We're back in action! I'm at ‪@HennesseyPerformanceF5‬ to collect my Ford GT that's shipped over from the UK, now ready for some fun in Texas. It gets started in style with drag races on the runway before we blast over to Hypercar Genesis in Austin with the most insane line-up!

After shipping out my Ford GT with MyCarImport a month ago or so, we've had a quick stop in Chicago to meet up with ‪@TheHamiltonCollection‬ before flying on to Texas to pick up the Shmeemobile ready for everything that's ahead. Hennessey kindly received it on my behalf to prepare it for everything that's ahead, and that means a stop by a venue I've visited many times before to have some fun on the runway and check out both the H850 Dark Horse and H1200 Mammoth TRX.

With all well and fun at Hennessey HQ, our next stop is to Hypercar Genesis, the opening night for the GT1 Sports Club weekend at Circuit of the Americas. Visiting COTA is the purpose for this trip, and the combination of TEN, Hypercar Invitational, GT1 Sports Club and SRO have put together this incredible welcome evening with a seriously impressive display.

To name some of the highlights; Fastrrr has presented his new Apollo IE and brought the Zonda Revolucion, there are a number of Venom F5s from RAFA Racing Club, multiple Bugatti Chiron Super Sports, ‪@GGEXOTICS‬ with the Pagani Utopia, the full holy trinity on display, and so much more.

What an amazing welcome to the USA, and a huge thank you to everybody who helped with logistics and making it such an amazing experience to get this tour started!

Thanks for watching, Tim

  • 5 years ago (June 2019) i was in the waiting room while my wife was in labour with my son. Watching the Ford GT in America fast forward 5 years and im in a waiting room in the same hospital while my son is being operated watching the same car back in the U.S.A!!!

    Tim has earned the title of CarTuber with the Most Hustle. So many phone it in nowadays and he’s out working them all.
  • @Austin-mz9ol
    You should absolutely get the Hennessy pack on your dark horse. It would make it so much more unique, better for content, just worth it all around.
  • @stephrr306
    Shmee experiencing swangas in Texas makes me so happy 😂😂😂
  • @nosumone
    Yes would be a good idea to give the Darkhorse the Hennessey treatment.
  • @jackhaskins6855
    No question you have to do the H-850 upgrade. Otherwise it is just a 50k go cart in the Shmuseum. A parts runner even.
  • @JDR1971
    The color on that GT is just fantastic!
  • @CoreyBoers
    Your excitement having the GT in the US, and enjoying that new exhaust is contagious on this end Tim!
  • @YodaIamnot1981
    Tim, to me it might seem a bit sacrilegious but you should absolutely do the H850 pack on your Dark Horse. I got a chance to see your Dark Horse at SEMA last year and thought at the time that there was a potential for more. Hope you do consider doing the H850 pack. That Dark Horse at Hennessy was wicked.
  • @danielgrice9188
    I am looking forward to the videos of the second Ford GT USA Tour
  • @AlainSTO
    I always love it when a video is or ends up being like a car spotting video. You got the authentic Texas carshow meetup. More energy than a Concors.
  • @malcolmar
    Shmee just continues to deliver with the great content. Welcome back to the States sir! The Ford GT is looking stunning as ever. The fact the fist stop was Hennessey HQ with a special look at those F5s was glorious. And then there was that amazing hypercar meet up and all this was just a little part of the first day. Truly great stuff. Thank you for bringing us along.
  • @WilliFR
    Ngl the new exhaust does miracles to this Ford GT. it sounds mental
  • This is awesome Shmee. 😎👍🏾 Thanks for bringing me for a look-see! 👍🏾
  • Tim, at 19:31 those rims are called Swangers or swingers and are paired with Vogue Tyres. This is a car culture unique to the Houston Texas area and has roots with Chopped and Screwed Rap music.
  • @superspeeds2173
    I've been watching your videos for some time now and it was absolutely incredible being able to see you 2 times this weekend and get a picture with you!!
  • It was a pleasure meeting you on Friday! Dream come true. Thank you for being so friendly and kind.
