Graveyard Carz

[ACUDANUT]

Hi Guys,

This is just a test as I'm having trouble posting here. If it works I'll be back on later to update everyone on the Show and the carz! ~Mark

Yea, it's been over a year and I have so much money, that I don't need you guys anymore.  It was so difficult to post here, I wonder how I changed my oil.-Mark

show was good until mark said, stock exhaust manifolds make the same power as headers 

[Budnicks]

Yeah for all you haters who have given up on the show - the second show of the season really has the feel to it everyone has been asking for.   If the old format was 75% drama and 25% cars, this new one was the exact opposite.    I was very impressed.

It was better yes, but IMHFO it's much more like 55% drama/grab a$$ & 15% product plugging & 30% cars, just because people have criticism of the show, characters & format doesn't make people haters, I'd like to see the show make it   I thought the parts with Josh teaching Heidi {Holly} ? about documenting & cleaning parts, was that he's a pretty damn patient guy & taught her pretty well, much better than Mark, his insults or lame movie references {she was clueless, so was 90% of the audience too}... the run in stand plugging & the arguing with Darren & Mark, blown fuse rant, is still a little much, somewhat humorous... It was Really Good to see an esteemed member Que-ball now DC .com's TV star there...LOL, but not really much on the Daytona, but it was really nice to see it anyway... Mark actually fessed up, about being late with the paint & customer being upset...   still had to fast forward thru about 20 minutes of Markisms

My hunch is that there is no way a stock set of HP's will flow like a set of TTI's or other good header. 

The show is definitely making an improvement. 
The scenes between Mark & Holly were a little creepy, though. Awk-ward!   

Well, in context, he was saying that people threw away perfectly good HP manifolds for a set of bolt-on headers with no other head work assuming a horsepower boost - and this was in the pre-CAD design era he's talking about - so they probably added very little back then if you did nothing else to the motor.  And you know 99% of those guys never actually dynoe'd them.   And to his point, nobody could know a stock HP manifold would be worth anything more than scrap 40 years later.

I added a CAI to my 2011 RAM and didn't realize until I went to install it, that there was a pretty damn good CAI setup already on the truck.    I probably added a little flow and it definitely rumbles harder, but I made the same assumption a lot of people probably made about the HP manifolds - aftermarket HAS to be better - but in this case probably wasn't.  I'm not paying for a dyno to find out, I'll just be happy with the extra boom and move on.

I do love downshifting and passing Fords and Chevys and loudly blasting by them with all ~400ish horses.   Can't wait to do the same thing in my '68.

Last week mark said the 69 Daytona was a transformed charger r/t. Didn't creative industries use the concept of the 500 charger? IDK maybe they did transform the r/t's

[tsmithae]

The 500 was the first attempt at an aero car but they had issues with aerodynamics.  The Daytona was the solution and yes they used R/Ts. 

[ozoner]

Good to know. Thank you !!

I'm hoping Mark just didn't have time to provide the whole explanation. A Charger 500 was born, went through, and left the factory as Charger 500 and a Daytona as a Daytona. Creative made the final modifications but the cars were never designated as R/Ts. Technically, the standard equipment was the same/based on the R/T but it wasn't like they randomly pulled an R/T off the line and said "this one will be a Daytona".

Much better explanation, thanks. 

[ozoner]

Yes very good. I learn everyday

That's a good read, thanks for sharing that.

Watched an episode last night, and was surprised to see a Superbird that belongs to a friend of mine shown as part of a vinyl top trivia question.

I called him up.....he had no idea they were going to use a shot of his car, and doesn't really mind.  He's proud of it and doesn't mind showing it off.

This pic does get around.

deleted the last two shows and probably taking it out of my dvr schedule, not wasting my time anymore after the popcorn crap

deleted the last two shows without watching them and probably taking it out of my dvr schedule, not wasting my time anymore after the popcorn crap

sorry that should have been modify instead of quote

[nvrbdn]

i recorded, and watching tonight.

[64dartgt]

...is key.  That way I can fast forward through all the commercials and the BS if it gets too much to deal with.   

[TruckDriver]

this episode had a lot of good info. in it. And I think I am starting to understand the humor between the guys. Darrin made me laugh out loud at the end of the show.

I would be proud of it too, that's a beautiful car.

Either I'm kind of getting use to all the lame Markisms & grab a$$ BS crap, or the show is actually getting a smidgen better... after season 3 now, getting to know the characters better... I didn't have to FFWD thru too much last night... Mark was ever so slightly, a little more respectful to the guys... {my ol'Pops still refuses to watch it at all, so I watch/DVR after he goes to bed}... Maybe Mark/he's actually listening to many of the constructive criticisms...  The Darren & Mark banter grab a$$ BS, is still way too much of the show, too much of the lame Three Stooges routine... IMHFO Royal, the very little actually ever seen Derrick (?) or Holly, are the only decent workers in that shop, they just puts their heads down & actually work... Josh is young & still learning, I expect less from him, he's still green & has to work for & with his father in law, kind of a different dynamic there...  There's nothing wrong with having fun, needling each other, especially with your old HS friends &/or a few lame jokes, but not the main format of the show

[ACUDANUT]

Ummm, what.... "Either I'm kind of getting use to all the lame Markisms & grab a$$ BS crap, or the show is actually getting a smidgen better... "

[nvrbdn]

i thought it was fine. darren made me laugh.im good.

Mark has mentioned on Facebook that he reads the comments and will continue to make changes. However, season 3 is all done and he can't change that at all. I think overall the show is much better and more informative this season. Season 4 should be the best. Then again, that's my 440 6 pack challenger they took apart the other night. Won't see more of it till season 4 now.
