i missed it!!!!! what time does it come on tomorrow?

gmc67swb · 02-05-2005, 03:35 PM

Needs to learn to drive....No rear wheel numbers.....No times.....No nitrous....He'll probably get his a$$ handed to him if tries to take off like that when he races! Nice truck, but disappointed in the show. I would love to have seen some 1/4 times or maybe some dyno numbers.

I just watched this episode about an hour ago and it rocked!

Dean23 · 02-05-2005, 04:52 PM

Wow what a truck. man can it boil those hides though. Its a bout time its on the road. Makes me wanna get at mine. that engine sound wicked with the open headers. too bad they had the guitar music playin. I would have just loved to listen to the mighty rumble of that 572

I'd luv to flog that thing for 250 miles like he got too

Joe67 · 02-05-2005, 05:02 PM

I saw it this afternoon, beautiful truck! That thing needs to be a bit lower IMO.
I see on the website is only a 4" drop, take it down another 2"

70c10swb · 02-05-2005, 06:20 PM

one thing that bothered me though was the gap between the hood and fender, anyone notice that??

how big is stacey? he seems cramped in that cab

Dean23 · 02-05-2005, 06:54 PM

I agree he looked kinda cramped in there. maybe the shifter is poorly positioned and he needs to sit further forward or somethin like that

sactoC10 · 02-05-2005, 07:32 PM

Missed it too, good lookin' out though! Have to see it tomorrow. Hmmm... copperhead, then the superbowl...not a bad afternoon of TV!

724wdcopper · 02-05-2005, 07:52 PM

i was wonderin if anyone else saw the hood-fender gap. guess that's waht you get working with aftermarket parts

Dragginazzon22s · 02-05-2005, 10:05 PM

ok... so he plummed enough nitrous to blow rhode island up. where was it? i didnt see it once. that fool was so proud of the hidden stage on there. all im saying is hit that s__t!!!

dropdprpls10 · 02-05-2005, 10:36 PM

with a 300 foot burn out without the nitrous i think he proved his point.. lol!! and i like the way he just spins it into the grass a few times too!!!!!

Dean23 · 02-05-2005, 10:41 PM

Who cares if he didnt use nos. Why dont we just all say ya its a nice truck. smokin the hides for 300 feet is remarkable...so with nos he could go for 400.
ITs a nice truck and the engine is strong enough on it s own. maybe the NOS
is just There for SH*ts and gigles, or maybe just on the track when he finally
takes it there. most of us could only dram of driving a machine like that. But when a nice vehicle comes along there are always people who will nit pick the smallest detail so they can hide their own jealousy about how it looks or performs......... just my 2 cents

at the end he only had 250 miles on it and i wouldnt do that to a motor that young either

Dragginazzon22s · 02-06-2005, 02:54 AM

i didnt say that it was not a cool truck. it is. but some of the stuff they did on it was silly or over kill. like the time they took to finish it. holy crap. you dont need a 500 shot of nitrous on top of a 572. anyone knows with that big of motor in a truck you will have traction problems. but it is true there is always something different that everyone would do. i would have voted to lay that beast on the ground.

**Boog** · 02-06-2005, 08:52 AM

Wonder how many times they had to stop for gas in those 250 miles? LOL

tphsmith · 02-06-2005, 09:00 AM

I agree with you grease

My wife thinks the same thing. I made her watch this episode just for the truck though. Now she wants me to get that engine. Too bad it's going to be about 50 years before I'll have enough dough

70c10swb · 02-06-2005, 01:48 PM

i cant wait to see it again today it was like a dream

Dean23 · 02-06-2005, 01:50 PM

Copperhead may have taken along time, but how many of our retorations/modifications take years to do. Sue there is sponsorship and more money involved. but work can only be done so fast. I wish i could have my 68 done in a little over a year and have itlook like that
