Can't wait for Birdman to show up to their streets and their rules and race. He's been doing some no prep stuff and testing down here and looks to be getting a handle on it.

Especially not without some extreme prefilm prep. The guests are not paid to lose but I bet they are made to race until they have some "good" footage. I will believe nothing on this show. I will spend the time people waste on this silly **** wrenching away trying to get closer to where I want to be in the hobby. I wouldn't waste my time watching any of unreality shows on TV. To each his own but I don't find it in the least bit entertaining.

Still a fun show for most of us no matter if its staged or not. Its still fast *** cars running and a lightly prepped street. Yea, its blocked of and set up to race one, but its not a full prepped track with a 1/2 inch of rubber laid down.

And the 2000hp statement didn't mean that these cars are making that, especially on the street. I was just stating that you can run a high hp car with the control systems they have much easier than what a lot of people think.

You know with TV there is always some aspect of it that's staged it has to be in order to be entertaining and flate to be able to film it. I understand that and take it with a grain of salt but as a whole I do enjoy watching it. I don't know why everyone is so critical of everything nowdays. It's way better than survivor naked and afraid and cnn and fox news crap thats on TV. I bet they make a ton of runs before they have all the right shots.

More people should watch all of the news they can including myself. Though a lot of it is perspective and some of it lies, people's complete ignorance of the world's current events these days is a horrible danger to us all. It is sad people spend so much much time on meaningless BS but refuse to watch the news. More people know who Kim Kardashian is than John McCain.

I have seen enough of it to catch your point. I hope we will see a turnaround really soon. With information from both sides of every fence so readily available, we have no valid excuses.

True true, I hate reality shows ESPECIALLY the kartrashians they all need to jump off a bridge or run across a highway during rush hour.. I do watch outlaws JUST for the cars that's it.. I knew to some extent it was staged.

Same here. A $100 digital antenna will get you all the TV a household should need. On the same idea if you turn off that damn TV the stove seems to come on automatically. LOL

Yup, I get the Texans game and decent local TV when i feel like watching it. NexFlix is $9 a month and keeps me more than entertained when I'm feeling lazy.

Well, I'm a crack head when it comes to sitting on my *** for entertainment. I spend way too much time on my damn Xbox. TV gets me for street outlaws, deadliest catch, hell on wheels, Vikings, and of course, walking dead.... Thank god not all run at the same time in the year.

say what you want but the cars are badass. Yes their are faster cars but, it is a different ball game on the street. At the track they turn them up on the Street you gotta keep it turned down to make a pass A to B. so say what you want but Most of them are Badass. They put The Crow on a Dyno where I am from and made 1800 HP, I say that's not slow.

Any bottom 5 to mid 4 cars that get down on the street like they do is ridiculously fast. When you are trapping anywhere from 130-15x putting even 2/3 of that power down the street is sick.
