I wonder if anyone happened to catch it last night at 7 PM. The featured car was a Focus...the same car used on a recent Canadian Ford ad (dark blue; projector headlights; younger, chunky guy who "likes to drop the hammer").
First time I've seen the show, but I guess the premise is that they take the car from the owner without telling them exactly what mods will be done to it. This guy was quite pleased to get it back with a Vortech supercharger, body kit, XBox in-dash, etc. Fairly interesting.

I was surprised to find out that this show is based here in the GTA. They have taken cars to Protech in Mississauga to dyno and tune.....

Yup. He's one of our guys.
he's never going to live down that commercial LOL.
The plus on that show is the owner can do what he wants with the mods, if s/he doesn't like what they've done.

Actually it was a PS/2 and a ZX5. Or as the Canadians say it, ZedX5.
