HorsePower TV is holding a contest to make over your car.
You send them a brief discription of your car and why they should pick it. Bascially you ship your car to them adn let them do whatever they want with it. And who says they won't pick a GA? After all they did have that pethetic little Honda project car they put a nitrous system in and a aluminum spoiler. :lol:
Check it out.

I saw that too. Bunny because Motor Trend praises the GTO even said that 'the interior rivals those found in BMW', but Car & Driver said 'it's less medoicre'. Car & Driver also could only muster a 14.0 in the quarter mile from the GTO where Motor Trend yanked consistant 13.6s out of it.

Maybe it's just me but I personally don't like either of these publications. IIRC I've only purchased two of them in the last few years. One with the GTO on the cover, the other for the artical on the new C6. I like reading magazines that will show how to rebuild a transmission or a artical on timing and ignition. Not a 2 dementional test drive full of the bias opinions of a few snobs.

Try again.
1. Yes, you are responsible for transporting your vehicle to Nashville.
2. Yes, you are responsible for bringing it back.

but you do not have to pay for what they do to it. That is a ludicros idea, they are not going to make you pay for whatever they do to your car. You don't even know what they are doing to your car until you pick it up. So... "Trust Me. I looked all this up..."

I agree, thats the whole point of the contest.
A popular national TV show isn't going to hold a contest only to hijinks you into paying for it in the long run.
