I don't think this show will be around long. The show seemed to be a duplicate of an old show called THE PRETENDER. Same storyline, Guy knows everything except for his family and where he came from. So much for original shows this fall.

Who's kit is it. Will our buddy C.S. file a grievance with the court because the car has Shelby Cobra badges that are clearly visable? Hmmm

From the rollbar shape and height... my guess is a Superformance. Pretty wild driving in in the show.

Talking

It was kind of funny. In the scene where he keep stalling the car, he says something like: "accelerate into the corner, cut the apex, and accelarate out." And then he doesn't take any corners at all! (Besides, what you really do is brake as late as possible, balance the throttle, then accelarate out

Still, it was fun to see. Looks like it was a green one. Cool!

Then there was the cobra on Fastlane that was stolen. Silver and black. I'm beginning to see my friends point "Everybody has a Cobra!"

I agree with Kobrakurt, it had VERY crummy wheels! Other than that it looked pretty good. I thought that the movie was okay (probably because I never saw the pretender)As a rule I only watch non-commercial movies.
Thanks,
Ron FFR1738
