Horsepower TV's autocross camaro Did anyone see this weekends Horsepower TV? They took the SS camaro (4th gen) that they had in storage and decided to make it a "autocross" car. They made the more mistakes than I thought possible. I was laughing as they listed off the parts they were using. They really were just pimping for the sponsors, With no real plan on making the car work. I mean airbags and a carbed LS1 in a 4th gen for autocross? Also Reguardless if you like BMR parts or not, they used parts in the front end That I would not run anywhere but a dragstrip, Manual steering LOL, lets see that turn some 315 R tires. and a lightweight K member and arms that look like they would fold up under R compound grip.
They never did address how they will fit a carb under the cowl, the engine had about 3/4 in of clearance to the cowl to the top of the intake.
I wish they would do more then run a 30 min infomercial

He seems to know a bit about cars; it's the two garage guys who don't seem to know **** about anything automotive.
The only show I liked watching on that channel was trucks with Stacey - he actually knew his ****, and they did some cool builds. All the other shows seem like 10 minutes of product plugging, and 20 minutes of commercials. Granted, with the range of stuff they work on, one can't expect them to know everything, but common sense would seem to dictate that they at least do a little research on their current "platform in work" before recommending mods.

Stacey has a new show on Speed channel called Gearz. Its just as good or better than Trucks! was. Check it out www.gearztv.com He still has a few of the old Trucks project trucks on this show. Like Sargent Rock and Copperhead.

Those guys aren't stupid, and I'm sure if they got to do whatever they wanted they would be building much cooler things in a fashion that made much more sense. It's a TV show, they have to keep sponsors happy.
