Car Show On Foxtel P.i.p.e.s

[gdogzgtr]

On foxtel on Saturday night 1.30 a.m. on ESPN there is a car challenge show in U.S. which is pretty good to watch.

Basically 2 teams have their choice of Car to modify with $1500 in parts and 4 hours to fit parts then they drag race the cars to see which team has improoved their cars performance down the stip the most and the winner moves on to next round of competition. Only goes for 30 minutes but is interesting to watch.

Just wondering who else has seen it and what they think of it.

I personally thought ut was interesting to watch and recommend others with foxtel to have a look.

Sounds interesting, but i don't have foxtel.... what kind of cars/mods/times have you seen out of interest?

I saw it, not bad but it depends on what cars they have to mod. Next week they are doing Ford Mustand vs Corvette.

Its better than that street tuner challenge which has the R32 GTR - that show is so frustratingly slow. All you want to see is them flog the car or put some cool performance mods on but I haven't seen either so far.

On street tuner challange the GTR ends up with around 850hp at the wheels, while the other two, the jetta and chevy bla bla bla get around 200hp at the wheels. Not much of a challange there.

I watched it for the first time on the weekend, way better than Street Tuner Challenge. Cant remember what car it was (red) but a set of ET Streets and a ecu tune gave it a 10sec pass, thats nothing to be shy about.

go street tuner challange!... haha the Jetta never stood a chance... just watched my first episode of PIPES the other day, not bad, looks promising... except for the whole drag racing aspect;)

that street tuner challenge i saw one episode where they stripped the 32gtr back and were stiffening the chasis, like its already not stiff enough. Besides stiffening the chasis doesn't make it automatically go faster, just easier to tune the suspension... seems like the had no idea.
