PINKS

TORQUE
Anyone ever watch this show? It's on right now (8:01 CST) the drama is funny!
I like the Pinks All Out best, I like to see the times on the cars, which the regular Pinks lacks. You have to listen to them carefully to ever hear a time.
A dude named Nuygen, I think? I can't remember the spelling exactly. It's pronounced Win. Anyway, he has a Bad A$$ GN that was rockin in the low or mid 10's I think.
Anyone ever seen a TTa on this show? I just started watching and am catching up on the re-runs and fastly becoming addicted (just got digi cable). Who in the Falk would ever bet a TTA though? Personally it would be a very interesting episode. A 1990 ZR-1 vs. a TTA. Neeto Yo!

I heard that nobody loses their car. Just makes it more dramatic for TV.

Nope......I know a guy that did win the other guys car. The catch is (I think), is that the TV show buys both cars before the race, so even if you lose, you don't leave empty handed, but the other guy gets your car.

If I'm wrong, please disregard this post. :lol:
 
I'm not sure how it works. But think I would cry if I lost one of my cars. I did see an episode with an import vs a 4th gen trans-am. The guys in the import was asking for 20 lenths. I think he was given like 15 and the ta still won.

I saw that one! There was an episode that was supposed to have a GN racing.
Something fell through I guess. I heard them speaking of it on the show.
Most of those rides look like thrown together shit. Some of them are nice though. There was a REALLY nice 67 stingray against a blue nova. The stingray guy took the other dudes car. It was one of the shows that featured truly nice stuff. "All out" has nicer stuff I think.

I agree all out does have some nicer cars. With out the threat of losing your ride you will race a nicer car. I would like to see a show where they take diffrent car both stock and mod and do 1/4 mile run, and auto cross ect. Then see they cars do.
