Will get gapped by any of the top 5.

Will get gapped by any of the top 5.

If they hook.

Though, not bad for a small tire'd 3600 lb car.

 

[NasteeNate]

everyone is promod now.

 

[Fast Willy]

While this is very true, this car also appears to be an actual street "looking" car not a promod

 

[NasteeNate]

I would like more cars like what the OP posted on the show. More entertaining...

 

[Stevenbekah]

Either way, that's dang quick.
What are those "Street Outlaw" guys running in the 1/4 anyway? I've not seen...

The Sonoma has been in the 3s in the 1/8. Multiply by 1.55 or so.

 

[72SBC]

Well they mostly run 1/8 and they used to run mid to high 4's

 

[19935.slow]

Well they mostly run 1/8 and they used to run mid to high 4's

The very middle of the list is high 4's to 5.0's; but they all put passes just as fast down on the street.

Does this firebird get down the street as easy as it does at the track?

Top half of the list is running a hell of a lot faster than 7's. They may be on TV and the drama may be fake, but the cars are the real deal.

Always loved the Firebird

Aren't the street outlaws cars trapping around 160 in the 1/8? And this firebird is only trapping 180... it doesn't stand a chance

For reference, Murder Nova ran a 4.42 @ 177 on a 275 radial.

BULLSHIATE Steve! Shawn has been 4.40's in the 1/8th on 275's, Chief went 4.70's at the same event!

Again, while these cars are the real deal. They should just change the name of the show at this point. 1) they aren't street cars in the slightest sense and 2 they don't really race on normal streets. They race on a road specific built for the show. I get it the cars need a nice setup to try and make safe solid pass. Isn't that why most of us preach going to the tracks now?

Just quoting the driver.

 

[R.D.P.]

The only thing "street" is the fact that pavement is involved. I wish they didn't even pretend to race on the "street" at this point.

 

[ViperRed91GT]

Sub 7's needed to race with the top 5. .5 sec when you're traveling 180+ is bus lengths.

Nice edit. Maybe you should make sure you know why you're talking about before posting.

The roads aren't built for the show but they are closed and prepped. Anyone with half a brain can see that they aren't racing on open public roads. Even still, bare pavement sprayed with VHT is hardly a desirable surface for cars at this level. The cars are badass and setup right no matter how you slice it, regardless of any fabrication by the TV.
