I would like to take this time and thank Comcast Cable in Montgomery County Maryland for NOT carrying the Speedchannel.

Drat. Missed it. That's what I get for working tonight and not reading the board for a day. You snooze you lose. Sounds like it was a very good show.

Excellent show, great historical on the super sport name, what it means and how it has evolved over the years. I enjoyed it. didn't learn anyhting new but fun to watch, especially the figure eights and burnouts in the Berger cars!

Greg, Bob,
I got about the last 20 minutes, at least that's the Camaro part! I can burn it onto CD's or DVD's for you no problem.

Good show! Should have been required viewing by all GM Exec's, as they have obviously lost track of what the "SS" badge stands for. I totally disagree with the use of this "mark" on the Impala and Monty. No front wheel drive crap for me, thank you. I might go along with its use on the Cobalt, IF it were faster than the WRX STI.

I missed all but the last 15 mins of it! Grrrrr! TiVo had it listed as Autorotica instead of American Muscle Car so it wasn't picked up to be recorded. The last 15 mins was awesome. Guess I will have to wait for a future replay to see the whole thing.

Speed had it listed as Autorotica, so if you do a search, you'll find it again. It will most likely repeat throughout the week.

Then New Monte Carlo SS and Impala SS are quicker, and better handling then a lot of the vehicles GM has put the SS badge on over the years. There's nothing like beating a 3rd Generation Corvette in one of those POS FWD Monte Carlo SS's Posts: 12 | From: Syracuse and Hays, Ks | Registered: Oct 2003
