Hey Did anyone on here see it? I just saw the show. I thought is was decent, two nice LS1. At the start of the show when they "profiled" the cars it looked like instead of putting Z28 they put v28. The show raised some qusetions with me, How do you hide a nitrous kit in a headlight? Where the cars both M6's or was one A4?

Yeah, I saw it a little while ago. Pretty cool show i guess. The green Z28 was A4, don't know about the other car. And yeah, they did write v28 on the car's profile.

It was a 97 camaro (LT1) that won not two ls1's, I'm a little confused though I thought LS1's were unbeatable yet he got yanked even with an 8 length start.

Not on that show. One guy left early and the other guy chased but then slammed on the brakes. They did the race over. GAY!



A CHASE IS A RACE! ALWAYS!

why is this in the street racing section? that mis-cast host said right in the first episode "this isn't street racing, i don't want to hear any more of that street crap"

selling the car back to the loser just makes it even more pathetic.....show needs some major tweeking if it's gonna make it past the first tapings.....

I totally agree. It wasn't what I expected at all. I thought it was going to be run what you brung, heads up sort of deal. Just one race not several races. I think they need to change several things about the show.

The show was pretty lame. It was all about the drama of the guys arguing, and very little about the actual racing.

The producers need to decide where the show is going. The host was yelling “this isn’t a street race!” Then why the hell are you spotting car lengths and starting the race by dropping your arms????

I personally think that they should show the TV audience the times the cars ran. It would give the viewers a little more insight and make the show more interesting.

Yes, but keep in mind the LT1 had a 250 shot and the LS1 only had a 50 shot.

green Z was obviously an A4 (in car camera) and the 00 LS1 was too because of the talk at the beginning about the torque converter.

Yea, i saw this show too. I thought the Green z28 was an LS1 judging by the front end? Maybe i was so tired i couldnt tell but i could have sworn it was a 98+ front end. The other car was a black trans am i believe. What i didnt understand was how the TA was supposed to be "stock" on a 50 shot with the Z28 being fully built with a friggen 250 shot and the TA even holding 10 car lengths. Seems too me the z28 should have won much greater, but im new to this so what do i know. HAHA. all i know is the show needs to give more info on cars and mods and post the times.

the 97 hada 98+ front conversion its the scandalous racing car the guys from u got the hit are on his team. its fully built. the bird was supposed o be stock motar with i dont know wat and small shot a spray. they need to change the show to a heads up whos faster race they should prenegotiate the mod limit like money amout or number of mods and then they should straight up drag race. they should also kill the host right when he starts talkin just have the producers hand hem guns and as soon as he starts yappin blow his ****** head off.

"can you hit me from 15 lengths?"

"no, i'm gonna need 10 and a sniper rifle"

"how about 12, but i give you two shots and a magic bullet?"
