Couples Fear Factor Using 3rd Gen Camaros

I am not huge on reality tv however something the other night caught my eye. On couples fear factor they were using 3rd gen camaro coupes (looked to be 85-90) painted orange in one of their stunts.

What they had to do is be blind folded and drive the car up onto a moving ramp with their partner coaching them on which way to go (faster, slower, left, right, etc.).

One of the guys missed the ramp and had his car up on 2 wheels.

Anybody see it?

I didn't see it, but I think they have used 3rd gens in a few of their shows before too.

I have seen them use 2nd gens once before. They had to drive the car as fast as they could then they hit a ramp to make the car flip over. The car that flew the furthest won.

What a waste of of good F-Bodys....

One of those fear factors used 3rd gen Camaro's to do the most number of passes under a moving 18 wheeler. They had a runway length with the truck going a certain speed, and had to drive under the moving tractor trailer as many times as possible. It looked like a lot of fun. They wouldnt have to pay me 50K for that - I'd do it for free!
