At first, I was hoping that someone would post a link to this show. After reading about the "Entertainment" described in this thread, maybe it's better ya don't. Sounds like this is right up there with Fast 5.
Keep in mind!
The 67 Mustang fastback's value went through the roof because of Bullet and Gone in 60 Seconds #2. (Can you say Eleanor?)
Even a 17 second Trans Am can be valued off the charts as a "Legendary Performance Car", if Bert Reynolds looks good in it.
At some point in time, we must ask ourselves. Do we really want the publicity? Personally, I think it is kinda cool, being an affordable, low profile, off-shoot of a Regal, that many people (suckers) haven't heard about. I like flying under the mainstream radar. This is one reason our Kill Section is lined with stories of six figure exotic owners, scratching their heads, as to what went wrong
.
Historically speaking, look at some of the other cars that have held the title as America's Quickest production cars. When was the last time you saw a Hemi Cuda, or a 70 454 Chevelle at a stop light? They get six figures for them now. People have either sold them, or can't afford to drive them. Part of me wants to see the recognition that these cars deserve, and the other part wants to say " What!, It's ONLY a V6"...
I know that these cars are destined for much more greatness than they have now. Let's just try not to tell anyone about it.
