It seems pretty neat but what is it? I have never heard of it.

it is good for the entertainment factor,that is about it. They had to have paid off the cops in the 1st episode the way they were all flying around other cars and other bad driving antics.

Most likely the police that they show are not real police.Take the first show when the police officer pulled over the OLDS anyone that nervous talking would have been searched along with his nav and the car. Also no police oficer would give consideration to a civilian because he has a family member that is a police officer in another state. Ask me how I know I have a lot of family that were State troopers,Deputy Sheriff,Also City Police officer it didn't stop me from getting a ticket when I was younger.

The 2nd show those guys would not have gotten off with a warning like they did with all the infractions they supposedly broken.

I just saw the 2nd episode and I can't believe that F-150 lost the lead because they didn't pick up time bonus. They finished 1st, but time bonus killed them.

By the way, what did F-150 driver say about Nissan at the end? I didn't catch that part.

Just saw it for the first time this week, it seems pretty cool. I can't believe the lambo decided to break all of the lights on each side of the bus at once and still had such a slow time, the dude driving must suck.

As far as the cop in the second show I could very easily see it as being real. They got pulled over for nothing and when the cop found out he was being taped he decided to give them a warning.

When the Nissan was brought in on the flatdeck there was a group of them standing around and the driver of the F-150 started laughing and said that they "should have bought a Ford".

It was pretty funny. The BMW is only ahead by 22 seconds. I don't think the Mustang is going to hang around much longer.

Nice car.

I agree about Mustang, but I think '57 Chevy will be next car eliminated.

Charger vs Lotus was amazing. Almost 40 years old muscle car outrun one of the best handling cars in the world.

great show, although i think a LOT of it is staged. like posted, why does one vehicle come in b4 another, yet the later one gets 1st?!? and the cop thing? that was weird.

what's up with the lambo? clutch fine now? the honda sux, the chick in the firebird is my future mistress, and i hope the "good ol' boys" in the mustang win. lol....

You’ve got to keep the cameras in mind, you saw them and the cop, but there were probably a bunch of cameras swarming around, changes things a little. Doubt a cops going to think your running drugs on TV. The I know a cop bit was just stupid.
