Fastest Car

What is great about this series, is the people and their stories. Not only is the Fastest Car filled with neat vehicles for gear heads, but it features amazing stories of struggle and perseverance. I love this production.

It's a great show. I love the stories behind the racers and the cars and almost every time the winning car surprises me. The episodes should have been a little longer to squeeze more footage of building the cars and racing. I enjoyed it. Supercars were boring.

It's not about the race. It's about the people and their cars. Each episode introduces us to four new drivers (plus friends and family). The show is about their stories, which unfold as they prepare their cars for a 10 second drag race; three sleepers (souped-up piles of junk) against one bona fide supercar. The people and the cars are what the show is about. The race is just how each episode ends. If you want to watch racing, pick a different show.

Definitely a really well done show. There's a lot of focus on the people behind the cars- their motivations, back story, and what they hope to accomplish from the race. You get to learn a little bit about the cars and what's under the hood, but it's not just about trying to match up cars with known quarter mile times and racing against a supercar that also has a known quarter mile time. That certainly wouldn't be good TV. Instead, it's about drivers, their sleeper cars, and stories about real people.

I enjoy fact that the supercar drivers aren't just "rich assholes" looking for kicks. They have their own stories as well, and the contrast with the sleeper car drivers is certainly interesting.

Love this show. I especially love watching bad ass ladies destroy supercars. Love seeing boxes race against supercars. Such a cool idea. More please.
