its definetley worth watching. youll miss alot if you jump in now, for the 4th show next week. do some research and youll catch up. the driving/racing scenes arent all that great, but on the whole, its a good show. like prison break in a car.

and they claim its a 72 challenger.....but looks alot like either a 70 or 71.

I just saw the first episode on Sunday night. I didn't give it much of a chance, because I was instantly disappointed by the unoriginal plot. I'm also turned off by the stereotyping. I mean, why does the Trans Am driver have to be white with a southern accent?! Come on.

i can't believe they did that. it's def not a 72...grille is from a 70 as are the tail lights.

i'm gonna go mopar fanboy on everyone for a minute here.

the grille on the 71 was separated into 2 sections and the reverse lights were enclosed inside brake lights instead of off to the side

the 72-74 challengers looked like total poo

and here's a pic i found of the car from the show:



p.s. i was planning on going with a turbo on my car, but now i'm just thinking big cubes

I wouldn't say that, while the early cars did look better I think ALL Challengers (and later 'cudas) looked good.

I don't know, the only part i saw while flipping through the channels was when a father/daughter team in a taurus was racing a couple of guys in a muscle car(forgot what kind of car). Seemed kind of weird, so i changed the channel.

Sunday night was two 1 hour episodes back to back. They even did a small recap at the start of the second episode.

the highway race scenes are extremely gay. why would the charger be shifting gears every 5 seconds when it is barely doing 95 mph? and you really cant say anything good about that hoodlum in his hoopty.

I caught it by accident, and didn't give it more than a few minutes. It's Fox, so it's probably gonna be cancelled by the end of the 1st or 2nd season anyway.
