Discovery channel now seeking street racers in detroit for a spinoff of “street outlaws”

A lot, if not most of these guys around here started off in the streets. I think with some adjustments to suspension, tire, and power down low it could be done.

I'm not saying they couldn't do it, just that it aint as simple as a click here and some power out there. It would take some time and testing..

Those guys on the show have got it figured out pretty good, but they have a lot of time into it.

The Detroit guys have some serious horsepower, but what most of them lack is tire size... I know Quicks new car can fit some big ole tires on it, but from what I have seen on most of these cars is a 29" tire max.. I may be wrong.

If our local(fast) racers had a few weeks to get some true testing in I think they could do some damage for sure. Hell I remember when the show was supposed to come here last summer the only one that was testing on the streets was Blackstang. I have a buddy that lives over by him and he could hear him making pass after pass, that guy aint no dummy. He was doing what he had to do.

Skip (BatMobile) has been hooking and wheel standing on the streets for YEARS on a small tire,still the king of streets to date IMO ..He has YEARS of experience setting his car up on the streets so when it comes down to it,I don't think he will have issues now ..If everyone works as a team like they should,IMO they won't have issues..

Putting street racing on TV doesnt make people want to do it exactly, it might make it look sexier I guess.


When the first model T rolled off the line everyone high 5'd

When the second rolled off the line they took um out on the street in front of the plant and raced um!

as bad as street outlaws actually is.... more shows and programs need to be on TV. we need to get kids interested to replace those of us that grew up with a wrench in our hands....the US went from "the arsenal of Democracy" to a bunch of managers and IT nit wits..... American ingenuity and know how is fading fast. Also each generation after the last seems to be getting lazy-er and lazy-er..... I remember when I was 15 and couldn't WAIT to get my license. now....kids could care less. they would rather stay at home and play x-box.....

"As bad as street outlaws is".....at least they dont spot cars and argue how many kits are allowed....
