Those cars are crazy fast for being on the street....there is video if the white mustang going very low 5's in the eighth....the faster cars on top of the list are said to be in the high 4's low 5's. AGAIN race cars ran on the street not street cars. They claim the roads are not prepped like a track but that they do burnoose with pimp juice which does put list of rubber down on the road....lots of schit talking as well. They called out anyone on YB willing to race them on the street for 10k a couple of years ago and not one person took them up on it.
Yes Tod I can accept race cars run on street. Makes more sense and I think that is what we have been saying all along here on this thread. But Thats not how they are selling the show. They are making people think its street cars street racing or street racing for sure..Its in their title " Outlaw Street ". I watched one show and noticed right off it was filmed on a closed concrete road,Burn out box with 60 ft timer boxes. If they are on an airport runway there would be no need for down track prep. The runways are gooved cut and provide crazy traction. It has to in order land jets in rain etc.
I am not gonna say there are no 4sec cars cause there could very well could be. I am saying I didn't see it the episode I watched and I own and Drive a 4 second door car. I know what they look like. As far as being crazy fast for the street I agree it would be but so far I have not seen them run on street. Your car Tod would be considered fast on street. Most Drag cars would be considered Crazy Fast on the street...I am sure there is some smack talk happening on YB..Always has been. I am sure whoever did not CALL by PHONE the right grudge racer or they would have got their wish. Everybody talks smack on the Internet ( My experience )..YB is king of the smack talk sites.
