Discovery's "street Outlaws"

Pretty well sums it up.

Yeah but it's still fun to watch.

I honestly can't get into the car based television. I used to watch two guys garage and all of that years and years ago. Anymore, all of these tv shows seem to be unrealistic and otherwise horrible. If I want to watch some real racing I will just head to the track. If I'm looking to see how a project is turning out or want to watch something be built I simply walk out into the garage.

I can't relate to the unlimited budget that these tv networks have and the work that the tv hosts pretend to do.

Over and Out

I miss Pass Time

You mean it's BS that people like Nick @84Ttop and @srtthis aren't putting their incredibly expensive 7/8 second cars on trailers and looking to illegally drag race them on un-prepped roads and winner gets to cut the loser sleeves off? Come on Nick, you know you rev on the ricer geeks on the way back from Taco Bell and throw half eaten Dorito Loco Taco on their windshield

@FoxMustangLvr I have personally seen some very radical cars raced on the street for some serious amounts of money but that scene is nothing like what they portray on the tv show. I personally don't condone street racing and refuse to be a part of it with my car. I may however be guilty of reving my engine at hondas and picking on street bikes all while choking on a Doritos Locos Taco.

@90lxwhite A friend of mine has actually tried to get involved in some racing with the "farm truck" He has gone as far as contacting the tv network and is willing to take his truck out to OK from NJ and would legitimately be able to hang with the crowd out there. They have refused his offer on more than one occasion which doesn't lend the tv show to having much credibility in my eyes.

My personal experience with the murder nova guy (i've seen 20 minutes of one episode and am no means the authority on "street outlaws")
We were out at the PRI show last year and they had the murder nova at the show on display. There were some very good looking asian women that were working for one of the manufactures there looking at the nova. The owner walks over (with his over inflated head) and asks them "do you know who I am?" they all replied with a no and he actually looked pissed off that they didn't know who he was. This was priceless! My buddy walks over to the crowd and started to ask him questions about the "illegal" street racing and he proceeded to tell us that the police are contracted to close the roads that they film on and such (like we all couldn't figure that out anyway) that conversation quickly turned to him bragging about his new sponsor Precision turbo. Congrats @sshat on letting a little success in the tv world go to your head. Maybe we could have the show renamed OK Shore and the stigma can be shifted away from NJ, lol

Those guys were filming up here in st. Peters a week or two ago, had the cops shut down the road they were gonna use, which is more proof of how completely fake that show is.

This.

I usually watch every car show available but this one I'll have to pass on.

I actually like to watch them race. Some mean cars involved with that show. The "people" on there I could care less. Their "fastest street racer" bs gets old quick but I find the show entertaining enough to watch. It also reminds me when I was young and stupid. Used to "street race" for cash a lot in the early 90's. That was when a 12 sec street car was one of the quickest/badest around.

Y'all didn't think it was fake when they have races you see sunbelt rentals temp light poles that shine the roads like a airport freeway. I'm sure if they were illegal they wouldn't let the cops see them from miles away lol. The only time I really thought there was truth was when doc got caught with his new motor doing a test
