Last night I caught the "Full Throttle" show on the History channel, which
is similar to the "Great Biker Build-Off" type of show. They played it up as
a big "Chevy vs Ford" challenge.

They took an early '70s El Camino and Ranchero with no engines, and built
them for the big race.

They had a 383ci 450 HP Chevy engine, and the Ford had a 400ci 400 HP.

And....the Chevy had positraction, and the Ford didn't!!

The "plan" was that the Ford would catch & pass the Chevy at mid-track
(BS!!.....apparently never heard of all the ET being made in the first
60'!!)).

Well, guess what?? The Chevy walked away from the Ford on the line and won
the races!!!!!  DUH!!

What a load of crap!!
