Fanboys love to trash anything that doesn&#8217;t carry their badge of choice, but tread on their beloved marquee and the thread turns into Niagra Falls. But rather than frown upon the typical forum vitriol, a report from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/16\/autoblog-podcast-170-the-hooniverse-visits\/\">Autoblog Podcast veterans<\/a> at the Hooniverse shows that <em>Speed TV<\/em> plans to give these automotive fanatics some air time instead.<\/p>\n<p>The new show is called &#8220;Forum Wars,&#8221; and the premise is to give these big talkers track access to replace wimpy words with tire-smoking action. You think your pristine <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/Challenger+SRT8\">Dodge Challenger<\/a> is better than a Mustang forum owner&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2008\/04\/07\/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-ford-mustang-bullitt\/\">Bullitt<\/a>? You may have a chance to take it to the track to decide who&#8217;s right, once and for all. The show is scheduled to hit the airwaves on Monday, April 5, with the inaugural episode pitting a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/shelby+gt500\">Shelby Mustang GT500<\/a> against a <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/tag\/350z\">Nissan 350Z<\/a>. Drivers will hit the bends and take on the straightaways at a drag strip, so all bases are covered. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/26\/speed-network-to-bring-my-car-is-better-than-yours-inte\/#continued\">Hit the jump<\/a> to view <em>Speed TV<\/em>&#8216;s 30-second show promo.
