      That was funny as hell to me. You guys have all the fun along with team Chevy.

      I am still rooting for the Charger and Olds.

      I keep going to bed on Tuesdays and dreaming about being in Bullrun myself. This show is very addicting.
      Team F150 said that they filmed the Honda for speeding not the Lotus. What the heck is the difference if both passed team F150 right behind one another. Ditto for Charger & Olds.

      I thought the same thing. Either that or he just really hated Paris.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      I'm thinking that the 80 mph limit is with 5mph or 10mph over the posted speed limit. Most Officiers don't consider this as speeding.

      I'm not sure what the speed limit is out there, but I was thinking that too. The F-150 guys filmed the Lotus and Civic speeding and then they show their speedo at 80mph. Most places I've ever been that's speeding. Maybe the show had their own limit like some others have said.

      I was nervous watching the end of that show when it was down to the charger and chevy. I like both those teams but the charger is such a bad ass car I was glad to see you guys not get kicked.

      I have been wondering when we were going to see the F150 crash through the wall as it's been in a few highlight pre/post show things. When I saw the challenge I couldn't believe it! What a jackass.

      Give this man a cigar! You nailed it. Actually we had to stick to only 5mph over the limit and we could go up to 10mph over to pass, but that was it.

      We had no cruise control and our speedo was completely off due to the last minute rear end swap. We had to guess our speed since it was more innacurate the faster we went. Unfortunately the camera crew following us often corrected us on the slow side, we confirmed this when riding along side some of the newer cars with calibrated speedometers.

      That sucks!! I hate having a speedo that is off. My old stock one would do the a bouncing over a 50 mph band anytime I went over 45. That sucked.

      I totally understand the speed limit / penalty thing on the show. However, a 10 MPH limit for passing purposes just won't do!

      Man we prepared the olds to do 180+mph, I spoke to 3 automotive aerodynamicists and did plenty of reasearch myself to get this Hurst "missle" stable at ultra high speeds. So believe me we too were disappointed...man would it have gotten crazy if there was no speed limit, I was hoping to get at least one balls out run against the Lambo. We had the car tuned for mid to high RPM power, my brother took the car upto 160+ "testing" before we left and she was still pulling and that was with BFG Comp T/A tires on 15" Cutlass rims, and without the laughing gas so she was ready and willing.

      man, thats too bad.........would have been a hell of a lot more fun to see than those cheesy "challenges" which just wreck peoples cars.


      ah well, cant complain too much, atleast they have a cool show with nice rides for us to watch, better than another reality gameshow.

      A showdown between you guys and Team Lambo would have been totally cool!!!

      Well, Team Honda got bounced as I thought that they eventually would. I hate to say this, but I was not entirely disappointed with that. Particularly in the last few episodes, those guys had absolutely terrible attitudes! At times, they did not get along well with each other!

      Team Lotus is the only import left in Bullrun at this point in time. I may be wrong, but I look for those guys to go next week.....

      Oh, one more thing. I noticed that Team Charger handled their gasoline situation much better in last night's show than they did in previous weeks.

      Also, Morgan from Team Trans Am was absolutely hilarious in the scene where she got pulled over by the cop. The air in that Trans Am turned several shades of blue after that cop left....LOL

      I'm glad to see all the muscle cars still hanging in, and Team Charger is now in 2nd!! I'm very happy to see that. The road the Olds and the Charger went down looked like it was pretty nuts, was it as bad as it looked on TV? It's tough to say who's going out from now on. I'd like to see the truck or the Lotus go next.

      Let the fun begin!

      I was wondering too, was that road as bad as it looked, and as ruff?

      And another great driving by the Charger in the challenge. You guys were the only ones to miss 30 or more..
