Word on the streets was it was a tester show. DC showed it to see if it would gain intrests of viewers and if it would be a good hit. But sadly, since the import world is full of haters, many of the viewers were bashing, hating, cappin, knockin on the show. If people would give it a chance, changes could be made to portray the scene in a more realistic way... possibly a way a truw enthusiast views scene. But since everyone is so quick to bash chances of that happening are slim.

yea, because to have an accurate perception of the import scene, there should be an exclusion of civics, right? hopefully there will be plenty of sweet tibs

The concept of the show is good enough, but the execution of the race and the technical inaccuracies in the script are simply unacceptable to me.

I'm having trouble remembering the specific errors.. but I somehow remember the ZEX nitrous kit on the Mk1 Eclipse being hyped up as an "explosive" power-adder, as if to imply that the technology was somehow on the cutting edge...as if no-one had ever used NO^2 before.

I'd be much more impressed if they left the theatrics and F&F hype behind.
