Gen5 on Mythbusters tonight

Not sure what they're testing, but I saw a preview for tonight's Mythbusters, and they showed a clip of a black 5th gen hauling ass. Should be cool

I think they are testing the myth that you lose 10 lbs while racing. Got it set to record.

This is from tonights listing:
"The MythBusters burn rubber at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway testing racing myths. Can man beat machine in a 30-ft, standing-start sprint? Can a driver lose 10 lbs during a race? Can a race tire's suction rip loose a manhole cover during a street race?"

calling it now

1) Plausible (Hussein Bolt might be able to)

2) yes (if he's wearing a full racing suit, helmet, gloves, etc.)

3) Plausible (if tires are properly warmed up that is)
