tuner transformation is really gay but for some reason i enjoy watching it.

rides is ok to.

horse-power tv is all about older-high HP cars, and they lean more twords the domestic route. nothing wrong with that.

When I read the topic that was what popped into my head. Plus, those guys are ------- dorks/shitty actors. I guess when you're rockin' a mullet.... :-\

I think Trucks is one of the best, HP tv is cool too, but I'm an undercover domestic lover so I guess thats why. super2nr, when it was on used to suck balls, those twins were annoying as all hell, though hey knew their ---- and built that Supra

I don't like either too much. Tuner Transformation is just plain awful. They pretty much rape the cars that they get. If they ever did that to my car, I would gouge their face with my keys. As for Horsepower TV, like other people said it's for older cars. Whenever they do an old car it's alright. But anybody saw the teal colored civic that they were working on? They put on few shitty bolt-ons. It dynoed at a whopping 100hp!

tuner transformation, lmfao

i can stand that one bitch that likes to "trick out" the cars with body kits and stripes. i feel like kicking his face in.


and the stupid bitch that shows the car to the owner at the end. she has no ------- clue what the ---- shes saying or doing.

she should be slapped.

lmao, they actually ended up doing a gsr swap w/ n2o.

but again. they had some1 else come in and walk them through the swap.

Tuner transformation did a CRX for N10. They guy has sold almost all the crap they put in there except the b16 and brakes, lol.

super2nr TV SUCKED. all they did was ask some dumb kids what rims and stickers they have on the cars. then they would take some footage of a strip and call it a
show. :thumbDOWN:

Trucks! is my fav i think. That guy makes me laugh. and he really knows what he's doing.

Horsepower is too repetative. yah they know the stuff. But they are always building a small black chev, mopar, ford and throwin it in a car. same thing every show.

I think all of those shows suck anymore, b/c they are just 30 min. commericals. I was real pissed about it one weekend, and figured out that only 12 of the 30 min. of the show was not a commercial. thats not including the time that the hosts spend telling (and by telling I mean selling) you about the parts they are going to install.

Re:whats the worst performance based tv show
 
no matter how bad the shows suck, i still watch them, there isn't much on tv with imports, so i guess it's better than nothing, at least you get to make fun of them, it's like cruisin through the mall parking lot on a friday night without even leaving the couch

LMAO! that show is the stupidest.


I was hooked on monster garage/american chopper when they came out, but they are all just a bunch of ---- re-runs, and i can almost recite the entire show. its really stupid.

jesse james is my role model. ive been thinking about buying his bio, but i dont know if i can read that much, there arent that many pictures either.

they dont even open the damn hood!

and american choppers suck. all they do is a couple fenders, and a gas tank. Order different wheels and put it together. I wouldnt even call them bike BUILDERS, more like bike ASSEMBLERS. >:(

the only thing they custom make is accessorys

high rev tuners is pretty cool. i meen pep boys sponsers the show so that kinda sucks but they still do some good installs. thats like the only real sportcompact show there is where i am :-\

The first time I watched Pimp My Ride and saw the huge APC banner I knew the show was crap.

Re:whats the worst performance based tv show
 
i was flipping through channels and happened on that show "high rev tuners" and as i watched (for only 2 minutes), they started talking about "high performance muffler tips" so i changed it immediately.

all the import shows are rice-a-thon 2k4

LMAO.. high performance muffler tips, woohoo!

Pimp My Ride sucks ass.. "Let's put 17's on this MicroVan" ::).. Overhaulin (I think it is) is pretty cool, American Choppers is cool.

That would kick ass.. I was reading "Honda Tuning" today and they were going on and on about this CRX with a whopping 205 HP from a Supercharged B16.. Hell, stick Beau's car beside that one and it'll kick its ass.

Re:whats the worst performance based tv show
 
I gotta vote for OverHauling. Chip Foose is the master, and the teams he uses get a whole lotta stuff done in just a short amount of time. Plus they are doing complete resto work, not just bolting on a buncha bling. The obligatory chick they have on the show, Courtney?, does a pretty decent job, without being a bimbo or airhead. She even picks up a tool and helps. They only gay part is all the time they spend on pranking the owner.

American HotRod is really enjoyable. They build some great cars, and design a lot of the project themselves. The Alumatub project was incredible, a completely hand fabricated, alll aluminum bodied roadster. They just need to learn to be nice to each other. Boyd is a jerk half the time. Dwane is too. Bluebear is a dork. And Boyd's ex-wife is a bitchy old battle-axe, who causes more problems than she is worth. Boyd should get her trouble-making butt outta his shop. No wonder he dumped her ass, and married a younger hotter chick.

American Chopper is cool, but the bullshit arguments get in the way of getting stuff done. They sure have done well with the fame though. The shop from the first show is tiny, compared to what they have now. Mikey is a riot.

Monster Garage is cool, but Jesse James kinda sold out. Advertising for Coors and Autozone? Come on, he can't be needing a paycheck that bad....

Tuner Transformation does some cool stuff, but that idiot Johnny needs to go. The ripped shirt and backwards hat deal is terrible. They need to focus on performance. And they also need to find a non-bimbo chick that does a spokemodel job, and leave it at that. These hoes that been trying out every fews episodes gotta go.

Hod Rod TV seldom does anything requiring real creativity. It's just a bunch of repititous bolt-ons and crap. I met the old blond-haired dude at SEMA last year, and he was too busy annoying the car chicks to notice the cars. (Guess I'll be a leacherous old man too, way to soon.)

Trucks is great! Stacy David, does know his stuff, and has the creative intelligence as well.

Damn I watch too much TV, thank god for TiVo or I'd never get ---- done.

Craig

sports car revolution is pretty good, they have a 0 rice policy.

also, fifth gear is decent too, although there european antics can get annoying (no offense)

i seen a high rev tuners episode where they made a kick as srt4 and another where they put a b18b into a 95 hunchback. so, there ok in my book
