Anyone catch this show today? It is on right now. They grab 3 cars, modify them, then judge them on exterior, interior, and hp (time attack, dyno, etc.). They have a 93' R32 GTR, Cobalt SS, and a 05' Jetta Mark V this week.

HMMMmmmm ... HHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm let me think who will win that... Skyline? Lets see, more sex appeal, on the int/ext. even if it is left stock. The motor is sooo much better then the others. this is a easy competition. atleast give the skyline some competition, like a FD,TT Supra, and the R33... that would be a good contest.

Those are all re runs...the skyline has trouble at the track. I forget what goes wrong with it, but they dyno it at like 800 hp. It beats out the cobalt by over 500hp

I forgot to say they pick 3 cars from 3 different countries/regions- US, Euro, Japan
It would have been better if they picked more evenly matched cars like any other European car other than a VW or any other Japanese car..

I agree, GM needs lots of help.

Ive watched the show before, just missed this episode, damn.

95SC2 · 12-30-2005, 05:25 PM

last time i seen it they were just gettin the skyline back together and painting the cobalt

97TurboDSM · 12-31-2005, 04:26 PM

its not all performance though, each team picks something about the car that they want to improve...skyline was the motor, jetta was exterior, and cobalt was interior i beieve...its a contest of how each car is liked overall, they just put them on the track to see what they do aftermarket as compared to stock

95SC2 · 12-31-2005, 05:09 PM

i thought all three teams were gettin evaluated on the inerior, exterior and motor?

97TurboDSM · 12-31-2005, 06:55 PM
