SPIKE TV Horsepower
« on: September 01, 2007 - 10:22:22 AM »
Has anyone seen the 70 Challenger they named "Overkill"  on SPIKE TV's Horsepower?  Are they planning to give that car away?

I've seen a couple episodes while it was in the process. Is it finished now? I don't know what their plans are for it.

actually, it was Musclecar.  I don't think they're planning on giving it away...

I just hate some of the mods on that car....   Like the way they "fixed" the kink in the front longitudinals  :pullinghair:.  It's one of the original Stunt cars in the Fast and the Furious 2 so who's suprised it got jumped

If mine looked that bad I would have replaced the whole front or parted it out.  Lots of sloppy work on that car IMO

I have seen a couple of episodes. One I was especially interested in was where they sent the trims out to be repaired. I wasn't able to get the name and phone number of the place. Anyone able to get the info? Thanx

I think their season has ended, the shows appear to be all reruns now. The challenger was maybe 70% complete in the episode with the trim work. They've never said what they will do with the car.
