The Forum Wars
 

http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/26/s...an-yours-inte/

Anyone who has ever spent more than 10 minutes on an automotive forum knows that a flame war is only one inflammatory comment away. Fanboys love to trash anything that doesn't carry their badge of choice, but tread on their beloved marquee and the thread turns into Niagra Falls. But rather than frown upon the typical forum vitriol, a report from the Autoblog Podcast veterans at the Hooniverse shows that Speed TV plans to give these automotive fanatics some air time instead.

The new show is called "Forum Wars," and the premise is to give these big talkers track access to replace wimpy words with tire-smoking action. You think your pristine Dodge Challenger is better than a Mustang forum owner's Bullitt? You may have a chance to take it to the track to decide who's right, once and for all. The show is scheduled to hit the airwaves on Monday, April 5, with the inaugural episode pitting a Shelby Mustang GT500 against a Nissan 350Z. Drivers will hit the bends and take on the straightaways at a drag strip, so all bases are covered. Hit the jump to view Speed TV's 30-second show promo. Looks like this show could be interesting.




Looks like it has some potential, Mitsustyle Vs. MNSubaru? lol

Re: The Forum Wars
 

That would be the only decent show on the speed channel. 24-7 nascar, what a waste of airtime.

I'm down. :sasmokin:

Re: The Forum Wars
 

Id be down :D

Re: The Forum Wars
 

hahahahahahaha...this could be both cool, AND hilarious...they should make a television show about virtually every forum type

Re: The Forum Wars
 

we would destroy MNSubaru, in pure power and speed for sure, and for handling we have the evos. No competition.

How about TCStangs? heh

Re: The Forum Wars
 

Yeah, but it would still be fun.

Re: The Forum Wars
 

These guys should be our competition http://www.saturnperformanceclub.com...2004race1.html :lol:

Re: The Forum Wars
 

What about MNHonda? lol, I think tcstangs would be a good competition for ya guys?

Re: The Forum Wars
 

Yeah, not according to them :rollinglaugh:


MNSubaru = :jackoff: lol

Re: The Forum Wars
 

What's so funny? They're participating in SCCA club racing and 99% of the people here are bench racers.

Re: The Forum Wars
 

My post was based more around the idea of a drag race between a DSM/Evo and any Saturn more than the Auto-X. I have a friend that dodges cones in one and they're pretty lethal cars when set-up right.

I shouldn't have been lazy and posted the first link I saw. Here's the site I was originally looking for. My friend's a moderator here and he always lets me know when there's rice to be seen (Which is quite often unfortunately). :waterski:

Re: The Forum Wars
 

They aren't even autocrossing, that is SCCA club racing, door to door road racing. :)

Re: The Forum Wars
 

Maybe put you behind the wheel of my car when it is done. Could be interesting. Should have you give your opinion on my suspension setup, anyway.

Re: The Forum Wars
 

I'm easily puttin down 350 hp and gettin to 60 in a good 4 to 5 seconds. I'll race all of you! :P lol.

OP, looks interesting. The only speed channel show I like to watch is the one where 3 contestants have to guess the 1/4 mile time. It'd be nice to see some variety go at it for sure. Forum Wars...wow.
