Forum Wars episode 350z vs GT Mustang

elmz · 04-20-2010, 11:52 AM

I found this video the other day. It was discussed on a 350Z forum I still visit every now and then. Anyway, its a show called Forum Wars where they basically take car forums and stack them up against each other in a series of performance tests. According to the discussion, the original plan was to stack a 370Z against the GT but it didn't pan out, so they used a 350Z instead.

It is a good idea implemented in a bad way.

i find it hilarious that they pit the slowest 350z 03' with an inexperienced driver vs an 08 gt Shelby mustang with a semi experienced driver. hell a 370z would have lost with that douchebag driver.

Lol at the fact that they wanted to find a 370z on that forum instead of this one. Anyway the show is poorly prepared. The 350z they used was put together in 4 days (not a nismo btw like the guy states in the video) with an amateur driver pitted up against a track ready shelby gt with a seasoned driver. Nobody on the 350z site knew who the representative was nor were the administrators even contacted about the show. I heard the evo vs sti race was botched as well. Nobody from the evo site knew the driver (who in fact drives an sti and just drove his gf's stock evo for the race) and the sti they were up against had significantly more modifications including stage 2 tuning.

Yada, yada, yada.....and if the 350Z would have won the match you people would be screaming just how great the show was prepared and how great the Z was compared to the Stang....

I will quote myself again.
Not saying much about this one specifically because the facts have been shared, but this really needs to have some rules to keep it some what equal.

~Driver level
~Mods: price per mod, power per mod, etc.

I am sure there are some minor rules they could create which would help make it interesting and X v. Y forum, but would attempt to not have this type of situation happen again.

I'm not dense....I just get a thrill out of getting in the face of people who display a pretense of having a virtuous character, morals or principles that they do NOT really possess.
