I can already tell it's the wrong people driving that car. So they have a 2002 with $60,000 of full exhaust, "ls6 intake", ls6 Lingenfelter heads, and suspension. Where the hell did the other $48,000 go? I was really excited to see this show because I thought I saw a 98-02 T/A in the previews, but now I'm having second thoughts.
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.

Guys anybody could send in a video. I did and made it to the final cut. Me and My teammate were overqualified for this group it would be an unfair advantge. I race in the CANNONBALL ONE LAP OF AMERICA>Gives me a large heads up on the over the road end. I never thought I would here that. But such is life. After watching the previews I might not of like destroying/damaging the car from where Im sitting now.
Damm Just found out I cant do AMAZING RACE because my wife is a travel agent. AHHHHHHHHH
