(ANNOUNCER)>> TODAY ON A
SPECIAL DETROIT MUSCLE WE PAYOFF OUR POWERSTOP
GIVEAWAY CHALLENGER IN THE MOST SPECTACULAR WAYS. YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS!
(MARC)>> OUR POWERSTOP CHALLENGER BUILD IS COMPLETE AND READY TO ROLL, BUT LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE WE'VE BEEN. WHEN WE PICKED UP THIS STOCK 2010 SRT EIGHT IT WAS ALREADY A FORMIDABLE MACHINE. 425 HORSEPOWER FROM THE FACTORY AIN'T NO JOKE.
(TOMMY)>> BUT YOU KNOW US, WE THINK WE CAN DO BETTER,
STARTING WITH NEW SUSPENSION COMPONENTS TO GET IT LOWER AND
STIFFER, AS WELL AS A SET OF POWERSTOP BRAKES ALL THE WAY
AROUND TO MAKE IT STOP ON A DIME. THE GUYS IN ENGINE POWER DID THE DIRTY WORK OF GETTING THAT SIX POINT ONE LITER STROKED OUT AND REBUILT WITH A NEW DISPLACEMENT OF 426 CUBIC INCHES.
(MARC)>> THEN WE WEDGED THAT BAD BOY BACK INTO THE ENGINE BAY AND GOT A BEEFED UP FIVE SPEED AUTOMATIC TO BACK IT UP. THEN A SET OF 67 MILLIMETER TWIN TURBOS GOT BUCKLED IN TO FEED IT AIR.
NEXT CAME THE WRAP TO GIVE THIS CAR A DISTINCTIVE LOOK THAT RECALLS CLASSIC MOPAR STYLING CUES. THEN TIME TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP ON THE DYNO.
[ engine revving ]
(MARC)>> WHERE SHE MADE 728 AT THE WHEELS.
(TOMMY)>> HEY Y'ALL, WELCOME TO DETROIT MUSCLE. TODAY IS THE DAY THAT WE FINALLY GET TO TAKE OUR POWERSTOP ULTIMATE CHALLENGER AND RUN THIS THING THROUGH THE RINGER.
(MARC)>> AND LIKE WE SAID FROM THE BEGINNING OF THIS PROJECT, WE'RE GONNA PUT IT UP AGAINST A HELLCAT. SO WE GOT A WHOLE LITTER OF THEM.
(TOMMY)>> RIGHT NOW THE APEX PREDATOR IN THE MUSCLE CAR WORLD IS NONE OTHER THAN DODGE'S MONSTROUS HELLCAT. WE FOUND THE PERFECT PLACE TO PIT OUR POWERSTOP CHALLENGER AGAINST THEM.
RIGHT OUTSIDE OF PHOENIX, ARIZONA, IS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING PLACES FOR ANY GEARHEAD TO SPEND SOME TIME,
THE BOB BONDURANT RACING SCHOOL.
(MARC)>> ARGUABLY ONE OF THE BEST DRIVERS TO EVER WALK THE FACE OF THE EARTH. BOB BONDURANT WAS PART OF THE SHELBY AMERICAN TEAM THAT WENT UP AGAINST THE MIGHTY FERRARI IN THE WORLD MANUFACTURERS CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES IN 1964 AND '65. AFTER A DISAPPOINTING '64 SEASON MIRED IN POLITICS, THE '65 SEASON SHOWED THE AMERICAN TEAM OUT PACING THEIR EUROPEAN RIVALS ON ALMOST EVERY COURSE, WITH BOB EARNING MORE POINTS ALONE THAN THE ENTIRE FERRARI DRIVING TEAM. IN THE LEGENDARY SHELBY DAYTONA COUPES AND FORD GT 40. IT WAS IN REAMS, FRANCE, WHERE BOB AND CODRIVER JO SCHLESSER BROUGHT THE DAYTONAS TO A PHOTO FINISH AND SEALED THE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE AMERICANS.
(BOB)>> I ALWAYS WANTED TO RACE IN EUROPE AGAINST THE WORLD'S BEST, AND THAT'S WHERE THEY ARE, AND WE DID THAT AND HAD A FANTASTIC TIME, AND WON THE WORLD MANUFACTURERS CHAMPIONSHIP AT REAMS, FRANCE. AND THAT'S WHERE THE CHAMPAIGN IS MADE AT REAMS. SO WE CELEBRATED WHOLE HEARTEDLY. IT WAS GREAT!
(TOMMY)>> AFTER A DEVASTATING WRECK IN 1967 AT WATKINS GLEN,
DOCTORS TOLD BOB HE WOULD NEVER WALK AGAIN, BUT THROUGH COURAGE AND DETERMINATION HE DEFIED THE ODDS AND STARTED
THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS RACING SCHOOL.
(BOB)>> I TEACH DIFFERENTLY THAN ANYONE ELSE. I WANTED THE STUDENT TO FEEL WHAT THE CAR IS DOING. OTHERWISE THEY JUST SET IN THERE TRYING TO RIDE WITH IT,
BUT YOU WANT TO FEEL THAT MACHINE.
(PAT)>> AT THE BONDURANT SCHOOL YOU HAVE A SAFE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU GET TO DO THINGS THAT YOU WILL NEVER GET TO REPEAT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT WE'RE PREPARING YOU FOR THE UNEXPECTED.
(MARC)>> SO HERE WE ARE WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD WITH A SET OF SUPED UP CHALLENGERS READY TO TAKE ON THE BONDURANT RACEWAY. POWERSTOP IS THE OFFICIAL BRAKE OF BONDURANT AND ALL OF THEIR CARS RUN POWERSTOP COMPONENTS.
(PAT)>> YOU HAVE TO HAVE GOOD BRAKES. YOU HAVE TO HAVE GOOD BRAKES, AND AT THE BONDURANT SCHOOL EVERYTHING WE DO HERE IS FIRST QUALITY. IT'S ABOVE INDUSTRY STANDARD NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, NO MATTER WHAT WE TOUCH, WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THE COMPANY THAT WE KEEP AND WE ONLY KEEP COMPANY WITH THE BEST. ( )>> WELL WELCOME TO THE BOB BONDURANT SCHOOL OF HIGH PERFORMANCE DRIVING.
I WANT TO SAY WELCOME AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING OUT AND SPENDING SOME OF YOUR TIME WITH US.
(TOMMY)>> BEFORE WE GET TO START RAMMING AND JAMMING IN
ALL THOSE DODGES, THERE'S A FEW THINGS TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. AFTER AN INTRODUCTION WE'LL GO ON A TOUR OF THE FACILITY. THE SHOP IS WHERE THE REAL MAGIC HAPPENS, WITH EACH CAR SPENDING TIME BEING CHECKED OVER AND FRESHENED UP EVERY DAY.
THEN WE'LL TAKE A WALK TO THE MAIN TRACK AND JUMP IN SOME BIG OLE VANS FOR A RUN AROUND THE COURSE.
(MARC)>> YOU DON'T SEE A VAN DO THAT EVERYDAY.
WE'RE RIDING WITH OUR INSTRUCTOR, WILL PARKER, WHO WE'LL BE SPENDING OUR THREE DAYS WITH.
(WILL)>> WHAT DO YOU HAVE HERE? ( )>> ACCELERATION.
(MARC)>> WE'RE BACK IN THE CLASSROOM WHERE WE LEARN ALL ABOUT THE BONDURANT METHOD OF CAR CONTROL AND
IT'S A REAL EYE OPENER.
(WILL)>> YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING WHERE, WHERE YOU? ( )>> WANT TO GO.
(WILL)>> WANT TO GO.
(PAT)>> DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE CHAOS, PUT THE CAR
WHERE YOU WANT IT TO BE.
(MARC)>> ALRIGHT, SO THIS IS OUR FIRST CHANCE OF GETTING
BEHIND THE WHEEL HERE AT BONDURANT AND THEY'RE PUTTING US BEHIND THE WHEEL OF NONE OTHER THAN A HELLCAT. SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA GET STRAPPED IN HERE, AND THEY'RE
GONNA GET US OUT ON THE COURSE.
WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE BIT OF SLALOM ACTION, SEE WHAT THESE THINGS CAN DO.
(TOMMY)>> ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE'RE TAUGHT IS TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE CAR AND LET THE SUSPENSION SETTLE TO NEUTRAL BETWEEN CONES BECAUSE THIS MAXIMIZES THE AMOUNT OF TIRE GRIP THE CAR HAS GOING ON TO THE NEXT TURN.
AFTER EACH PASS WE COME BACK AROUND TO THE INSTRUCTORS AND THEY GIVE US TIPS TO IMPROVE. ( )>> OKAY YOU'RE TWO OR THREE GATES AHEAD OF YOURSELF. LET'S YOUR ROLL PERIPHERAL TAKE CARE OF THE CONES GETTING CLOSE TO THE FRONT OF YOUR CAR.
STEADY THROTTLE ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
GET TO 40 AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN.
(MARC)>> AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF SLINGING THOSE CHALLENGERS BACK AND FORTH IT'S BACK IN THE CLASSROOM FOR MORE ON TURNING AND SUSPENSION. ( )>> ONCE YOU START FEELING THAT GRIP YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND START ANGLING THAT CAR ONCE YOU GET THE ANGLE TO GET BACK ON THE THROTTLE.
(TOMMY)>> WE'RE FINDING OUT REALLY QUICK HOW COMPLICATED SOME OF THIS STUFF IS, DANG!
(ANNOUNCER)>> STICK AROUND AND GO FOR A RIDE IN THE SKID CAR.
(MARC)>> HEY WE'RE BACK AT THE BONDURANT RACING SCHOOL WHERE WE'VE BROUGHT OUT OUR POWERSTOP ULTIMATE CHALLENGER GIVEAWAY CAR TO GO HEAD TO HEAD WITH SOME HELLCATS. IT'S ABOUT 115 DEGREES HERE IN PHOENIX, AND IT'S TIME FOR THE SKID CAR.
(TOMMY)>> THE WAY THIS WORKS IS THE CAR HAS THIS FRAME
ATTACHED TO THE BOTTOM AND IT LIFTS UP EITHER THE FRONT OR THE REAR TIRES TO INDUCE A SLIDE.
BOY IT CAN GET AWAY FROM YOU PRETTY QUICK. [ tires screeching ]
(TOMMY)>> WE'RE RIDING WITH OUR INSTRUCTOR, WILL PARKER, WHO'S TALKING US THROUGH CAR CONTROL IN A SLIDE.
(WILL)>> YOU'LL SLIDE, REACT TO IT, LOOK WHERE YOU WANT TO GO, SETTLE IT, STRAIGHTEN IT OUT, YOU'RE GOOD, JUST LIKE THAT.
(MARC)>> AND JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU'VE REALLY GOT IT DOWN.
BUT SOON WE'RE BACK IN THE CHALLENGERS FOR A COLLISION AVOIDANCE EXERCISE. YOU RUN UP TO ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR, THEN LANE SHIFT
IN A CONTROLLED MANNER.
(WILL)>> SO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING A NICE LIFT OFF THAT THROTTLE, GET THAT NOSE DOWN, TURN NICE AND AGGRESSIVE. INTO THAT OPEN LANE, AND THEN SQUEEZE BACK ONTO THAT THROTTLE.
MARC'S DRIVING'S PRETTY GOOD. HE'S PRETTY ALERT, HE'S LOOKING AHEAD, AND HE REALLY SEEMS TO FEEL THE CAR, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING FOR SURE. TOMMY'S DOING EQUALLY AS GOOD. HE'S GOT A LITTLE BIT TOO HEAVY OF A RIGHT FOOT, WHICH IS ALSO FUN, BUT NOT ALWAYS THE RIGHT THING TO HAVE AT TIMES.
(TOMMY)>> TO ROUND OUT DAY ONE WE'LL PUT OUR HELMETS ON AND DO A FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE INSTRUCTORS OUT ON THE MAIN TRACK. IT'S NOT TIME FOR HIGH SPEED MANUVERING YET BUT THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO GET A FEEL FOR DRIVING THE CAR AT SPEED.
(PAT)>> YOU CANNOT BELIEVE HOW THESE HELLCATS AND THESE VIPERS ARE HOLDING UP IN THIS HEAT. YOU CANNOT BELIEVE IT.
(BOB)>> OH YEAH, VERY IMPORTANT.
(PAT)>> AND TO BRAKES, YOU KNOW BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO HIGHER ALTITUDES, EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO HEAT, TO HUMIDITY, AND ON, AND ON, AND ON.
(MARC)>> DAY TWO HERE AT BONDURANT AND TODAY WE'RE
GONNA GET TO SPEND A LOT MORE TIME BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THESE HELLCATS.
(TOMMY)>> YEAH WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF EXERCISES WE'RE GONNA BE DOING. ONE OF THEM INVOLVES SOME BRAKING, THE OTHER ONE'S CALLED "HEEL AND TOE".
(MARC)>> HA,HA,HA!
(TOMMY)>> OLD SLICK THERE MAY NOT BE AS EXCITED ONCE WE FIND OUT HOW HARD THIS HEEL AND TOE BUSINESS IS. IT INVOLVES USING YOUR RIGHT FOOT TO RUN BOTH THE THROTTLE AND THE BRAKE DURING THE DOWN SHIFT.
(MARC)>> WHEN YOU COME INTO A CORNER AND DOWN SHIFT, IF THE ENGINE SPEED ISN'T MATCHED TO THE WHEEL SPEED, AT THE VERY LEAST IT WILL SLOW YOU DOWN AND AT WORST IT WILL THROW TOO MUCH WEIGHT ONTO THE FRONT TIRES AND CAUSE OVERSTEER AND POSSIBLY LOSS OF CONTROL.
(WILL)>> BRAKE IN, CLUTCH IN, DOWN SHIFT, REV MATCH, CLUTCH COMES OUT, AND SEE WHEN IT'S DONE IN A SLOW ORDER LIKE THAT IT MAKES IT VERY, VERY EASY BECAUSE YOU ONLY HAVE ONE THING TO THINK OF AT A TIME.
(TOMMY)>> THIS IS HARD AS HECK, HARD AS HECK! THE REAL TRICK HERE IS TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST PLACE TO
PUT YOUR FOOT AND THEN GET THE TIMING DOWN.
(ANNOUNCER)>> HANG AROUND AND WATCH THE POWERSTOP CHALLENGER COME OUT SWINGING!
(TOMMY)>> WE'RE BACK AT BONDURANT RACING SCHOOL HANGING OUT WITH SOME VIPERS AND STUFF, BUT YOU KNOW US. WE'RE ALL ABOUT MUSCLE, BABY! TIME FOR SOME BRAKING EXERCISES. THANK GOODNESS FOR THOSE POWERSTOP BRAKES ON THESE THINGS.
(MARC)>> SO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS WE'RE DOING A BRAKING MANEUVER WHERE THEY'RE TELLING US WHICH SET OF CONES TO START APPLYING THE BRAKES. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO THE SECOND CONES AND THEN BRAKE. MORE BRAKE PRESSURE THAN LAST TIME, AND END UP IN BETWEEN THE CONES HERE. AND THEN WE GO BACK AROUND AND WE'RE GONNA GET CRITIQUED.
SO LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS. GOT A THUMBS UP!
THE NEXT EXERCISE TAKES THINGS A STEP FURTHER AND YOU BRAKE
HARD WHILE JUMPING LANES.
(TOMMY)>> ALRIGHT NOW WE'RE FIXING TO START AN AUTOCROSS COURSE IF YOU WILL. NOW IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER BACK, I DID ONE, IT WASN'T VERY GOOD AT ALL. SO I'M HOPING NOW THAT I CAN APPLY SOME OF THOSE SKILLS THAT THEM BOYS HAVE BEEN SHOWING US AND MAKE A PRETTY GOOD COME BACK.
( )>> ALRIGHT SO YOU'RE SITTING AT A FEEL. YOU JUST GOT UNDERNEATH A MINUTE, 59-93. SO YOU KNOCKED OFF WELL OVER A SECOND.
(TOMMY)>> THINGS ARE REALLY COMING TOGETHER FOR ME. AS FOR MARC, HECK, HE'S HEAD OF THE CLASS. ( )>> BEST TIME OF THE DAY RIGHT THERE. BUSTED 59, GOT TO 58'S HIGH.
(MARC)>> NICE! THEN MISTER PRODUCER PUT WILL IN SOMETHING TO COME OUT AND SPANK US WITH.
HERE WE GO, LET'S SEE HOW THAT POWERSTOP CAR HANGS WITH THE HELLCAT.
IT'S IMPRESSIVE TO SEE SOMEBODY WHO'S THIS GOOD AT MAKING A CAR DO WHAT THEY WANT IT TO DO, AND WILL IS PUSHING THAT BIG RED DODGE TO ITS LIMITS.
(TOMMY)>> HA, MARC AIN'T IN FIRST PLACE NO MORE. WILL'S GOT HIM BEAT IN THE POWERSTOP CAR BY A COUPLE OF SECONDS.
(WILL)>> YOU KNOW THESE TWO GUYS HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB FOR ME FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. WE'RE IN THE MORNING OF DAY THREE JUST BEFORE WE GO TO THE RACE TRACK. KIND OF THE LAST TRAINING EXERCISE BEFORE WE GO TO THE RACE TRACK. THEY'RE FOCUSING ON HEELTOE DOWN SHIFTING. IT'S A ROAD RACING TECHNIQUE. WE'RE FOCUSING ON STRAIGHT LINE BRAKING, TRAIL BRAKING, WHICH IS ANOTHER ROAD RACING TECHNIQUE, BUT THEY'RE FOCUSING ON HOW TO GET THE CAR THROUGH THE CORNER EFFICIENTLY. THEY WERE PRETTY GOOD WHEN THEY SHOWED UP.
I'D SAY THAT THEY HAD A GIANT OPEN MIND WILLING TO LISTEN TO EVERYTHING I HAD TO SAY. NOT LOOKING AT ME LIKE THEY HAD THE EXPERIENCE, BUT THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT I KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND COULD COACH THEM IN THE RIGHT WAY, AND THEY HAVE SOAKED IT IN LIKE A SPONGE. THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING I'VE ASKED. THEY'VE MADE MISTAKES, THEY'VE PUSHED IT TOO HARD, THEY'VE DRIVEN IT TOO WEAK, AND THEY'VE LEARNED FROM IT.
(ANNOUNCER)>> LAST DAY AT THE BONDURANT AND GUESS WHO TAKES OUR CHALLENGER FOR A SPIN.
(MARC)>> DAY THREE AND WE FINALLY GET TO GO ON TRACK AT HIGH SPEED WITH OUR HELLCATS.
WE'RE FOLLOWING WILL IN CAR NUMBER ONE, ME IN TWO, AND TOMMY IN THREE.
(TOMMY)>> THIS IS WHERE WE GET TO APPLY ALL THE THINGS WE'VE LEARNED OVER THE LAST THREE DAYS, AND PUSH THESE CARS AS HARD AS WE CAN. WE ALSO ASKED WILL TO PUT ON A LITTLE BIT OF A SHOW FOR THE CAMERAS, AND HE WAS HAPPY TO OBLIGE.
(MARC)>> HERE GOES WILL MAKING US LOOK BAD AGAIN.
[ engine revving ] [ tires squealing ]
(PAT)>> WHEN YOU BOIL IT ALL DOWN TO A TEASPOON, I'M TEACHING YOU CAR CONTROL.
(TOMMY)>> WE'RE OUT HERE HAVING THE TIME OF OUR LIVES BUT WE'RE ABOUT TO GET OUR BUTTS KICKED BECAUSE THE MAN HIMSELF IS COMING ON THE TRACK IN THE POWERSTOP CAR, AND SON, THAT FELLER CAN DRIVE.
MARC DECIDED TO TRY AND CHASE HIM DOWN IN HIS HELLCAT. THAT WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN.
LITTLE BY LITTLE BOB PULLED AWAY FROM HIM IN THE RED CAR.
HE MAKES IT LOOK EASY.
(MARC)>> WELL WHAT DID YOU THINK?
(BOB)>> THIS THING IS NICE AND FAST.
(WILL)>> I THINK THE CAR THAT YOU GUYS BUILT, AFTER DRIVING IT, IT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU WENT AFTER. IT'S THE EQUALIZER TO THAT HELLCAT, AWESOME
CAR, I DIG IT! YOU GUYS DID THE GOAL.
(MARC)>> IT'S TIME TO GRADUATE.
ON TOP OF EVERYTHING WE EVEN GOT BOB TO SIGN THE DASH OF OUR GIVEAWAY CHALLENGER, AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA NEED SOME NEW REAR TIRES.
(BOB)>> THIS CAR REALLY HAULS ASS.
[ tires screeching ]
(TOMMY)>> WE'VE HAD A GREAT TIME HERE AT THE BONDURANT SCHOOL, BUT BEFORE WE GIVE THIS THING AWAY TO ONE OF YOU LUCKY GUYS OR GALS OUT THERE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS THING IS WELL PROTECTED.
(MARC)>> IN ORDER TO DO THAT WE CALLED ON OUR FRIENDS AT COVERCRAFT AND THEY PULLED THROUGH, STARTING WITH A SET OF CUSTOM EMBROIDERED FLOOR MATS WITH OUR POWERSTOP ULTIMATE CHALLENGER LOGO.
(TOMMY)>> BUT IT DOESN'T END THERE. WE'RE ALSO THROWING IN SOME CUSTOM SEAT SAVER HBC COVERS, A UVS 100 CUSTOM SUN SCREEN, AND OF COURSE A CUSTOM WEATHER SHIELD HP TWO COLOR CAR COVER. ALL TOGETHER THIS PACKAGE FROM COVERCRAFT IS GONNA KEEP THIS CAR LOOKING GREAT FOR YEARS FOR THE LUCKY WINNER OF THE POWERSTOP CHALLENGER.

HE MAKES IT LOOK EASY.
(MARC)>> WELL WHAT DID YOU THINK?
(BOB)>> THIS THING IS NICE AND FAST.
(WILL)>> I THINK THE CAR THAT YOU GUYS BUILT, AFTER DRIVING IT, IT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU WENT AFTER. IT'S THE EQUALIZER TO THAT HELLCAT, AWESOME
CAR, I DIG IT! YOU GUYS DID THE GOAL.
(MARC)>> IT'S TIME TO GRADUATE.
ON TOP OF EVERYTHING WE EVEN GOT BOB TO SIGN THE DASH OF OUR GIVEAWAY CHALLENGER, AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA NEED SOME NEW REAR TIRES.
(BOB)>> THIS CAR REALLY HAULS ASS.
[ tires screeching ]
(TOMMY)>> WE'VE HAD A GREAT TIME HERE AT THE BONDURANT SCHOOL, BUT BEFORE WE GIVE THIS THING AWAY TO ONE OF YOU LUCKY GUYS OR GALS OUT THERE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS THING IS WELL PROTECTED.
(MARC)>> IN ORDER TO DO THAT WE CALLED ON OUR FRIENDS AT COVERCRAFT AND THEY PULLED THROUGH, STARTING WITH A SET OF CUSTOM EMBROIDERED FLOOR MATS WITH OUR POWERSTOP ULTIMATE CHALLENGER LOGO.
(TOMMY)>> BUT IT DOESN'T END THERE. WE'RE ALSO THROWING IN SOME CUSTOM SEAT SAVER HBC COVERS, A UVS 100 CUSTOM SUN SCREEN, AND OF COURSE A CUSTOM WEATHER SHIELD HP TWO COLOR CAR COVER. ALL TOGETHER THIS PACKAGE FROM COVERCRAFT IS GONNA KEEP THIS CAR LOOKING GREAT FOR YEARS FOR THE LUCKY WINNER OF THE POWERSTOP CHALLENGER.

(TOMMY)>> IF YOU'VE GOT A RUSTY TOP BECAUSE THE ELEMENTS HAVE MADE THEIR WAY THROUGH YOUR VINYL TOP ON A '67 TO '69 CAMARO OR FIREBIRD, AMD HAS ROOF SKINS. MADE TO OE SPECIFICATIONS, THIS SKIN COVERS THE ENTIRE
