Is anyone watching Speed TV right now?

I'm sitting here working on my laptop and this show "Street Tuner Challenge" started at 7:30 on Speed TV. They are giving out three cars to three different teams, each has to compete against each other to build the "ultimate street car". This is what they have... tell me if you can spot the problem:

- Chevy Cobalt SS
- R32 Skyline GT-R
- VW Mk 5 Jetta

This must be a joke. The team building the Skyline is XS Engineering. GM Performance and their team of old farts who usually work at a desk is building the Cobalt. Not like it matters... I think a bunch of kids from TSR could build a Skyline that would hand these cars their asses. Who the hell thinks to put an all-wheel-drive twin turbo monster that has won numerous racing championships up against two FWD econoboxes? They might as well have put a Festiva and a Swift up against the Skyline...

That's pathetic. Why don't they throw in an Echo just to make it interesting. Jetta vs Cobalt vs Skyline? Who the hell researched that?

Yeah strip and stiffen the skyline. Everyone knows they don't handle. After all it's not like they ever won any races from the factory. The next episode had better be better than that.

I want to see what they going to make out of Jetta. Skyline is least interesting, Cobalt is some what exiting. But JETTA, and AUTO....... I want to see what they going to do with it.

Are you sure about that? Perhaps you should examine the facts before you make an outrageous statement.

SuprAdam can only hope to improve
They gave xs engineering the better car in hopes that they would use there brand of turbo's and what not on it. If that is the case their turbo will split in half in roughly 29 seconds.

Yeah I saw and they could have at least have had cars that are in the same category as each other, but I can't wait to see the results in the time trials.

Yeah I will admit i'm interested in what they can do with a Jetta auto. But come on Jetta and Cobalt vs Skyline?!? Come on...They're even stripping the GTR. The others don't stand a chance unless some retarded cop is driving the skyline.
