Jesse James is a Dead Man

I guess this is on topic. Did anybody catch the show last night? The premise was to outrun the cops as real as possible. He added nitrous and some low profile performance tires too a 35th. Anniversary Camaro. You can view the whole episode here... http://www.spike.com/show/30898

Besides running the car off road and through a golf course the rest seemed too scripted. Your thoughts?

Re: Jesse James is a Dead Man

That was pretty cool, Can't kill an LS1 haha. Cops have almost unlimited resources so its almost impossible to run from them. Shoot the heli down and you'll be fine haha

No way, the car looked and sounded bone stock when he drove it in and the only mods the talked about were safety equipment, tires and nitrous. Some think it might have been cammed based on split second you could hear the car when he met the cops but even then it still wouldn't be close to 800hp.

Anyway the show had way too much fake drama. Every other line from the cops was "He's gonna kill someone!!!". There wasn't anyone in that ghost town aside from that one guy at the golf course and I would bet that he was probably with the show.
