    Watching an episode tonight and I can't help but think these guys are nothing but actors. 65 Mustang they put a blown 331 in that should be "650 to 700 horsepower at the wheels" and they backed it with an 8" rear. Still better than most of the garbage on TV though.

    By the end of the show it was a 347! AC and a blower, he says he doesn't know if it's ever been done before....only thousands of times. Maybe the Voice is better than this!

    Haven't watch this show yet. Just the fact that the promo picture shows that he took the jacket off and still is wearing the rest of a three piece suit (who wears THAT anymore?) was enough to show there was something wrong.
    Still, probably better than The Fat and The Furious.

    I prefer that over FNL because they focus more on the builds and not stupid drama and infighting.

    Ok, I just finished watching the show....... IMHO It’s just as lame as the rest of them. It’s a car show for people who know nothing about cars.

    Only place to see good car shows. I personally only watch the originals and avoid the crap they aquired with the TV network. Wheeler Dealers would be an exception to that.

    Drift This is pretty fun to watch. One of the main guys grew up near where I live now so that connection is pretty cool.

    Couldn't get into that one but only watched the UPS truck episode. I really enjoy Engine Masters, some good "scientific" info there! It's like Myth Busters for car guys.

    Haven't watched too many but it is interesting to me. I liked exploring the local yards before they cleared out all the old cars so it hits home a bit.
