I saw a commercial for a show called Grudge Race last night. Had all the feeling of Pinks but with Willie G as the host. I dont care much for his TV persona on his show 2 Guys Garage, 

 

Maybe this will be different, I hope.

I have seen parts of a few episodes.  It is a bit like pinks, but only involves two cars.  Not bad, not great?  I probably haven't seen enough to give judgment.

There used to be a show on MTV that actually had a pretty interesting format, two competitors brought their cars, had to choose among a selection of performance upgrades based on a credits budget (like coilovers, wheels & tires, turbo kit etc...not the typical muscle car shinies!), and then raced on a small track (not wheel-to-wheel, but in a time trial) for pinks. The show's biggest weakness is that it felt incredibly rushed, the competition was basically a quick montage of trackside footage and then the winner was announced. I can't find any info on it, anyone know what I'm talking about?

I saw something similar to that with the "Forza" name.  "Forza Challenge" maybe?

 

I remember there was a good variety of cars with an absolute douche owning a corvette and a professional drifter driving a 350z.

 

When i saw it,there were more than  twocars though...  maybe 5 or 6?

Watched an episode last night. Its almost exactly like Pinks, Its produced by the same people, Pullin entertainment. This one has a cute little thing that executes the demands of the winner, On this episode the winner wanted the losing trucks hood, steering wheel and tailgate. Winner also picked up some ESAB equipment, thermal management stuff, a toy pro tree and a nitrous kit.
