Just finished watching 8 episodes of a new series on Netflix called Fastest Car & really enjoyed it! Something a bit different to the likes of Fast & Loud, Misfit Garage etc etc in that sleepers are up against the likes of Lambo's & Ferrari's. Well worth watching inmo  Some wicked sleepers especially Lunch Money  |

Only watched two episodes so far, not the best but by no means bad to watch  Only real criticism so far is the Yanks obviously have a completely different opinion of what a "sleeper" is  |

Watched the first episode yesterday and forgot to post on here. Started thinking it was going to be rubbish and actually really enjoyed it. Doesn’t seem fake or scripted, or at least it’s hidden much better! Also Netflix documentaries are normally well put together and this seems the same.
I’ve added this and Shifting Gears to my regular car related viewing

The boosted Honda however would do the family wagon job nicely, and be hilarious to out drag supercars if you could ever find grip. |

I quite like it odd way of filming a car show but good to burn some time.
But how is dodge hot rod a sleeper? Americans huh.

I watched the first few episodes in full then skimmed through to see what cars were competing against each other.
I must say i was disappointed the final was run on dirt and not tarmac, it's kinda obvious it'd give the advantage to the 4wd car.

Got through two episodes last night, came back here to say thanks for mentioning it. I've really enjoyed them so far, as people have said different to the run of the mill car shows that are coming out now. It has less of the massive scripted drama which seems to be crippling shows at the moment.

Thanks for mentioning this,
really enjoyed it so far haven't seen the final race yet.
Prefer this as there's none of the forced drama that you get with Fast n loud and other similar shows
Most of the competitors on it seem to show true interest and respect for each others cars
Felt so bad for the Rx-2 guy though

I started watching this the other day after one of the guys in work mentioned it. It's very....American. But I enjoyed it. Cool to see some cars I've seen before elsewhere on the telebox (lunch money was on Hoonigans youtube).
Also a bit confused at their definition of a sleeper.

Watched the first 2 episodes and then skimmed the rest. I liked the back story aspect to it, but as said before, the term sleeper was very loosely applied.
I cant decide if the final was done on dirt just to favor the 4wd or something the producers thought would be a level playing field as no one had done it before.

Maybe there was limited choice as to where you could safely get 6 cars lined up alongside each other? |

Watching the one with the chromed and pimped Lamborghini right now.
The owner.... Seems like a right Wayne Kerr.

Watched one yesterday and, whilst I appreciate the story and craft that's gone into a lot of these machines it ain't really my bag.
Not enough technical detail or evidence of the builds themselves, and nowhere near enough driving to keep me entertained.
Each to their own, though!

Watched the first episode last night. Thought the guy with the Honda was properly nuts and the Lunch Money Rat Rod was interesting.
I also felt that Hannah Maloof was a bit spoilt and also a bad loser.

I also felt that Hannah Maloof was a bit spoilt and also a bad loser. Yes, she certainly didn't like loosing. They were also overly tight lipped about the truck in the pits. The other teams seemed to feel they felt they were a step apart from them. Honestly the monster diesel truck was appalling. I understand each to their own but how can you pour SO much black curse word into the air without crawling out of your own skin with embarrassment. Overall I prefer it to the blatant dishonesty of WD etc and their entirely made up "E-Type resto for a grand guvnor? No problem" shenanigans, |

Another show on there that isn't too bad is "Wrek Trek"
group of people buy cheap cars to drive from Berlin to Cape Town.
Full of drama queens but quiet funny to watch them.
