I guess I am not surprised by the outcome.  I don't expect a 3500lb 40 year old car to win a road race against newer imports.  The classic car still looks amazing on the track regardless of the outcome.

    like that , there are a few more on there too will watch later ,  nothing on there we did not all know , lighter  smaller 200 +  bhp  car with modern suspension ,  braking & driver aids  on that sort of track , would show the muscle cars the fastest way home !!  need longer straights  , cause while the muscle car guys are standing on the brakes , to get  that heavy iron slowed down for the corner , the import guys have not even thought about braking yet    , with out looking at the rest of the shows , I'm betting  the import / ricer    prolly beat all  muscle cars    ,

I pretty much thought they where screwed from the start. Heavy cars do not like fast turns.

Lets see a drag races with the Farm Truck as a ringer.

They should have taken a page out of the Dominic Toretto Book of driving and pitt the suckers out

It'd help if they actually had a few guys driving the muscle cars that had some driving talent.

I don't mind the show, especially with having Ken Squire doing the announcing, but I could do without the other guys antics.

I know its all done I fun , for the show , but the other commentator Jon reep  ,  






tell you what , not taking anything away from these cars & drivers  , but  few of them import drivers have been round that track hundreds of times prolly in there own car , getting the feel of it how it behaves   , especially the  the driver of the  white VW station wagon ,  would be supprised if I was wrong !!  no way would I give mine a good hiding round a track  that ive only driven round a couple of times  , although perhaps i'm getting too careful  the older i'm getting  

watched all eight now  , there is some good races ,  well worth  fast forwarding IMO   to the money run at the end of each one !!  

heres all of them  , I enjoyed watching these , worth  just watching the money race at the end of each show

If today's car companies were half as concerned with style as they are with performance we'd be in car heaven right now.

Then he tricked us lol...i swore he said, "I just got done giving the grocerys to my wife in this car its stock and everything' 

[6spd68]

I just wish they didn't push the 'Redneck' card so hard, almost takes away from the actual racing...

The first time I watched that episode, I was disappointed.  Maybe, if they let him drive the General instead of a damn Camaro
