I'm starting this up now... since we have a fairly reliable list of cars, there's no reason we can't start smack talking NOW!

My predictions:

Hennesy Viper: too much power, they will face the same problems Mike and Spiro did with the SuperSnake. The car isn't made for long distance driving, and if it breaks, they will never find parts for it.

New Challenger: Well-rounded car, if they do well in the challenges they have a real shot at it.

Corvette: another well-rounded car, good possibility

Lexus: it's a monster, for sure... but we saw the guys with the 240SX go down in flames because they didn't have time to sort out the engine swap thoroughly. Hopefully they can keep it running.

Acura NSX: I don't like Hondas, but the NSX is a proven performer. If they haven't modified it too much, it should do well. Not sure about it's streetability, though.

VW Bug: Hells yes, the car was built from the ground up for this race. 'nuff said.

HemiCuda: my favorite muscle car of all time. Same power as the new Challenger, but depends on how well it was put together.

Hummer: comic relief.

Mini: somewhat lacking in the speed department (compared to the other cars) it may very well catch everyone by surprise. Those things can take a lot of abuse.

Lambo: see Season 1.

Mach 1: probably the only Mustang I actually would drive. Solid car, insane drivers, they could win it.

BMW: Very well rounded car, very capable. Hope it doesn't break.

Your rating: None

I say top three to be; Bug, Challenger and Mach 1. They'll end up dukin it out in the end. All three of these teams are well sorted with well rounded cars. But definately, Good Luck to All !!!

Meh I like Bug, Mach 1, and the Cuda.  ( Sorry Johnny.)  They all 3 have good drivers, and were built by people whom know cars, and have been working with them their whole lives.  Stranger things have happened though.

I predict without my rugged good looks, ratings will decline in Season 3.

I hate that I know some of the people, so its hard to root for one. But Im gonna have to stick with my roots and go Mini as long as they are there. I would be glad to see Aaron win though, he tried to get on here for so long

I have a feeling that the Lambo will make it a lot farther than the Lambo in Season 1 did. The drivers are rally veterains, and any fan of Bullrun knows them as rally legends. They can drive, and they can navigate.

Hint: Team Lambo drove a Hummer H2 to a third place podium finish in the Bulklrun 2008 and drove a transformed police cruiser to a third place victory in the Bullrun 2009. Anyone know who it is?

The Lambo guys from season 1 were just show offs, they couldent drive and thought doing donuts would get them to the finish, resulting in a burnt out clutch.

Yeah. I didn't like them too much. In Season 2, I was hoping that the Ferrari would haave lasted a bit longer. I wanted them to outlast the Lambo... The Lotus did very well in season 1 though.

I predict that the VW Beetle, Hummer H3, and Challenger make it far. How far, I'm not too sure.

Never underestimate the power of Wu! LOL!

Yeah, I am friends with Wu on facebook and a few days before the rally started, he posted pics of his lambo in the purple camo wrap and said that he was going on a road trip for a few weeks. One of his friends commented on the photos and said "Good luck on Bullrun Bill!"

I predict all but the Hummer H3 with you here I think the silent one fills the third spot here, Team Corvettron

I'm sticking with my original picks: Aaron's had a loooonnnggg time to get the bug sorted, The Challenger is a no breaking type of car, and Tony could practice neutral drops all day in the 'Stang without breaking it. After building my own long distance cars in the past, I can attest to the KISS! law. Keep It Simple Stupid! A ton of HP isn't needed but the ability to toss it around and NOT break is needed. Hell, I even built my junk to withstand a bash into a curb.

PS.      H-3's belong at the mall after the kiddies have been dropped at school.

I tend to agree with you, man. Too much HP = unreliable. Familiarity with the car is also crucial.

And every time I see an H3 around town, I just roll my eyes... I'm not gonna dog someone here for owning one, but I can't stand 'em. However... Brock Yates did one of the original Cannonballs in an ambulance. You just never know.

If the challenges are like season 1 and 2, the Lambo does not stand a chance.

It might if Bill Wu is driving it... that dude's a beast. But I'm still not betting on it.

THere was much talk about "changing the game" and whatnot, I think they threw a few monkey wrenches into the rules this time around to level the playing field. I'm really looking forward to seeing what exactly they changed, and what crazy twists they will think up.

I'm still not a fan of dirt challenges, since most of the rally isn't driven on dirt. Most of the nation's highways aren't dirt, and most performance cars aren't set up to run on dirt.  Of course, that could very well work in my favor if I were on the show... so it's a mixed blessing/curse.

I think they should make them do 50% dirt and 50% pavement challenges. I have a dirt oval car and it's by far the most fun racing I've ever done. KEEP THE DIRT! it separates Men and Women from Boyz and Girlz.

(it actually just separates alot of men and women but who cares)

Okay, now that I've watched the audition videos, I've got a few more thoughts about the teams! I was surprised at home many "wimminz" are on the show this season. So here is my predictions, updated to account for the videos.

The Viper: I predict that they go down in flames. Seriously, the navigator could barely fit into the car... too much car, not enough experience, in my opinion.

Challenger: I like these guys a lot. They're genuine, good drivers, fun to watch, and have a solid car. Still probably in my top 3 unless they screw up (which goes without saying).

Corvettron: You guys crack me up. I hope you go far. Don't get too goofy!

Lexus Ladies: She can drive, but I still think engine swaps are a bad idea for this race. If the car holds together, who knows.

Acura: I think those guys are clowns. Very young, they may make rash decisions that impact their success. The car is sick!

VW: Aaron is a killer wrapped in a big goofy grin. He'll crack jokes all day long, but he wants to win. Bad. And he's got the car and skills to pull it off.

HemiCuda: Darling, if good looks could win this race, you'd have all the bases covered (car and driver). I think this team will go far, the car is capable... the 5-speed will help with mileage and drivability (is that a Keisler setup?)

Hummer: comic relief.

Mini: I was actually shocked to see the driver/nav for this team. I don't know if they were going for the "country hick" vibe, but I think they were trying a bit too hard. He's got a Viper, so he's familiar with driving. These guys have what really counts: a quick reliable car, experience, and experience.

If the editors use kazoos for these guys' intro like they did for Team Dart, I will personally ask Andy to fire whoever it was that did it. That was just stupid.

Lambo: This is a real wildcard. Bill Wu is a master at high-speed rallies, but I think he will be heavily penalized and at a disadvantage without his array of electronics... Does he rely on them too much? We'll find out. If the car breaks, they're screwed. And I think his co-driver is annoying. There, I said it.

Mach 1: funny guys, great car, they have experience and determination. Very good chances. Everybody will like them... and then they wil open up cans of whoopass.

BMW: I'm laughing, because I feel their pain about buying something they can't afford. I'm predicting they're going to lose the farm... the 335 is a nice car, but I don't think they can pull it off. Not enough miles under their belts, I'm guessing. We'll see.

 

Any other thoughts?

Oh I know anything can happen... nobody predicted the trucks to go as far as they did in the last 2 seasons. And the midget might have crazy driving skills, I really don't know... but if they have a challenge where the drivers have to run back and forth, his day is going to suck. :)

Can't wait to see how close we came! I Just wanna see some Superfans kick tail!

We are all secretly pulling for you too... but we all know what can happen (and usually does) when a parent and their sibbling get into a vehicle together. I'll pull for you... I just won't put any money on you. By the way, tell your Dad he did a super nice job on the car (and you helped wash it well). Musta been hard to refrain from lickin the windows! HA!

above all bullrun the TV show is just that...... A  REALITY TV SHOW... not a race,,, it was still the most fun i have ever had in a car and they cant take that from me :)
