Thanks for the tip.  Hope I remember to watch it.

I am beginning to strongly dislike those two characters that do the muscle
evaluations on Speed.
Those bozos always pick an AMC car that appears to be a hot setup, but they
always manage to
somehow downgrade the performance of it. Like for example the green AMX they
compared to
some other muscle cars, stopped poorly because the driver let it skew to the
side, but he easily
managed to keep all the GM cars straight. It wouldn't burn out to his
satisfaction but he launched
it very poorly in my opinion and then he said the 390 didn't have much
torque? What the heck is
that? To top it all off the two dipsticks made some derogatory comment about
how AMC wasn't
up to the other manufacturers when it came to performance and then the guy
had the nerve to imply
that the only reason Penske/Donohue won the 71 Trans AM series Championship
was because the
other manufacturers pulled their factory support. It has always been my
contention that the other
factories saw the writing on the wall and chickened out of the 71 series
because they knew that AMC
had it in the bag already and the other manufacturers wanted to down play
AMC's achievement.
That's just my opinion, what do the rest of you guys think.
