I wish they'd stop saying its 350 horse, its definitely not getting anywhere close to that with TPI on it.

Yeah, and they can't make up their mind on whether the TREMEC they are putting in is 6 speed or 5 speed ....but the paint job looks interesting.

Yea, I didn't watch but I'll bet they showed a lot of grinding/welding with some cool background music.

. It seems they needed to do a little more research. All in all it was a good watch!

Did you see the part where the guy is buttoning up the intake stuff and the Narrator goes...

They are not in my Summit catalog, and Google is a relative unknown, so I can't blame them.

I got a kick out of the "upgrade" to the 91 up bumpers but they left the early gills and door strips on it.It was good to see a C4 on the show though.

the next time they do a C4, they should ask us first...

I love the chrome runners and stuff... but they are NOT going to add power. Stock base, and the chromed plenum hasn't been touched at all.

What a joke.

I love all the hyperbole... but that's all it is.

Good to see a program like this once in awhile. Can't remember the last one like it.

Whats wrong with the updated front bumper? I thought about putting one on my '85, but I wouldnt change anything else on the body. I love the gills and the round tail lights as they have an old school look to them.

Unfortunately I dont have the Speed channel so I dont get to watch. Reusing the stock intake/fuel setup on an engine rebuild is going to be a handicap.

I get the feeling it has the same level of technical impact as did the Dream Car Garage/MAD commercial last year... NONE.

It makes the C4 look useless.
