Looks real sick. I wish Speed Channel showed stuff like this racing series instead of the non-stop coverage of NASCAR and near endless episodes of Pinks and Unique Whips.

I agree that NASCAR gets way to much coverage on Speed, but it is the main racing sport in America. I personally find NASCAR really boring and way too spec for my tastes, but the owners of the NASCAR brand make a lot of money, so why change the formula? I would like to see more racing like GT3. At least we get to see cars that have some semblence of the manufacturers street cars. Speed needs to offer some balance in it's programming or else I will watch it even less than I do now. It had such potential and I am not certain what happened to that potential?

Since NASCAR has so much money They should have their own network. Pinks and Unique whips is def MTV material.

But unlike the Tuner rice rockets, that rear wing actually generates useful downforce.

Even Alpina can't make the ugly 6 look good.
