is it just me or does anyone else think it would be way easier to do well on the show than the people on it make it look? i mean they make the dumbest mistakes, especially with the maps and stuff

Well, didn't the corvette guys say they wanted to come in the bottom of the times ecah time, in order to stay off people's radar?
Look at the Avelanche and Solstice guys, they are going to be the ones people are gunning for because they are the ones who are playing too hard to win each stage because they end up picking a competitor to go into the challenge.
So yeah, it benefits you to lay low and stay off people's radar somewhat. The corvette was a perfect car for this challenge, especially having the traction control. That is probably what helped them win this challenge because of the slippery conditons. Both the solstice and camaro spun bad.

they painted the vents on the side red so im thinkin it adds about 25hp per red vent giving it about an extra 50hp to the wheels...the lambo doors help the aerodynamics of the car allowing it to cut back on almost all wind resistance...with these mods it could probably run a 5 or 6 second 1/4 mile...then again, i could be mistaken...

lol....its not so much about the car as it is the ability of the driver...just like last season...the f150 went all the way right next to the trans am...obviously they are similar in any way and both did just about equal throughout the show...

lmao, thats funny, do you have honda friends?? lol It sucks to see the camaro have to leave, but I think the vette is definately one of the best cars for the situations given. Then again I thought the Evo was a good choice as well, and we all see how that went... ouch!!!
Same with Papa Dart. What kind of ******** flips the car AFTER completing the challenge?!?! Should have kicked them out for just being stupid.

I think even if they boot the Corvette guys they need to follow them home for comedy. It was funny last night, "man, I want to find some fireworks, lets stop somewhere!" 10 min later they are picking out what they want. It reminded me of the Cobra guys in the first episode making fun of Goldberg and what he would say to them if they did stupid stuff, "Team Cobra, you stopped at the mall to go shopping, what the hell are you doing?" 
Was sad to see the Camaro go. I figured he and the Solstice for sure were going to be in the finals for sure, even after he bailed the avalanche guy out from the bar he threw him in there... I want to see the Lexus girls try it and see how bad they are in a course. Of all the cars their, they are the farthest away from any sort of performance orientation for any of these tracks.

Yeah it was sad to see the Camaro go!
I liked the VW guys, but one of them is a hothead. Seems like a jackass. I understand they didn't (and most everyone) like the Evo guys, but he escalates things.
Also Avalanche, I really wanted to like them..... Some good ole boys. But they started getting kinda mean after Solstice picked them for a challenge. Doing stupid stuff on the freeway. And the driver has a temper (remember the map thing?). He also get arrested for starting s**t with a bartender....and OF COURSE he's innocent. The preview for the next episode makes him look even more like a d**k. I wanted to like them, but the driver just seems like a cocky a**hole now that Evo is gone.

my son and I always sit down and watch it together (he's 8). He tells me "Dad, you CAN'T watch it without me!"
so I DVR it and we fast forward through the commercials
