In all fairness the F-150 guys were probably doing it to make up for the "camera" incident that made them out to be pr**ks.

It does suck the Charger is gone but if I can't see why the Olds guys would let the Charger guys run again. It's a competition and now that it's only 4 left, nobody should be getting any second chances.

Just my .02

I think the F150 guys got a good chance of winning! That be sweet if a truck beat all those cars, a Ford too!

As soon as I knew that charger had a 800 cfm carb on it I knew that it would screw up in a rev up-slow down-rev up;slow down environment like the parkade track.

Throwing that much fuel in a constant start and stop situation was will bog an engine down.
They could have run this whole race with a 650 cfm no problem.

I kept laughing everytime I heard the brothers say they didn't have any brakes...

The car stopped fine in the parkade.

I know. That car was working fine. I liked how they were complaining about scratching their knuckles while working on the car. I mean, come on! I was amazed at how well both the Olds and F150 did on the challenge. Those are not the two best handling vehicles in the world and they seemed to drive the wheels of them.

Unless something really unexpected happens, Pontiac will win.

Ford usually mess up on challenges.

I think it'll be the Trans Am, F150, and then Olds (in that order).
