Just caught the 2nd half of the show..... a little disappointed that they didn't get any real numbers from the project. The host was just doing burnouts....and taking it around the track.

I didn't catch the dyno, what did the STS make? They stated 600 hp, but was that at the crank or at the rear wheels....

A little on an "uninformed technical" kind of show. And didn't hear any numbers either other than it making 600 hp???

Exactly, I would put the paint, hood and wheels back to stock and have a beautiful sleeper.

Well so much for them patting themselves on the back for that. Some may like it though.

Steve Ray did the paint.

It's not for me but it's well done.
