Default Pinks! TV Show- Import vs Domestic

Did anyone watch Pinks! on Speed channel last night? It was a turbo Civic (600hp) vs a Trans Am (built LT4 stroker, procharged, 630 hp with a 100 shot). Trans Am was whipping the Civic so bad the boy with the Civic was gettin 20 lengths in the 1/4!

Here's how it broke down:
Race 1: Civic gets 5 lengths, Trans Am runs without nitrous (T/A wins by 8)
Race 2: Civic gets 12 lengths, T/A w/o nitrous (T/A wins by 8)
Race 3: Civic gets 20 lengths, T/A w/o nitrous (Civic wins by 20)
Race 4: Civic gets 15 lengths, T/A w/o nitous and lost 2nd gear (Civic by 5)
Race 5: Civic gets 2 lengths, T/A with nitrous and lost 2nd gear (T/A by 8)

Basically, Civic got his a$$ whooped on by some domestic muscle! And the whole time the Civic boys were whining about their car being front wheel drive, claiming sabotage, yada yada yada....

When will they learn that there is no replacement for displacement! Don't bring a knife to a gunfight!

I saw it, they kept talking about representing Imports??? How is it representing anything when you cant run heads up with the other guy. If you get spotted 20 lengths and win, what have you accomplished??? Absolutely NOTHING!!!!!!!!

I agree this actual race was pathetic from a good, competitive race point of view, but I loved the results!!! The Vette vs Nova was a better race, no question.

I wonder how many fast and furious hip hoppers had their bubble busted last night... I bet there's a lot of rice being sold today!
