/TUNED

Our Review

Matt Farah’s baby. Before The Smoking Tire was an empire, /TUNED was where he went deep on modified cars: the BBi Porsche 911 Turbo S making 650 horsepower, GT-Rs tuned to the edge of reliability, M5s drifted until the tires begged. This was the aftermarket show with real standards. No bolt-on nonsense, no catalog builds. Every car here earned its spot.

The format is simple and it works: Farah drives the car properly, then talks to the person who built it. You learn why each choice was made, what broke, what surprised them. It is the rare tuning show that treats building cars as a craft instead of a shopping list.

It ran on the /DRIVE network through the early 2010s, the golden window when YouTube was funding real car TV. Farah’s honest, funny, and he actually knows how to drive. If you ever wondered what a professional car reviewer sounds like when nobody is watering it down, this is it.
