My thoughts on the show are this....

1. The host is a jackass and deserves to get beat down.
2. They say its not street racing but yet they treat it like street racing.
3. The races are cool but the host makes the negotiations suck.
4. They need to whip out episodes faster

it fucking breaks.

look at the horsepower of the cars you see break, and look at the power of the ones that don't. You'll notice there is a connection between power and breaking shit. it's a power thing not a domestic/import thing.
I will agree with you on that. Maybe I should have made it more clear that domestic stock breaks down or on average more than an stock import meaning an import you can get way more mileage out of then a domestic I should have explained it better and yeah it is a horsepower thing the more power the more potential for breakage.

No I am not displaying ignorance I just needed to explain myself better, I am at work when I posted the reply and didn't have time to explain it better in full. I agree with HighPSI TSi Guy that its a power thing not a domestic vs. import about reliablitly when making big power but when comparing street cars that are mostly stock imports seem to run longer on mileage and don't break down like a domestic vehicle does on average.

Just a little insider information- the guys don't keep the car, obviously. The loser can buy it back at the end of the show for exactly 100 dollars. The very first episode involved a guy from a message board based on street racing in Houston, and he and his crew posted everything people wanted to know about what was real and what wasn't. So yeah, pretty much defeats the purpose of getting people to watch when you find out it isn't quite for slips. Of course, the losers aren't obligated to buy back their car, but who the hell wouldn't? No one actually needs to call a cab to get home with the contracts they have to sign in order to participate and race.

Actually it was chicago......

My thoughts on the show..

One the host is a idiot, And two they need to stop taking a fucking commercial break every time they start each race.

Also I think that if you cant run at all with a car heads up.. It not real race. People on that show lose cause they start giving 5, 10, 15 car length head starts, And its not there fault you didnt have a car up to par and need head starts to make it fair..I think its bull shit. On the other hand I can see out on the streets if you are FWD or RWD running a AWD and get a few car head starts, Or running something with drag radials or slicks vs street tires.

You're right. I confused them from Houston because there was a huge drama thread on another board I frequent where the guy who went on Pinks from "chi-town" pussied out after an open challenge to anyone on the board.

Yea but what im saying is tuning plays a crucial part in a motors life span. And yes iron kicks ass.... But still. As an example I remember a while back people would say o with a prelude on stock sleeves and bottom end can never hold up to boost like a GSR bottom end, basically trashing on their stock sleeves compared to GSR Iron sleeves, but what people failed to know and probably tell you is when their preludes turbo'd failed on them and crap'd out on them is that they ran lean and died. I know people with stock prleude sleeves with 400+whp tuned on race gas running at the track like that for like 2 years.

Hence why it looks like street racing....
