Just got finished watching a show on Speed Channel about Novas..Boy do these guys have a lot of homework left to do!!
Couldn't believe the number of technical things regarding engines, horsepower, etc. that were presented incorrectly. I think it was cool to see the lowly Nova get some recognition but at least they could have got the facts straight. Maybe SYC should consult on their shows to help get the facts correct. They kept showing a red deuce going down the 1/4 mile...looks like someones car from the site???

Striving to be politically, "Nova" correct...

You know, I have had the same observation about the Barrett-
Jackson auctions and their lack of technical knowledge.
The on-air staff seem to always be asking the same
questions about SMOG systems, JL-8, stating that "this 69
Z/28 came with the cross-ram setup from the factory", bla-
bla-bla....... I had actually written BJ about bringing in
some experts from sites like this to be technical advisors
of sorts during the broadcasts. With all the high-5ing
going on between Craig and his minions ( during the
auctions ), you would think they could afford to bring in
some outside talent to advise on COPO, ZL-1, Z/28, L/78,
L/89, day-two cars, etc.. And that's just Chebbies.. The
Old's & Pontiac guys have their experts too. Of yes, the
Ford guys too.....

Come-on Craig! Part with some of that green stuff and
educate the viewers...........
