Here...here. Besides, the guy needs to do some work occasionally to be taken even remotely seriously. Seems every time there's work to be done he's at a body shop "observing".

I think all you guys are just haters cause there not doing your cars. I found the 373HP SRT4 they did to be impressive. I do admit some of the guys get a bit riced up, but i think all in all its a good show.

No, I find them extremely annoying and most of the cars come out looking worse than they did when they went in.
If they got rid of the bodywork guy (Johny B or whatever his name is) it could have some potential.

The only thing "johny B" does well is put rims on the car. What are you guys expecting from a half hour show in its first season?

One thing that I fail to understand is whether the owners are actually paying for the modifications to be made or are they allowing their cars to be ginny-pigs and having the sponsors pay for the upgrades.

The SRT was well done (minus the Wings West wing). However, I'd have to give credit to APR who developed the turbo upgrade (and not those idiots running the shop. The KW Suspension system was also a nice addition.

The Cadillac was well...Let's just say it wasn't my style...

The 240SX was terrible. Nice motor but the bodywork was horrible. The fit of those body panels was bad and the fact that they sprayed expanding foam between the steel panels... I'd hate to see that car in 5 years. POS...

Overall, the show is poor... first year or not.

Sports Car Revolution's Acura segment, was well done. At least they took the time to explain each of the upgrades (although I did have an issue with some of them). They said they hit over 1G on the skid pad after the suspension work... Thats awesome.
