicles from our Eastern friends surely the skyline if nothing else should have had a mention? Or doesn`t that
cost enough

It was made by TLC (The Learning Channel), which is US-based - so what do you expect? The only cars we saw are the ones the Americans have heard of, and if it aint got a big V? (or is a Porsche) then they don't care...

Also the program was 4 years old

Still, it saves me bothering to watch it next time

I was wondering, that programme was made in 1998, but how come QW mentioned abt the Ferrari 575M? I thought that car was only launched at the start of this yr with the F2002.
The time devoted to American 'supercars' are more than the combined airtime for both Ferrari & Lambo.

I liked it. Much better than watching the news. Anything with cars in it is good for me

Lighten up guys You'd moan more if there were no car programmes at all.

What about that Ford Boss though? 0-100 and back to a stop in 11secs, all done through two wheels, mad!

I didn't say I didn't like it Just that I wouldn't go out of my way to ensure I was in on a Sunday night to watch it

American "power without control" cars are always amusing

Not having a go at you Richard , but Pete, yes!

I liked the road race thing, cool. Also the 810 BHP Ford, they said it came out from the factory like it!!!!! That'll get the tree huggers going

Can I say 'tree hugger'????

Flame suit on:

Apart from the multitude of Ferraris and the Lamborghini. How many of these vehicles were "Supercars". Jag is a GT. Aston is a GT. 911 is a GT. Elise is a sportscar. The Jaguar owners club?????!!!! FFS. The E-Type (dont know) the Shelby cobra (Don't know)Those idiots in America were just huge engines in relativly ordinary cars. So not technically a supercar as these tend to handle. (note loved watching the informative hand signals as to what was around the next straight (how boring is that race!) - Could have done with an intercom methinks) Mustang is a muscle car, as is the Corvette. (I term muscle car as huge engine, soggy suspension. Where was the McLaren?!?!? The ULTIMATE Supercar! Or Maseratis?

Load of sh*te wish Id done something else rather than watch that!

I mean Clarkson does this sort of programme 100 times better. And that aint really saying much.

To be honest with the amount of soap operas, diy, gardening and cookery shows I think you were lucky to get anything car related . Mind due I did tape Ray Mears as it was on at the same time which was pretty good.

johnfelstead

i have a confesion.

I fell asleep watching that and woke up just as the race started.

Think that says it all really.

Clearly you've never driven or been in a muscle car. A Corvette will rattle your fillings out, a Camaro Z28 isn't much better. It depends what age of car you're talking about. The wonderful way cars were sold in the muscle car heyday, you could order the bottom of the range car, with top of the range engine. Impreza GL with P1 motor, anyone?

Somehow, the idea of ordering the 500hp 454cu in (7.4L) motor in a small-ish car with soggy suspension, drum brakes, bench seat with lap belts appealed to some people
