I'll get it... but I won't pay for it.... :wink:

But it's the closest to a real street racing video there is... no plot, but lots or mostly real street races ...
We asked people to come a be shot for the opening (intro to the DVD), not for street racing....all the racing is real,150% ask around, you are from here, ask the MFBA ask anyone in there....the intro is the only oart that is produced obviously!!!!!!! Just wanted to clear that up.

About not payin for it...do as you wish, i am not here to tell you right from wrong...we are not ricers though and shouldn't become them! Support is what keeps good products churning out!!! Or you can just watch "Street Fury Chrome".

I bought this dvd a while ago, it wasnt bad but it could have been better.

id have to watch it again to remember why exactly, but some of the replays, some lack of music, and repadativeness got old. And the corny intros didnt help me either , and the 20 minutes of track drag racing got really old, it felt like it was never going to end.

But im not trashing on it, it had some good races in there and some fast cars, Id like to see more stuff like in the extras next time like goofing off and doing stupid stuff, and more stuff like what you guys did with the vette.

I dont feel like my money was wasted so give it a try

It's cool but here's some constructive criticism.

Too much track time

not enough trash talking

bad bad bad intros (they were worse than a high school project)

Have some "feature cars" where you give a detailed run down

Get Harlan's car in there

People are asking for girls. The best way is to integrate girls rather than
doing a solid 5 minute block. It's not like it's spankage material.

I'm not buying the 2nd one unless I hear it's WAY more professional than the first.

real street racing is too secretive to watch for 2 hours. I recommend mixing it up with some fun races where we can actually see what's done to the cars.

One cool thing would be to build a sleeper and introduce it at the beginning and give all the info and then show all the asses you smoke with it. (like parish8's videos)

We are always greatful for support, happy customers and constructive criticism.

Your points are well taken.... we tried to mix it up as much as possible...some folks wants girls, some dont..me...I like em, everywhere, naked!!!!LOL

I TOTALLY agree about the trash talking, too many consultants without ***** that talk you into stuff, know what I mean!

Intros.... well same as above man, we are not actors, we are street racers, althoug, we have been taking some lessons as thier is interest in a series for TV (LS1tech is the FIRST to know about this) dont ask me when and where, cause I cant say.
Let me just say this, acting lessons is the GAYEST and most frustrating thing I have ever done.....really sucks...not as easy as it would seem, 18 hours a day of being annoyed is a great way to put it.

Feature cars, definately, WHO IS DRAGGING BUMPERS ON THE STREETS FROM HERE....lets hear it and get it on part II along with our new F-body!

The Track...it was the first event of its kind...some really fast ****...now, its been done, so we will all just have to keep that in the memory banks! try to have a shorter segment on that! Althoug there will bo some events coming to a track near you!

I think I have just about covered it....Thnaks for the lookout though, we appriciate it.

You guys are on the verge of making something really ground breaking! If you can make all of the above happen, you might be suprised at how out of control your sales could get.

Maybe your movie will be a major factor that curbs the trend of riced out civics by showing more people about real fast cars.

Hey, your video rocked and I know the next one will be even better, but you've got to know someone who can do the intros better! I know you want to be in it and all but...

It's kind of like food. Even if you make the best tasting caserole, if it looks like sh*t, no one is gonna like it. It's all about the presentation. Think of the intros as garnish.

BTW, I'll still buy the 2nd one even if it isn't "way" more professional.

LOL, Actually, we didnt want to be in it...consultants, ARGGG, although, with the acting lessons and such, we looked at ourselves and were quite surprized, although I wont quit my day job!.
It is amazing though the reponce, we werent even ready for it...but it is that way becasue it is REAL.......unbelieveable what has happened....maybe F-bodies on slicks and skinnies is gonna be the trend that we set.....no more giganto wings and such on the street....wouldnt that be great!!
Not all this F&F crap, no shaky cameras, professional shooting and all that, plus countles of my hours in the edit bay!!
What do you guys think of a show..(cant say what network yet) but it will be a major one...I am working on the script........let me hear your ideas.

I agree. I didn't even finish watching the video I was so bored.

1. Too much of the sameeee ****. Same cars in multiple races, 10 minute long burnouts, too much preparations, etc.

2. WTF was 20 minutes of the TRACK doing in a video about "real street racing" .... hummm.

3. At least SOME info about the mods of the cars would be nice. I felt it somewhat pointless to watch 2 firebirds race, when I had no clue why one of them was winning by buslengths ....

4. More integrated women would definately be a plus.

5. Music ... why do we have cool music every so often, but then it ends randomly?

6. Intro's ... I think that has been covered, but they were wayyyy to long, and waaayyy to unprofessional.

7. Replays ... who the hell wants to see a full length replay of something they JUST SAW 10 seconds earlier?

Last but certainly not least ... if you are going to charge $20 something dollars for a video, it should be a professional quality video, with professional quality sound/editing/camera's etc, and this just was not. Half the time I couldn't even see what was going on. If the footage is too dark to see, you shouldn't include it.

Sorry boss, but for me to turn off a video about racing, something must have been terribly wrong.
