    SPEED CHANNEL Presents DREAM CAR GARAGE MUSCLE CAR SHOOTOUT

    This Wednesday at 9pm ET/ 10pm PT, SPEED Channel and Dream Car Garage bring you a classic shootout featuring seven of the most treasured production muscle cars from the late sixties and early seventies. The one hour special allows muscle cars from each of the major manufacturers to battle against each other, renewing some timeless rivalries. The competitors include:

    1970 Buick GS 455 Stage I :3gears:
    1969 Hurst Oldsmobile 442
    1970 LS6 Chevelle SS
    1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429
    1970 Dodge Hemi Challenger
    1969 Pontiac GTO Judge
    1969 AMX 390 Go Package


    Performance will depend on the manufacturers differences as each muscle car will use the same fuel and the same brake materials as well as run on the same brand tires.

    Points will be awarded to each muscle car based on the best of three runs, seven points for the fastest time down to one point for the slowest time. The Muscle Car Shootout will test:

    0-60 mph acceleration
    Standing mile
    0-100-0 mph breaking test
    Slalom handling test
    Burn out contest

    Muscle Car Shootout debuts Wednesday, August 11 at 9pm ET / 10pm PT.

    EEE Straight out of lo-cash!

    Time for a cable investment it seems like. Sounds like something to get the beer and chips out for. I'd like to hear how it goes, please give us with seven fuzzy channels an update when it's been on.

    Way to throw a stripper LS-6 in there against a convertable Stage 1. Nothing like stacking the odds to guarentee a Chebby win. :rant:
