Street Outlaws

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.

Why couldn't they complete 16 races in 3 hours last night. They shot arguments and chatter about how someone is going to whip someone, but can't get 16 7 second races in. They run one race and then have 12 to 16 commercials. Now they are going to continue till next week, races 15 and 16. I'm done watching 2:45 min of commercials on a Tuesday night.

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.

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.

As a former female street racer, I used to LOVE this show! The original premise was great and pretty darn realistic! But somewhere along the line, big Chief turned into an egotistical a-hole, Asian & Farmtruck became a joke, and the whole premise overall just went downhill for me. I prefer the Memphis edition these days....
