Street outlaws, not exactly off the radar and I know im late to the party just started season 1.

Is it for real? cant decide yet, the cars, racing and even the drivers are defs the real deal. Pedaling the car full track on an average street surface is pretty wild. But it still feels like typical american fake reality tv, acted bullsh*t at times. Cant help but think there is no way they just close of a street for hours racing and no cops turn up....not to mention they are filming and broadcasting all of their illegal activities

Oh and im already sick of hearing "bj pulls us up, bangs the light" 5/10 atm....ill put my flame suit on now as I know its very popular...

Check out the Midwest Street Cars Podcasts.

 

Short story some/most of the shenanigans are fake but racing is real deal on the night. Yes they close the roads for the actual races,but Discovery channel aint going to open them selves up to the liability of running on the public streets.

 

Personally it's like most american reality shows, I can live without the contrived sh*t but enjoy watching the cars. Plus Haltech are slowly but surely taking over.

So I didn't even make it half an hour into the first episode of Top Gear before I could no longer justify not going to sleep. Bored me. No real chemistry between Le Blanc and Evans, all seems very forced and the format feels and comes across like Top Gear Australia or America did...cheap, copied and not in any way original, which was what was so good about the rebooted version back when Clarkson started it.

 

1/10 would not bang.

Agreed Stripes about the only thing I found that was better than the show was the music used throughout the show.

 

excuse the pun but the show had no drive.

Isn't Top Gear America not all that bad now? Admittedly the yee-haw attitude isn't my thing, but it's the only spin-off of TG to succeed, so props to them. If this reboot will live long enough to do the same, we don't know. I haven't heard anything good yet besides the white knights defending it for the sake of it, but it's one episode, and I heard Chris Harris isn't even in it yet.
