I remember seeing that and I was just like WTF!!!!

At least they have c5 z06's running low to high 13's with some good mods to. Then I saw a few weeks ago it was a little Toyota MR2 w/ 3 bolt ons and dr's running 13.0's... impressive for the MR2 but the stangs and vets get bashed

Those who know about cars will have respect. Those that want to talk **** and then line up with you will be in for a surprise when they were expecting a ****ty run. It's fun when you shock the **** out of somebody that expected you to be slow.

I hear you man. I wanted the outside apperance to be tight but decided to mod her up. Car still looks good but with the few mods that I have, it's a different car than when I bought it a year ago.

The stanks are all over the place on that show. I've seen Cobras run 14s an a guy claiming to be a stock s197 except for a set of drag radials run 12.5. Between the Sh!ty drivers and the liers that want to look like gods gift to driving instead of telling the truth about their mods it's extremely hard to get close to what the car should actually run.

Those things don't happen only on TV; they happen over and over again at test and tunes all over the country.

OK.....rant over.....but it really does suck to have to listen to these guys pick BS cars and BS drivers to compete on international TV.

I've watched a total of 6 episodes of the show and have concluded the following: it's kind of lame. JMO.

I'm totally with you here okbfd... in addition, I especially got pissed when the guy on the far right guessing the times looked over with attitude and said something like....Ya... and I don't like Mustangs...!!!!!
