New shows on SPEED channel

Did anyone watch street tuner challenge or pinks last night?

Street tuner challenge was interesting...basically a bunch of teams are competing to make the "best" tuner car. The GM team is tuning a cobalt SS and it put down 197 whp bone stock, which I thought was surprising. Turbo XS is tuning a r32 skyline, and some german tuners are working on a jetta.

The other show "pinks" was pretty boring. A couple of guys from rival car shops were drag racing eachother for pink slips. The producers tried to make the show dramatic by instigating arguments and swearing like every other word.

If you didn't see these shows...I would reccomend street tuner challenge, but only watch pinks if want a laugh or feel like talking ish to your tv.

The Pinks guy sucked. Screaming like anything. I heard he's some actor on another show and doesn't know a thing about cars.

That makes sense...he definitely did suck but in a way it made the show funnier!

I think what they were saying on the show is that they tune german cars...not that they are actually from germany. Bad wording on my part.

One of GOTO:Racing's cars got some TV time (about 10 seconds) during the time attack segment. It was our Honda Challenge H4 Del Sol.
