In a road trip across the Southwestern United States of America, the presenters attempt to discover which of their GT Based-supercars is the best: the Lexus LFA, Aston Martin Vanquish, or an SRT Viper GTS. Along their journey from Nevada to the Mexican border the presenters battle fighter pilots in a game called 'Aerial Laser Tag', have a drag race in Las Vegas, and cause trouble on a Los Angeles storm drain. The presenters also staged a race from Palm Springs to the border with Mexico at Calexico; the last to arrive at the finish line would have to cross the border to review the Mastretta MXT in a later episode.

Trivia[]
- On streaming services, a scene of the trio watching a professional basketball game on the TV in the bar of the Palm Springs hotel would be edited to not show the TV, due to copyright issues with the NBA. The original cut of this scene is in the original broadcast, and can be pinpointed as a Friday, November 16, 2012 game between the host Memphis Grizzlies and the visiting New York Knicks, which saw the Grizzlies win 105-95.
