Anybody get to see the new show that started last night on the speed channel? It is called pinks. I believe they had a lt-1 camaro run against a 2000 ls1 firebird. The camaro had slicks and a 250 shot of nos. The ls1 had a 50 shot of nos and drag radials. It was interesting once the camaro gave the ls1 a 8 car lenght start. Although, it was a shame to see the ls1 guy hand his keys over to the other racer. If you did not see it last night be sure to tune in for it next wednesday.

I saw it .. the show was ok ... the guy in charge is too much of a dork to be calling the shots. I feel bad for any of those guys that have to hand over the keys. It wouldn't make good TV but I would just hand them back. Kind of cool to see F-Bods start the season off97 TA, M6, JBA ceramic coated headers, Borla Cat-back exhaust, 1.6 RR, 160 Thermo, LT4 knock sensor, CAI, Bils, Hotchkis all around, GT rotors, B&M shifter, Magnecor wires, Granatelli MAF

I saw it-the guy in charge was a dork. It would be a decent show if they got someone else to do it
I don't think that guy with the Trans Am knew what he was getting in to-

I agree that the guy was a dork as well. It was also awesome to see a camaro and firebird start off the season. I also agree that the guy in the formula did underestimate the camaro.slp longtube headers, slp y-pipe, high-flow cats, superchips programmer, slp 85mm air sensor, slp loudmouth exhaust, ws6 hood, slp cai, kn air filter, slp high-flow lid, smooth bellows, tb bypass, subframes, lca's, panhard bar, torque arm.Comment

I caught it. I have been
for SPEED to dig up a new show and I got to say I was dissappointed. It was really cool to spin it off with two F-body's but the "host" would not stop b!tch!ng. I mean I know they only have a 30 min. timeslip but all this....."I want you on the line in 20 secs.!" stuff is annoying in a T.V. show. Bad first impressions, but I'll stay tuned to see if it gets any better (or worse).

That Z28 was a 10 sec built up car
It's a cool premis of a show but I missed it. I did a search and Straightline Performance did it and advertizes it on there site. Poor guy with the LS1 but at least it shows the public that newer isn't always better....when the older is built up a bit at least

I just saw a rerun of the show today. I thought the concept is cool, but needs a major overhaul. I wasn't impressed with the host, as well. The biggest problem I see is not knowing what the opponent has/brings. Maybe when the previous winners get challenged, we know what they'll bring. However, the head starts make it no better than bracket racing (without breaking out though). Although it only makes things fair, why not screen the opponents first to make sure it's even...or close. This wasn't. And I want to see 2 guys run all out in all races. No "no spray this time" or "spray next time" garbage. Just run what you got.94 Black T/A GT, Advanced Induction 355, 3200 stall, built 4L60E, Moser 9", Baer Brakes, Shooting for 11s...Comment

They do need to put more evenly matched cars against each other. At least the same "type" of car - not a "daily driver" vs a race car.Silver 02 WS-6, 6 speed, Corsa cat-back, SLP lid, K&N filter, BMR STB, !CAGs, Lou's short stick, MSD wires, MTI "Hammer" cam, ASP underdrive pulley, Hooker LTs, Hooker ORY, Comp 918s, TR pushrods, UMI Sfcs, UMI LCAs, NGK TR55s, Hotchkis springs

I agree with you guys. I thought they would have ran two cars that were in a similar class. All the head start, no nitrous stuff etc. was pretty lame. Yeah and that host was getting on my nerves. I'll watch a couple more episodes and if dosen't get better I'll quit watching it. At least it's not another NASCAR show though .

Oh yea, it turns out that the winner sold the Formula back for $100. I knew the show was probably rigged. There's so much immature trash talking on ls1tech.com, it's not even worth looking at. Sad
