The Forum Wars TV: Let the Internet Whining Continue - shelby mustang - Jalopnik

Quote:

"So as it turns out this show doesn't exist on Speed at all, its a
mini show put together by Royal Purple to be aired on their website
at [www.theforumwars.tv]
The blurb about it airing on Speed is just about a teaser airing in
April.

Also as it turns out some of the people involved in competing aren't
even members of the forum they are representing, the Evo driver for
instance is driving his girlfriends car, He owns an STI!

Below is a post by the driver of the 350Z that basically got
destroyed by the Mustang.

yeah it was a completely unfair match up. I pretty much had to do it.
since the producers where looking for a 350Z but no one stepped up. I
actually was told I was doing this while i was at sema with some
friends haha. the Mustang was pretty much race ready. it had Hoosier
Race Tires, Carbon Tech Brake pads, Crown Lines, KW Suspension,
(Springs shocks sway bars) car was already corner balanced and
aligned, it of course had that fancy intake and Borla Exhaust. that's
all i was able to see who knows if it was tuned, test pipes headers?
idk sounded real mean. not only that but the driver of that car was
Season Trained, and had allot more practice on the road course than
we where even allowed.

on the other hand, I only had a couple other vendors help me out and
its mainly because we have good friends that work there. but the the
Z i was able to slap together in a couple days had

Megan Headers, and Testpipes
Nismo Replica exhaust (don't even know what brand lol)
Custom Intake made by yours truly
my Friends over at west covina nissan let me have an Oil Burner Motor
off a 2004, and a recall Transmission with a very fun 2nd gear.
Stock VLSD
Stock Brembos
Some really worn Toyo tires (new tires did not come in like i was
told i was getting if i would of known I would of at least bought
some Falken RT615's or Kuhmo's )
Tokico Shocks
Progress Springs and Swaybars

then my buddy over @ specialty Z managed to tune the car to make some
sort of respectable power (the car's Cylinders 4 and 6 spark plugs are
soaked in oil) I'm very surprised they where able to get 270whp out of
a bucket **** motor that was in there."

also adding this in: what rivalry between mustangs and 350/370s? BMW and Porsche? Okay. Camaro and Mustang? Okay. STi v. Evo? Okay. I can think of plenty of long-standing car rivalries.
