Forum Wars on Speed Channel

[99hatch]

This is pretty cool. All the trash talking on forums can be backed up and met on the track. A good idea in my opinion.

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.

Ls1tech would probably take the crown if they just had a major site competition.

I will probably watch this show. I tend to watch Top Gear and Bullrun while trolling forums. Forum Wars is like a mix of all three things.

I was lookin forward to this Forum Wars thing...I watched the first episode and the drivers/cars poorly represent the forums. People of Stangnet have NO idea who the mustang driver is, and the 350z guy is nameless and also apparently that 350z was thrown together in 4 days says a shop on the forums. If something like this is gonna take place, at least find good representatives of each forum with the proper vehicle...

First two episodes are out, and watchable. 350z got trashed by the mustang (but both were slow as fuck in the eighth mile WTF both over 9 seconds and under 80 mph Fail)
