The show did not get alot of the information about the car right, this is why i have been chasing down every thread to tryn straighten out the fast. I love these cars so much that i would prolly be mad too if i had read all the false info. I built that car so that why i am tryn to fix all this......but people are so negative torwards it is outta control.....this is a big event for the F-Body, its the cars chance to shine against everything else. Those #'s are w/o N2O......and they car hasnt been sprayed yet at all....its was just there incase it was gonna be needed. I know there are a TON of faster FBodys out there, but this one made the call.......and really man i know we all know how much this "life" can cost and i know 60k is alot....and maybe thats not what he has in it, but maybe he does. I'll never know that answer but it really doesnt matter at all. All im looking for is support from one of the biggest and baddest communitys out there. Were all here for the same things, and i apologize for some of the comments that have been upsetting people..... you all know what is correct and what isnt. Anyways i hope watching the show will change peoples minds and perspectives.....He (Mike Alsop) is one helluva cool dude and a killer boss to work for, he the type that always has your back and will definately take car of his employees. I know he brought me here from Hawaii and covered all the expenses for me and my TA to get here. Enjoy the show!!!

Instead of hating just be happy that an F-Body is actually getting represented somewhere mainstream and people will know the amazing power the cars have.

Edit: After reading all the specs on what's done to the car, I'm pretty pissed. 150 shot of nitrous and it's only making 486HP and 400tq? WTF! I had a 150 shot on my car with the mods below and I made 396rwhp and 515RWTQ on a Mustang dyno! Lies, lies, lies. These two are going to make the F-body look bad...Michael Jackson bad.
Here is a list of the "mods" done to the engine,
"LS6 Intake Manifold; 90mm throttle body; 42lb SVO injectors; FLP ceramic coated long tube headers; Flowmaster cat back exhaust; ARP pushrods; Lingenfelter Ls6 cc'd, ported, polished, aluminum heads; K-Motion valve springs; stainless steel valves (sodium filled exhaust for better cooling); roller 1.7 aluminum rocker arms; ARP connecting rod bolts; 160 degree thermostat; custom LS1 edit Dyno Tuning; General Motors LS hotcam; hydraulic roller lifters; 4L60e transmission; 4200 "yank" torque converter; 150 shot nitrous oxide injection system. "
Oh and here is the "suspension"
"Qa1 24 way adjustable shocks front and rear; Crome Molly tubular upper and lower control arms front; Eibach springs; carbon fiber rear control arms; larger diamter front and rear sway bars."
And the brakes,
"Baer cross drilled rotors front and rear; ceramic brake pads; 3:42 limited slip rear end; double diamond frame stiffeners; brass/neoprene bushing's suspension; MTI airbox; Goodyear F1 tires."
I guess people are using MTI lids for braking now. What the hell was I thinking putting it on the intake of my car?
So I guess they bought a 90mm ls6 intake to match the TB? Why the **** waste the money on it when a FAST intake would blow it away for probably a few hundred more. Oh and look, a FLOWMASTER catback! Oh they have a cam too, hmm there are quite a few cars on here with just h/c making 430rwhp with NO N2O.
I'm seriously pissed off here. Give me $25,000 and I could make my car beat the living **** out of "Team 9" car.

I started watching right before this challenge they just did and so far this show sucks hard. The guy with the TA called the trans am the best car gm has ever built, yeah right. The dumbass also said his car had a four sixty LE transmission.
The challenge was ******* retarded "lets strap poles to your car with spikes on em' and smash light bulbs to show which car has the best suspension."????
Also watching them just cruising around to the next challenge I havent seen anything remotely exciting, and I know most of us on here wouldnt even be watching this show if there wasnt a TA in it. We all already know how shitty spikes car shows are from their stupid saturday morning powerblock shows.

Its would be great to have a high powered T/A, something in the range of 600hp. But who cares i think the T/A just got to the checkpoint first. I think the show is whatever just want the T/A to win since it is a T/A.

**Well **** i just saw they got 5th place, not bad but **** they are driving a TRANS AM. If they stuck me on a show like that i would think...Smokey and the Bandit, and have a complete lack of respect for the law. So the team with the TA needs to put the whole family bonding **** aside and just go WOT.

The show ended up being ok, hopefully when there starts to be less teams they will get a little more indepth, show some better rallying, and actually have cooler challenges like drag racing, road courses, off road courses, and some arrests/pursuits would be great, it's just awesome that there is finally a 4th gen ls1 fbody being represented on TV
