Street Outlaws

[krowbar]

Does anyone watch this show?Which is your favorite machine?

 

[Mopar-Charger]

The **** :headbang:

 

[Sonny Black]

no, but I might give it a try...is it as stupid as G a$$ Monkey?

 

[Gpuller]

Normally I watch any car show but I just can't watch this one.
To me the only one on there that is a street car is Farm truck. It's the only vehicle that gets driven on the show. To me real street cars are driven. Those are just race cars that get hauled to the race on the street.

Gas Monkey is way better.

I agree that that most are pure race cars,but it's not PROstreet outlaws. It's street outlaws. They are not all street driven, just street raced. I don't agree gas monkey is way better, I think they are jackasses trying to go Hollywood.

 

[roadrunnerman]

I watched one episode and was not impressed. Put a camera on somebody and they'll do/say whatever the producer want them to do to make the show exiting. Just my 0.02.

 

[Bruzilla]

I couldn't make it past the claims of how their cars are the fastest in the country. Just a bunch of dumb hicks who want their 15 minutes of fame.

 

[99ss]

LMAO !! calling trailer queens the fastest street cars in America is the dumbest **** I have ever seen.
Not to mention they are some of the stupidest people I have ever seen on TV. 1/8 mile as well... sorry no respect from me for any of those cars or guys. Most of them cant drive as well and their cars are pieces of ****.

 

[Furyous]

It is funny to see people call these guys dumb a&& and their cars are junk.... I am sure I can get in touch with big chief if one of yall want run one of them on the street to prove that they are slow.

 

[5.7 hemi]

Yeah, farm truck is the only street legal "car" on the show. I think the show's funny, and that they should all get arrested.

 

[krowbar]

I understand that it's mostly all staged,they trailer the cars.... The question was which cars do you like? we all do like a nice fast ride right? Not trying to get into politics about how fake the show is. Which cars?

I like the El Camino. The owners and others on the show claim its a piece of crap with thrown together left over parts. If those claims are true, and for the most part it looks like it, I like the fact that he hasn't lost yet and consistently launches well and drives straight down the track and beats the crap out of the guys with more time, money, and ego invested in their car.

not to get off subject,but that's why I stopped watching PINKS. Now it's just a bunch of high dollar race cars with 6 man teams.I liked it when 2 guys raced what they had and ran the **** out of their cars. More for the little guy working on his own ride than having a full fledged race team.

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got when I was getting into street racing 30 years ago is never, ever, assume you're the fastest car out there, and that was some excellent advice. The best racers were the ones who always assumed the next guy was faster, so they always tried harder. That's why I laugh at these fools when they get off bragging they are not only the fastest in town, but the fastest in the country! LOL Yeah, that baloney may sell with Discovery Channel, but there are lots of guys out there who know better, and most of the best of them aren't in such a sad state that they need their wife to work overtime so they can afford to race their cars.

What's really not reality isn't the scripting or cutting, it's the thinking that a spot on a list and a couple hundred bucks is big time racing. I've been to races where tens of thousands are changing hands after a race and those guys don't care much about their position on a local list that's controlled like a union work roster.

I like the Farm Truck. For a Chevy, it's pretty cool. The guys and Louise are funny, too. Seems like they don't take themselves too seriously, so that's why I like them. I think they'd fit right in with us Mopar guys if they'd get a Dodge truck.

It's an entertaining show as long as you don't believe most of it. I don't buy that the cops would just give them a warning when they catch them out testing. I also think their races are on a closed course. No way they could have their operations all lit up and setup like that and be able to avoid law enforcement.

 

[Budnicks]

I like the Monte Carlo, that is a fast ride.... Then probably the lowbuck black El Crapino... Black 70 Camaro, the fathers car of the father & son team with Camaro's... I hate both of the Mustangs guys/cars, no matter the engine combos, Ford of Chevy !!, squirrel's or the guys that all have "the Short-man mentality", idiots....There also is a Blue Dart also, but haven't seen much on it yet.... The "Farm truck" is/has been a celebrity for years now... I watch it all the time, it's just merely entertainment, it's better than shows like the Kardassians, American Idol, X-Factor, CSI or any other multitude of crappy cop & lawyer shows on TV today, or some other idiot just dating or screwing someone else over today... Car shows, I watch them all, all scripted, all just merely entertainment...

- - - Updated - - -

I think my definition of a street race, varies vastly from some others, even if the show is completely scripted... even the cars on trailers, doesn't bother me, I've seen that many times, guys with allot of $$$ in their cars, don't want to put un-necessary miles on them, the big a$$ lights, lighting up the whole country side, while they "street race" is a dead give away, it's just for the cameras... when did you ever see that @ a street race, other than maybe at Terminal Island, in the late 70's & mid 80's @ organized street events, closed course....

 

[Bee383]

I agree with Budnicks,it's another car show and I will watch most of them.at first i was a little embarrassed that this is filmed here in the Okc area and was'nt too sure about the show.then today I'm talking to the guy that does my trans and diff work and he tells me he built the trans for the farm truck and he was on the 4 th episode.he goes on to tell me more about the show like the cussing is pushed by the producers and that the guys on the show don't like it.maybe I will pay a little more attention...

 

[wedge5]

I watch it also. I watch because it is a car show. I watch Gas Monkey also even though they ruined that Dodge truck. I see there is another street race show on, not sure of the name. It takes place in Compton, CA. Those dudes were betting big money.

"...Fastest street cars in the country..."

OK,homeboys,bring your junk to the Detroit area. Let those guys-in "street" cars-run you around for about 10 or more miles,and then race. Ever heard of the "Top End Club"? Those cats would run the crap out of their rides and then pull onto I-696 and roll to well over a Buck-fitty. The Farm Truck would get props and respect;the rest...not so much. It's done the same up here in the Flint area;you had better drive-not trailer-your ****. Oh,you've also got Chicago(some FAST stuff),St. Louis, and the whole East Coast Grudge Group that can lay claim to potentially the "fastest" street stuff.

Wedge5;what network is this other show on?

I think good old Concord Calif. Boys or even the guys out in Orville Ca., Like Mike M. in the hay day {not sure now} could rival anywhere, for really fast cars... But basically most are just race cars with lic. plates, just like everywhere else, that has fast street car... The truly fast cars, really aren't street driven much {especially with slicks, spool, 8" converters etc.}, no matter the BS they all will tell you, the low 10 sec. cars, like the Farm Truck, yeah maybe !!, but IMHFO beyond that not too many, too much wear & tear on expensive race parts, to drive like a daily driver, or cruise it, it would just wipe the cam or valve springs very quickly, unless it has some form of power adder like N20 - Centrifugal SC or Turbocharger, on a milder actually street-able base engine.... It would be very costly, been there done that...

The SoCal "Brotherhood" in LA in the late 70's-early 80's were no slouches either... Not really sure what the deal is down there now, seen allot of BS about it on a show a few years back thou... there were faster guys but none more infamous than Big Willie
