Default Drag Race High????

Did any one see the new season of drag race high last night. i wasn't sure where to post this but o well. the one school is doing a 94 z28 camaro. the other school thinks they are using a 76 monza. but in fact they acctually are using the 94 z. this is random, but i just thought it was cool. the car doesnt have a motor or trans. but it would be cool if they put a lt-1 based motor in it. like a 396 lt1 or something. idk

I saw that, it will be interesting to see what they do with the Camaro. The kids with the young teacher egging the other school and then getting bitched at was funny.
