Muscle car shootout on TV.....

[PPPJJJFFF]

Braking and slalom. Boy, strap yourself in for those 2 events. It was still entertaining to say the least! The Goat did prove to be the best prepared dealer modified car.

Did you take notice of him Power Shifting a few of the cars?
I do it with my cars, but I would never do that with another owners Car.
One Miss @ 7000 RPM….. Whoops…………
There’s one phone call I would not like to make…

Did you see the 5 seconds they devoted to mentioning that they blew up one car's engine prior to the event and had to get a stand-in. They even showed the oil on the ground pouring out of the block. Anyone have any gossip on that????

Keith I second the motion,slicks and open headers,
How can you compare a motion car that was built for
10s to do the quater on red lines.And who gives Fiddlers
Fuddle duddle if the car stops on a dime.These cars were built to race the quarter mile not for roundi round oval tracks.
If your going to do a shoot out of classic muscle cars
then do them justice.

Was that Kevin Suydams Red Yenko Nova??? They said that car was a fresh restoration. If thats the car Kevin S. has, was it re-restored? and why? I thought it was pretty nice before. But I see the car on the show had all the SS stuff on it. Kevin's car didn't.. Just curious who knows more about that car. I know that's his yellow 69 Baldwin Motion Camaro. Who owns the other cars on that program?
Only problem I have with that show is it needed to be 6 hours long.. 1 hour for each car

[Mr Yenko]

Spoke with Kevin last night. Asked him how clean the cars came back. He said they still needed to be spruced up a bit more. They also sent him new tires still wrapped in plastic. He said he didn't know the results to the shoot out. I told him to give me a call when he was back in town.
THANKS...KEVIN

Do you think they'll show this episode again?

Hi everyone,
I thought the Shootout was a fine show. We all know the Yenkos could have run better. The Goat ran even better then when it was new and looked great doing it. The Superbee ran fine and I know first hand those 440 six packs haul butt. I don't know much about the Shelby except I always like that bodystyle and the color of that one was cool. I must say I liked the the Hurst SC/Rambler the most!!! This little Underdog showed that it did run with the Big Boys and they told you if you tweeked it a little it would really fly. I know this to be true as I own a SC that is running the Cross-Ram intake. My SC was running the 1/4 in 12.61 back in the day. Maybe this was not as fast as a Yenko but it was faster then most for a lot less money. I was just honored that the Hurst SC/Rambler was included in this show. They have been overlooked as one of the best muscle cars ever built for to long. AMC even told you in their original ads that with a little sharp tunning you would be running 12's. Not bad for a car that cost under $3,000.00.
It was a fun show as it was ment to be. I know it was better then watching a show about Tunner cars . To me this show was great and I didn't care which car won.They were all winners just by being on the show. A big thank you to all the owners that let them use their cars.
See my SC at,

PS: I can't believe it but I'm going to the Barrett Jackson auction this year. I'm just going to see the cars as they should be great.

I will also get to see the B-scheme Hurst SC/Rambler go through the auction block, COOL !!!!!!!!!!
