Any of you guys watch this stuff? Its rather entertaining.

Basically they take two competing drivers and their cars from two opposing forums, do a 1/8 mile run, quick track circuit, and a figure 8 thing. Not entirely all that exciting but its nice to see regular people representing their forums/cars. The trash talking is so funny especially when they end up losing. Check out the episodes yourself.

Regardless, does NAM have an opposing forum? Does the mini have an arch nemesis? I'd love to see mini take on some other fwd cars (si, gti, and scions <- especially scions... dislike scions soo much!)

Sentra Ser Spec V preferably of the B15 type handles almost as well and is about as fast as the MINI

Fiat 500 Arbath would be the historical battle, and I dare say that little Amp'ed up 3cyl engine would give the now much bigger and heavier but more powerful JCW MINI a good run for it's money.

Renault also has a luxury-sport hatch entry that would be a close competition.

I would love to see a VW GTI and MCS race, but only if the driver of the Mini is not an idiot like that 350Z driver and possibly that Evo driver.
