CP Racing on Speed TV

On a new episode of "Tuner Transformation" shown on Speed TV last night the guys worked on a Chevy Cobolt in CP Racings shop. If you look carefully you see all the other vehicles in their shop are 1st Gens - on hoists, under hoists and something with a huge rear wing under a cover.

Check it out

saw it as well.

i was like, "cp racing, where have i heard of that before?" Then after I saw the first gens on the lifts, i'm like "ohhhh, THAT cp racing."

Yeah, they should definetly do an rx7, but not in the way they did the rx8. All they did was slap on some nos, graphics and some bling blin wheels.

The cobalt was pretty good except for the sound system and graphics. Whats with all the japanese/ dragon graphics on a american car? And whatever happend to johnny B?

i think that show kicks ***...i mean look at the other shows they have...in TT they not only look at power and looks but also suspsion and brakes which gets a big plus in my book..i would love for them to have my car on that show rather then pimp my ride. with a 22" sub..

i saw this but only caughst the last 10min or so and i saw a 1st gen to the right of the cobalt...

Last season, I thought that show SUCKED. Watch Sports Car Revolution. That's a good show.

No the show is done in Canada. They are Canadians.
I'm not a big fan of the show but it was worth watching this time!

The "car" shows on G4 are by far the worst shows on the boob tube. I was thinking this show (TT) was crap until they put 240hp on the dyno. It's FWD but at least they do all aspects of the car, and all of the graphics is what the owner wanted.

Did anyone see the one where they made a toyota paseo RWD using a 22R? I was impressed even thought I still wouldn't pimp it.

Personally I liked the Audi A4 they did, looked sweet and performed even better.

Top Gear was the original show that BBC broadcasted, then Speed (****** Fox, turning Speedvision into NASCAR central) got rights to air it and called it "Fifth Gear", and when nobody watched it, they dropped it, and Discovery picked it up, keeping the original Top Gear name
