I think the Super Snake. Bull run is also about longevity as well as reliability and speed. On the last bull run, the Lamborghini had clutch issues, the Oldsmobile just wasn't fast enough, the Scion was driven by a woman....enough said, and most of the other cars broke down. Since Shelby is using a true tested motor that is pretty reliable and plenty fast, I think the Mustang will take it. By the way, I ran into the turquoise Lamborghini from the first episode in a city close to home and had a talk with the owner...still with the Spike TV and Bull Run logos all over it

Yeah a Father Daughter team Firebird last year.

Anyone watch tonight's episode #1?

The Porsche driver was downshifting and trying really hard to jam it into REVERSE. Watch the tail lights.

I couldnt make up my mind if he was Jim Carry or Will Ferrel myself....both are annoying

Solstice might do good since there in their own territory.

Idiots in the Porsche couldnt speed shift/ downshift and blamed it on a bad clutch which seemed to work just fine doing his loosing burnout going home

Found it very amusing blowhard Porsche guys got beat by the VW Microbus that they were laughing at in the begining.

Ferrari surprised me they did pretty good although him and his gf/wife cant seem to say 2 words without fighting. Scarey that she also seems to be a good shot with a gun

Mustang didnt seem to reliable, MASS sensor went out on the trip, had to have Shelby guys get them going, even though its still got some problem.

Lexus girls seem to be purposefull, although driver has a real potty mouth. Have to give it another week to see how it pans out before Ill stick my neck out.

I observed that too, especially the comments from a guy on the other team saying, "he should've drove a automatic"... too funny.

Wasn't there a Fiero in this race a few years ago? Or am I confusing it with a different race. I saw it on ESPN about 10 years back.

and i thought Porsche's were suppose to last quite awhile poor driving..

but i am interested in seeing how well the Pantera because didn't they say the car was built for rallies and auto-xing? then again there is a preview of the show with it on the side of the road so...

there has to be some weird charcteristic list the casting people for the show went by because there are quite a few similarities between season 1 and 2 drivers

The casting of the show, I believe starts with who attends the actual BullRun then gets selected to goto the goldberg challenge bullrun. I say this because I watched the Bull run that happened before season one of goldberg's. In it I noticed the Lotus guys, the father daughter, the New York guys, the lambo guys and the guys in the truck all in it. So the little Car Domain "pick me pick me" section I believe is a car domain publicity stunt and nothing more.

Finally found a torrent. Poor quality but what can you do.

Cool show, but I CANT STAND how Goldberg cant say Porsche right. Is it because I'm part German? Is it because I used to own a 944? I dunno but its annoying as hell

Just watched all 10 episodes of Season 1, and it was definitely enjoyable. I was surprised at how much the team members annoyed their own team mates. But I guess they use the film for those parts because it's probably more interesting.

I never even heard about it because I don't get that channel, and don't really watch much actual tv either. I just wish I hadn't read as far as I did into these posts (so I already knew the winner).

That would be so cool. Most of you can probably fix anything that goes wrong on the side of the road, and it won't take 22 hours to replace a clutch right?

If someone does this, I will volunteer to drive their fiero, or even be the navigator. Can you bring gps? lol

I promise not to argue with my team mate too.

I missed this years official BullRun, but I WILL be there next year, should be my 3rd. Just couldn't get the funds together to finish off the car It's not a race it's a rally, with fun things to do at the end of every "stage." Parties, unofficial challenges and such, hotels are very nice, too. Ahh, fun times, well worth the money if you can afford it. Sometimes the trip pays for itself- I broke even on 2 of the trips. But the last time, I lost a small fortune. I miss being single, sometimes

A Pontiac won last time and it looks good again this year so far. The knuckleheads in the Porsche probably had the best car in the field and they couldn't do anything with it.

A good car is only one third of what it takes to win. Good car, good driver, good navigation. Without all of them you are going home.

Team Pantera got eliminated. They were my favorite team (and car), too.

It's a great show, though... like Cannonball Run meets Survivor.

. I am going to have to stop looking at this thread because you keep telling me what is happening before I get a chance to see it.

That is actually what I really don't like about tv, they keep doing that ......next up, watch as so and so does this, etc....grrr dont tell me, I am already watching let me see it when it happens.

we dont get that speed channel, so I have to wait for it to be on torrent sites.

Everybody hates Team Evo! I don't see them lasting long. I won't miss them either! I don't think that Russian lady will be able to reach the steering wheel in order to drive; good thing she's the navigator! Go team Solstice.

The Potty-mouth Lexus girls are winning. The blind run was too funny, especially with one of the evo guys shouting at the top of his lungs during the blind run test, "turn right, left, go straight...ah," hehe.

I like the Bullrun show and have watched each episode so far.
A Fiero would be very cool but would be an underdog with such a tiny gas tank.
