Fastest Car

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.

In typical American reality-TV fashion, there's an endless amount of cheesy dramatisation and very little actually working on the cars. Everything is so painfully , it feels like the show is made for people with IQ below 70; Supercars owners are intentionally chosen and framed to be as obnoxious as possible and the underdog car builders are have the same repetitive sob-story. Way too much BS and way too little racing and building.

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

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.

While it's interesting to watch these cars and the effort that goes into them... Why oh why does every driver have a son story and end up in tears!?

Driver 1 "I'm doing this for my dead mother" que tears.

Driver 2 "my wife divorced me" que the water works.

Driver 3 "my best friend's dog passed away" que the deluge.

That's pretty much every episode. It starts to grind on your gears (excuse the pun).
