Is my memory really that bad???

Saw the same show and thought the same thing about the 16 sec time @ 88 MPH. My Daughter's Honda Civic will make runs faster than that.
The clincher was the alleged $40,000 loss between what he claimed he put into it ($100,000) v. what it sold for @ auction ($60,000). What kind of business model is that?
Also, not to nitpick, but when they started the project they quickly realized it was a rusty shell. Why they virtually rebuilt the car is beyond me, especially when the only unique thing about it was the supposed color delete on the info tag on the firewall. Now, if that particular Camaro was the one in which you had your first Male-Female Experience, so to speak, MAYBE I could see putting some money into it to restore it, but not $100,000.00
The guy doing the resto didn't even seem to have any emotional attachment to the car, from what I saw.
Just My Humble Opinion.
