Street Outlaws

Wouldn't it be better for the car is the drivers weren't so fat?

It's a show about *racing*, yet there's way too much senseless talking about nothing. I want more details about each car. Horsepower, nitrous, turbocharged, supercharged, stroker engine, displacement, etc, etc, etc. They don't even give numbers for each race: trap time & speed. Dumb show. Maybe I'm too spoiled with Iron Resurrection, Fast n Loud, Counting, Cars, and the best of them all: Roadkill, where they actually talk about the cars themselves.

This show is terrible, could be one of the most unbearable car related TV shows I've ever watched. Not because of the content, but because of the filming and editing. You have all these amazing and gorgeous looking rides yet your filmers can't take a decent car shot. The multiple angle one frame super fast sequence change is the worst, it not just makes my head hurt but if you blink, you might even miss the appearance of the car itself. The race sequence in general is edited below any critics. And that makes them so short and the talking part - too long, which seems the show mostly consist of. Even on youtube you will find amateurs with better filmed and edited drag races. For God's sake show off those rides, you don't have to make that 8 sec race just 8 seconds of the show. Take "Pinks" for example which doesn't have nowhere near as big budget but makes the show desirable and exciting to watch.

The show has really improved now that they are racing in the "No Prep" series. It's much more organized, and fair. They don't have Big Chief on the show much anymore and that is the best part. He's not on there manipulating the races, or stalling or backing down at the last second. I guess Big Chief and Murder Nova can't even compete in the No Prep because they are too slow, or once again, can't manipulate things. Maybe they will disappear altogether like Varley did. The real stars of the show are now shining, along with other real racers from around the country. It's now a show about racing and it's kind of exciting watching now, and nor just a bunch of hicks telling corny jokes and crazy antics all of the time.

Nothing wrong with watching people build, prepare and race drag cars. That's what this show is supposed to be about. It is let down badly by taking up time with those involved pretending to be tough and cool. Join that together with the alleged unscripted trash talk and those moments make it embarrassing.
