Ok guys, here is my opinion on this DVD.

I liked the racing, I liked the cars. But all of us who work on our cars are gear heads. I want to know at least some of what the cars had in them. It's not fun to watch races that are just happening withou knowing a little about the car that's racing so you can gudge or predict the outcome. This makes it more fun to watch. Overall, I liked the DVD. In the next one, I would love to see more technical info on the cars that are in the video. I realize getting that information from the owners while out there is kinda a bitch, especialy in the midst of all the trash talking. I'm sure however that if you told them that they would be part of a sucessfull selling DVD and their car might be fetured, they would spill thier guts out and tell you what they have all the way down to what type of head gaskets they were using.

Hey, I am the owner of the GreenZ. At that time and Im not joking it was a "Garage Sale Shortblock" in the car. I bought it from a guy in indiana. When I bought the car I picked it up from my buddy and he had gernaded the engine. I was only able to salvage the cam. It was Comps Nitrous cam, Heads that were done by myself and a stock 4L60E, with at that time a 3900 Vigi non lock up and a 3.73. It went 10.70s-.80s up here all day on a 150 dry shot. Down there I upped it to 200. I changed the stall to a TCS 3400 Lockup 9/11 and put a fogger on it. With a 200 shot it dropped to 10.40-.50s and the best 60 ft if ever cut was a 1.43 on a 10 bolt mind you

Its getting some other special things done to it now that I cant speak of since the next upcoming DVD. For the Silver Hatch its a 302 Based motor with a little spray The EZ Money Notch was......well....no one can ever find out that!

My friend got me the dvd for x-mas. It is badass! Great video. I agree though with knowing some of the mods like it could say bolt-ons, or turboed, or sprayed. That silver mustang was badass! I was sad that nobody ran it.

Come over to my shop and film my madness. (see sig)

Seriously, I'm still on vacation at my folks (near Chicago) and was startled to see an ad for your DVD on the E! network here on cableTV. I still thought this was still kinda "underground". Guess NOT! That's cool and I hope the marketing pays off. Better get off my butt and order a copy.

Decent video... Most all the issues with the video have been covered.. So I don't have much left to say. I'm looking forward to part 2.

Peace,

not bad just watched it yesterday. everything has pretty much been said. except for the next one try to get some actual fast cars on the street. the only cars that were fast were in the track section. most were just quick street cars. if you want pm me and i can hook you up with some footage of some vars around here that run for decent money. most are between 8.20- 9.60 cars some faster a few slower. but all quicker than what was shown on the movie running on the street.

And this is on the street that you will get these cars? We will try any of those head up down here as long as its a 10.5 tire car. Since we only have "Quick street cars"

OK, I didn't say that they didn't. I just said that the silver fox "EZ Moneys" street car had to be in the 10's by what it looked like. All I know if I had a car running in the 8's or whatever they run where you are from I wouldn't run it on the street. Because it is a drag car and anything crazy can happen. But back on topic, DVD was GREAT!

Default Scam Dvd

SCREW THE REPLAYS

SCREW THE BURNOUTS

WHO THE HELL SHOT THE H-TOWN CHAPTER- did you d.a. realize that you missed all the big action, either that or you dorks must be from
CHI-TOWN. H-TOWN has just as many or probably more big cubed fat tire rides out here. Funny how ya'll left that out. Unless you plan on chaging that on the next SCAM, don't send a reminder to me. Bring that weak *** Chicago crap out to Houston and ya'll are going home broke and you freeks know it, and that is the main reason the TEXAS part was so short just like your girlie *** d...s. I'M OUT

I've had the video for almost a year and still watch it. I agree on some action from NY although I know Fountain Ave. is shut down. There's gotta be some heavy hitters there as well as Chi-town. Scandalous guys, ignore the haters with personal beef, it was an excellent first effort and certainly miles better than the others I have seen. Keep up the good work and I can't wait for "Two and the Bust "

Default Finally got it

Finally got the DVD today... OH man words cant describe how bad *** it it. I bought some of those Ricer street racing DVDs they sell in the mall at those movies stores.. man those suck ***... they had some muscle cars on it but nothing like this DVD does. I miss Houston sooo much, Iowa sucks ***, Im moving back to Htown as soon as schools over with. Man where im at the fastest cars are in the high 11s low 12s area... i know how houston cars can be, i went to high school with a dude with a 5.0 stang who was running low 9s. I dont think my WS6 could ever be as fast as some of those cars in the DVD, but if i hit 11s or high 10s id be happy. Ok enough talking from me.. Cant wait till Number 2 comes out.
