Finally some decent car shows on Speed again. It was nice to see Tiff back to his old form, but the other hosts need to step up their skills to help carry the show along IMO.

Is that the tuner portion of the show? They had a Viper getting smoked by a 400hp VW Golf looking british car.

Yup...Tiff wasn't crazy about AWD...no surprise and the fact that Lambo controls the traction control even when you had the switch off...Sounds like he felt the murci took the true lambo feel out of lambo....

I didn't see the show, but I caught the last 30 seconds. Boris Said was on (not Brian, don't know who he is).

And Shawn, I believe that Golf-looking car was a Nissan Pulsar GTiR.
