bkhpah couldn't have said it better -- the Supercar episode was good but fell short of great. I hesitated earlier to say anything, seeing as how I'm no great authority myself, but they should've checked their facts better. For example, they said SS 350 were used as base cars by Yenko in 1967. I thought Yenko used SS 396/375 L78 cars whereas Nickey and Dana were starting with SS 350 cars. Then, when they started explaining the COPO program, they showed a 68 Dana, which isn't a COPO car. It looks like their data might've come from vintage magazine articles and archive photos/footage. They should've asked the guys here instead. Heck, they could've shot the whole episode at Kevin's house.

That said, it looks like we'll be hauling 5-6 cars to the reunion that would not otherwise have gone from the NW. Can't complain about that.

Finally, and most importantly, the show did raise awareness and appreciation of the cars. My 3 teenage kids -- who normally couldn't care less about the hobby -- all watched the show, learned a lot, asked good questions, and seemed genuinely interested. And that, my aging friends, is what it's about!
