I'm not sure about the lower budget part. I've seen the Konesseggegge CCX (LOL) on the show as well as TT Saleen S7 and Alexander has been on the show before with his Carrera GT, not to mention Ultima Gt, Noble's, Novitec F430 and Ford Gt's going 200 in the standing mile!

I could be wrong but I was at Brabus (SoCal) on Monday morning and that 997 was parked inside the shop. I know CEC/Brabus work together now and it didn't hit me until I saw the show Monday night that I had just seen that car about 12 hours earlier.

I watched the entire program. The white 997 is the car for me just based on appearance but the 996 is insane. How can it be that fast? Was the CEC 997 floored?

I thought I heard them say, "We'll see you next year" or "That's all for this year" or something.
I'm like, "One show??" Wow, talk about limited budget.
Not being smart a-ss, but wonder why a bigger budget show like that would not spring for some more lights. Few times heard the guys complain that they were lost our there. Maybe another grand for a couple hundred more cones?? Also literally would have cost under a grand for a portable hoist from rent-a-center so they could take some aerial shots of the cars going around the corners.
Sorry I come from an audio/video production background so when you know what goes into shoots, you start to be critical of them too much.
Hope they keep doing shows. That was my dream and I SO glad someone is doing it.!!!

Overall it's a pretty good show. Tanner spent time with the troops overseas and took a few service men for some drifting rides in a Ford Gt and in the same episode some idiot driving a Carrera Gt almost crashed into Tanner driving the Competition Saleen S7
. Set your DVR/Tivo it runs atleast 2-3 times a week.
Another show they hooked up group of Lambo's, Ferrari's and a couple of other exotics with group of lowriders to admire each others rides and go for a cruise.
For us AMG'ers Tanner took a 2008 CL65 drag racing (1/8th) mile at Irwindale in another episode.
