No he didn't.
Actually it was 98% muscle cars and only 2% imports. Kinda disapointing.

Hey, I like muscle cars. In fact, the RX is the only "import" that I do like.

I didn't get to go. I have a week long vacation coming up next this weekend, and I did not get the car ready for what it needed.

The main delay was the rear end - The gears are shot (improperly installed),
and I need to get it rebuilt.
I also still needed to install:

Line Lock
New Safety Harness (Seat Belts)
Slicks
Skinnies
Bigger Turbo
More Boost
New Boost Controller
New Tune (for More boost)
Remove most of the interior
Remove the A/C and all components
Generally go for some weight reduction.
Not to mention a couple of full days of practice at launching the car hard.

That was my list, among other things. Since I couldn't get the rear done in time, I just decided to pass on the whole thing. Besides, there was no way my car is going to run low Flat 10's (what they wanted on the show) in it's current condition without doing the above. Also, I didn't want to put the "New" half bridge setup in for a race either, as I spent too much on it already.

I'll race it some other time, when it is ready, and I will make a good High Quality video to go along with it too

That's a brand new limited modified and then some. I would never be able to afford that.
