Great American Car War TV Show - Photo Request.

[GTAHVIT]

Recently the pilot for a new TV series, GREAT AMERICAN CAR WAR was shot in Jacksonville FL.



The idea for the show is that two shops (Camaro and Mustang) will compete against each other in challenges to see who can get the most out of their cars.

See Post #9 for the photo request.

Here is the write up and a link to their facebook page.

There is a feud that has gone on in the U.S., which is almost as old as the Hatfield's and McCoy's and that is the feud between Chevy and Ford. Ford is "Ford Tough". Chevy is "Like a Rock". The center of the battleground today is the matchup between the Chevy Camaro and the Ford Mustang, as each manufacturer tries to outdo the other. But if you think the feud runs deep with the car companies, you can be sure it runs even deeper between Camaro and Mustang owners and fans.

So, we have brought together two teams of car tuners and enthusiasts to face off with their Camaro and Mustang cars in a competition reality show series called the Great American Car War. The show is sure to have strong emotional connection with its audience.

Each team is assigned a performance shop and competes in challenges to get more out of their car. The team is composed of four people, a team leader and an engine expert, body expert and suspension expert. Challenges range from making the car go faster, stop quicker, handle better plus styling improvements. Challenges are settled by actual testing on the track, on the dyno and with unique focus groups. The show is hosted by the lovely sports celebrity, Jessica Barton, who is an accomplished driver and closely associated with motorsports.

Teams have limited time and budgets for each challenge, but by winning challenges teams collect additional funds that may be used on future challenges or may win help from well known car experts. The use of off-the-shelf parts and accessories will give a how-to feel to the show, so audiences will learn about upgrades they can add to their cars. All cars in the competition will be tested by a professional race car driver.

The use of the Camaro and Mustang are key as over 81,000 Camaros and nearly 73,000 Mustangs are sold each year and these car have been on the market since the mid 1960s. For the most part the owners of these cars are very loyal and spend more money customizing their cars than most other model cars sold.

I love this! Glad to see some competition that the Average Joe can watch/learn and be entertained by. I like that they are using American vehicles and it sounds like they will stick to mods that can be done to stock vehicles.

Sweet!!

Great American Car War is looking for 3 or 4 photos of stock 2012 Camaros that owners would allow us to use in the TV show. Photos need print resolution, so they can be printed as 8x10. Photos must be be taken showing the front of the car and slightly down driver’s side of the car. Ideal photos will be shot from 10 feet in front of the car and 3 feet to the side of the car with the camera 40 inches off the ground. with a 24mm lens on a good DSLR like the attached photo. We are just providing the photo and specs as a point of reference. We don’t expect car owners to necessary match this exactly. We are specifically looking for a couple of Camaros with different color and trim packages. Photos may be uploaded to the Great American Car War Facebook page and we will contact you, if we would like to use your photo.
