Default Making of the AutoRox Mustang on Spike TV

Airing later today on Spike TV.

Making of the AutoRox Mustang.
Episode #: MC2006-13
Air Dates: Saturday 6/17 @ 12:30pm EST/PST,Sunday 6/18 @ 11:30am EST/PST

Spike TV needs a high-performance Mustang for the Autorox awards show - and Lou and Jared only have three days to build it. They make a brand-new Mustang GT even stronger and more sinister... and drive it onstage with just minutes to spare.

Ah yes the cable TV "Gotta build a kick *** car really QUICK" type show with the ridiculous deadline drama, LOL. I'd probably watch it if I didn't have to be at stupid work on a Sunday. [:'(]

It was a pretty cool episode, but too bad it was only a 30 minute show [:'(] They put nitrous on the car, but didn't show a lick of the install. Way too much time on the prep/paint of the body kits, and not enough on the power.

I agree. They spent way to much time on the paint portion of the show. The car was sweet for sure.

I thought it was pretty stupid. All they did was add a body kit, lower control arms, nitrious, and axle back... Oh, and wheels and tires. Was stupid. I'm glad it only lasted 30 minutes, because that's just about how long my attention span would have given it.

I liked how they cut the lower control arm that had the emergency brake cable running through it. The random street race was comic at best.

I do admire those guys for pointing out the proper prep for painting and such. The session on body prep for the Camaro they built were very impressive.

Yeah I saw this for the second time today and noticed that at the beginning of the episode they said they were putting in catbacks. I'm thinking, what gives? Did I miss something?

They did do new brakes also btw.

+2 - and the ricer wing and blue led purge kit was a joke. Notice how they only showed selected 'clips' of the race with the chevy? My guess is they got there asz smoked by the look of his burnout. Now the show before it (actually right before the 4x4 show) where they supercharged a camaro with a procharger was a pretty good show and informative.
