Street Fury
Street Fury was a TV show on G4 that showcased women and cars. It was hosted by Carlton "Big C" Lewis. Along with Formula D and Fastlane, the show aired Sunday nights, as part of the "G4 Sunday Nights" block. It was at one time the main show for a G4 block called "The Whip Set", but the block name was dropped in late 2005. The show is often criticized for focusing more on scantily-clad models and for portraying negative stereotypes of the African American and Latino communities. The show was produced by G4 Media, and is loosely based on the Tokyopop version of Street Fury.
