Tonight they had a Mercedes SLR... what was even more impressive than its speed was its stopping/braking power (looked downright terrifying, 120mph-0mph in under 210 feet?), though I suppose that is easier to show to us viewers at home braking power than acceleration. It also looked really friggin awesome, I was never really impressed with its looks before I saw this show. They also had a Mercedes G55, which was okay.

Then they had a segment where the 3 guys had to buy Porsches (1 each) for $3000 or under, and they had a buncha tests to see who got the best deal. This was more silly than informative...one guy's poor beaten up 928 broke down 7 times within 70 miles, from things like a massive coolant leak to broken piston rings. Anyways, it was on over here at 7 PM and I think there's another showing
