Maybe its a plot to further promote the the "fart can brigade" and make old outdated vehicles less appealing to the youth market.
Those "twin's turbo" brothers make their living tweaking "fast & furious" garbage.  No way they can make a real musclecar perform better than those 4-banger turds huh?  yeah.....I'll watch

It was, like the other episodes, stupid. I liked the interviews with Jim Wangers in front of a Camaro.

They never get into the fine detail that I crave. I enjoyed the show just cause of the Firebirds but they didn't teach me anything new. What was with the camaro as the background car?

I turned it off and went to bed as soon as I saw the spray. I did see them catch the trunk on fire with the bottle in it. I watch it long enough to see if the blew their dumn a$$es up. Almost as entertaining a when "Two Jerk's Garage" installed a fuel cell and advised taping the aluminum fuel line to the battery cable to the trunk. Good viewing for amateur bomb builders. Where do they get these people?

I warmed to the show just because it reminded me of my first Firebird. A Yellow 74 Formula 400. Here is a picture of it in 1980 running my first ever quarter mile pass at Santa Pod Raceway in England. The thing is, it ran 14.73 at 96mph with no modifications, on street radials with a 'Know Nothing' driver (slightly less than I know now).

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
