Don't worry Loren the NASCAR ep is coming and hey those cars are a lot to handle so maybe that wouldn't be bad but whatever.
I am having a hard time believing the Viper was the fastest around the track.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Come to think of it... this show was all flash. They focused on a bunch of supercars and didn't even do a review of anything even remotely affordable. Couldn't they have thrown in something cheap, fast and somewhat intersting... even American... a Cobalt SS, a Mustang GT, anything.

No way! She's not so good on a road course. I'm not sure who it is, but I'll be tuning in to see if I can gather more clues. Now that the UK Stig is revealed, I think it adds to the mystique of the US Stig.

Not me... the Viper ACR is absurdly quick in every category. I like the American test track a lot better than the UK version... it seems to be much tougher due to the surface being rougher. It also seems like it'll be a lot easier to damage some of these ridiculously expensive cars which could get interesting... there's actually stuff to hit.

It looked like to me that the viper could have gone faster. The person driving the car would have to be able to cometely remove their fear of dying to achive this. Still, the time set is probabley going to be hard to beat by anything other than a little bit.
