WOW, holy crap on Fear Factor

I just saw a quick preview, but it sure looked like a yellow third gen TA was destroyed for some stunt on Fear Factor. That sucks.

They have destroyed several Camaros both third and second gen...let's just say my thoughts on the Fear Factor production staff are not appropriate for print.

The wife started watching the show and got me hooked on watching it also. I have seen them trash several firebirds and camaros both second and third gen models. There was one episode where they demolished a couple of first gen camaros.

I hope the 3rd gen becomes SO F-ING VALUABLE in the future that those a-holes that destroyed them regrets it for the rest of their life.

There are a couple of ways to look at this, the f body is a good sized virtually all steel car wich had very good crash stats in the day. It also handled pretty good and plenty were made.So if I was a stunt co ordinator this car would be a good choice for stunts seeing that it would offer good protection for the occupants performing these tasks (much better than a fox body mushtang would do). The other plus I see is that more junker type thirdgens ae being eliminated, bringing down the number of 3rd gens on the road.

Just saw a badass red T-top IROC hawling some major ace around corners on some tv show called "Simon and Simon". Looked like a detective type show.
