True,

But how many people wear fire suits and hemets in their street cars? Or have two steps/delay boxes/ or wheelie bars, or chutes? JMO

Ive personally seen the majority of these cars drive from race spot to race spot and all around the metro. Besides, they said street raced cars, not street cars. But theres alot of true street cars around here that would put a dragging on ALOT of the people ive seen talking ****.

In the opening credits to the show they say they have the fastest street cars in the world. And if you say you've seen them drive the cars on the street for extended amounts of time ill believe it, just every time it shows them going anywhere they're on a trailer, except farm truck lol

Aside from the fastest in the world comment I think my other favorite would be when farmtruck said that his truck would outrun any Ferrari or lambo no matter what was done to it, I doubt he ever ran against a ugr lambo

"Any time you can take a wing off an import that's like taking the holy out of the grail"
-Farmtruck

Sums it up to me. If you can't watch this show with a sense of humor you're watching the wrong show. For Christ sakes I just watch 50 mins of guys circle jerking in the garage and a dog birthday party. In the last 10 mins there was one race and typical smack talk. It's entertainment and nothing more. Regardless of wether or not these cars are what they claim. Not like anybody is going to ride down there to prove different.

A lot of guys run two steps because its easier. Those cars are leaving on the foot brake so a delay box is a moot point. For the wheelie bars and chute, if the day ever comes that I need them on the track bet your *** I'll run them on the street every now and again just for ***** and giggles.

To me if its tagged insured and inspected its legal, therefore a street car. No sense in arguing it though, everyone's opinion is different. May as well argue how street able a Trex is.

Dammit guys for the last time street racing is all about 4 things. Hype, drama, fast cars, and fat dudes in hoodies/beanies.

As for the quote of fastest street cars, see the above bolded item.

All the belly aching and not one swinging dick is coming to prove them wrong yet. $10K callout was made three years ago. Mostly just guys that don't have **** that would hang talking about their friend's cousin's uncle's step kid that has this and that and would beat murdernova. A TT Lamborghini *Might* take the farmtruck in the 1/8th, but until they run deep into the 5s or sub 5.0's in the 1/8th..good luck playing with the big boys.

LMAO You're going to offend someone with that statement... I'm sure of it. I've already seen it once.

Didnt boostedGT from texas come up there last week and smoke #2s *** though? Also in regards to the comment made about a TT Lambo and farmtruck... farm truck only runs 10.20s... thats not ****... theres probably 100s if not 1000s of sub 10 second cars on this forum alone. I dunno what the UGR Lambos run in the quarter but... oh wait nvm... Ill let you tube settle it

Anyone can pick the highest HP Lambo they find for a track car and the best track pass and use it. Hook it on the street from a dig against a truck built for it and see how the tides change with a street tune and normal pump gas.

I see your point but what im saying is to claim a truck that runs 10.20s is one of the fastest street vehicles in the nation is more than a stretch, its a down right lie...

a ugr lambo would be walked by pretty much all the cars on that last from a dig on the street in the 1/8th as well as most cars around the world. Theres always going to be someone faster and anyone can win a race any given day but their statement isn't that far off.

You guys are forgetting its TV. Im sure they are required to wear the safety equipment because of the discovery's channels insurance, same as them running on a closed street/airport. Dont forget its TV nothing is 100% how it would be in real life.

never said that either... if anything they all run worse on the street because of the lack of traction and prepped surface, all im saying is that the farm truck is most certainly not one of the fastest vehicles in the nation/world... this show is nothing but hype.
