I generally enjoy watching Danny, but my heart sank when I saw that ridiculous cowl induction hood.

I noticed the Chevrolet Orange Pontiac engine, but at least it stayed Pontiac powered. And they stayed with the four speed and the Crager wheels made for a nice touch. I wasn't crazy about the hood either but the rest of the car looked nice.

At first when they just flashed the engine I thought they had committed the ultimate sin and put a (puke) chevy in it. When I slowed the picture down I was happy to see they just painted the engine to match the exterior of the car...........
If it was Fast and Loud show instead, I know it would have ended up with a SBC in it. Those guys think they have original ideas, however they just follow the crowd when it comes to powering any GM car or hot rod with a SBC. |

Those monkeys just "ghettoize" most cars they buy and are surprised when they don`t find buyers with deep pockets.

He recognized the car by the "Anthax" sticker on the dash...and had previously said they had "some good times" in that car.
Yeah....I'll bet.

I like to call that the Pontiac man's sleeper look. Paint the engine orange so nobody will think it's fast.

It's entertainment but 90% of the stuff they turn out is NOT my cup of tea.
Did they charge some dude like $20k for a Manx???? haha And like $35k for a Trike (yea, I'm still on season 1) It's sooooo set up too. And for gods sakes, PLEASE STOP PUTTING FLAMES ON YOUR CARS PEOPLE! It's not 1991 anymore. ugh... |
