Just letting those that may not regularly watch the show to catch it on Spike today/tomorrow - They're doing work on a 92 Camaro.

I just watched it; had it recorded...

It was ok, it was basically a bone stock '92 RS with 305 TBI - They were trying to get more MPGs out of it. Kinda funny - The engine made something like ~140hp to the wheels. They got it up about 9hp or so by the end; but spent $600 doing it.

It sounds like a project that will appear again, but I highly doubt it'll be much more than a car that they try to get MPGs out of, not really anything performance.

Just found this online too, never saw it before:

I'm sure this new one will be online, too.

If I'm not mistaken its a rerun. Didn't watch this morning cause I had to work but I recognized the title of the episode.

It was a rerun. They did that project a year or so ago.

Well he had 85-90 ground effects, 85-90 front bumper and a 91-92 high rise spoiler. He was all over the place, it didn't even look like an 82
