Brand Battle - Ford vs Chevy vs Mopar vs All Others

72_Chevy_C10 Tuesday, 10/21/2014

Hey Guys,

This idea came up today and I thought it deserved it's own thread...

We all have our favorite brand, so here is a chance to fly your colors! Let's make it a middle weight race (57 grams), 2-car teams (both cars to be the same manufacturer),  fte's, drilled rivets, American manufacturers,  standard sizes. No restrictions on the year of the car, just the make.

The Sedan Shootout will be early in 2015, so maybe we'll do this after that race. 

Oh, and at each race we'll take the top 4 of each brand and do a 16-car shootout!

What do you think?

In the Factory Wars race, everyone had 5 different brand cars, but I think in this one, each racer should fly their own colors...if you are a Chevy guy, run Chevys, Dodge guys, run Dodges, Ford Guys, well, try to keep up! :) Sorry, I had to!

No Import cars, just American production cars....what weight do we want to run? 57 grams? 40 grams.

Thanks Guys!

I just wanted to revisit this post. I've re-thought how I might do it...with the Trans-Am race looming in the distance, I have been tinkering a bit with some Camaros.

And I think it might be cool to have a 'Pony Wars' race...everyone running a Mustang (of any era) and a Camaro (of any era). This would be a while off, but, I just wanted to see if there would be interest in a Mustang/Camaro shootout race?
