Rant: Horsepower/muscle car tv shows

BigWhip said

It looks like Horsepower tv show had done what was designed to do.

Its entertainment.

They are not the "all knowing gods" of all things motor sports. They are
people showing what they have done and what is possible. Yes they get
things wrong and yes they build things different than you. Who here hasn't
messed something up or made a mistake? ( remember that first wife, possibly the second? )

Offer suggestions for the show. Be proactive.

Or you could be watching Rachel Ray in that time slot.

Sorry Whip but I got to respectfully disagree. TV shows like this have a big advantage over everyone that watches, they can shoot retakes. When they screwed up so bad that they had to find a cast crank they could have fixed the problem and retaken the shot. When they dyno tested the engine and it was obvious that something was wrong (and if it wasn't obvious then they should be shot with a you know what) then they should have found out the reason why. Myself and most people on this forum wouldn't slap something together, saw that something was wrong then just walk away. It's the screw ups that people are remembered for, maybe that's not right, it's just the way it is. But in difference I guess I could offer a suggestion for the TV people, "stick with Chevy 350's they're kind of like BIC disposable lighters".
