Wow that was a great show! I never knew the whole car was totaly custom...full carbon body & all the parts machined and fabbed at Pratt & Miller...very cool. It even transmits all the engine data back to the pits so they can monitor the car

Saw a bit of the show - it was entertaining...

...but not nearly as entertaining as watching the speedometer race towards triple digits with the LS7 singing at 7000 RPM in your ears...

Was it on "Rides" or one of those shows on TLC? I can't believe I missed it. I was complaining to a friend the other day how I have 100 channels of nothing....then I miss this

Yep, it was on Rides. Keep checking TLC's program schedule - they repeat those shows periodically. I've seen the one about Jay Leno's Olds Toranado several times.

IMO that is one of the better shows on, along with OverHaulin. Better than 99% of the absolute **** on SPEED.

ill second that one, i saw them dominate at Infinion race way.


I thought the show was a gave really good insite into what it takes to run enduro's.

I have never been apart of an enduro of that level, but on lesser levels i have, and that shows pretty much sums it up.

I believe Top Gear is on at 10 Eastern time. I seen the Corvettes at the American Lemans at Mid Ohio they are impressive to say the least. I think the Caddy CTS-V's sound and look meaner, but are not as fast.
