I understand where you are coming from, but I feel you have used the wrong example. The Texas mile and 1/8 mile drag racing are 2 completely different types of racing. (I know that you know that) These guys strictly do 1/8 mile (maybe 1/4 mile, I'm not 100% sure.) Your comparison to the 2 racing disciplines do not make sense.
That being said,I know what you were trying to say. When Chief said that "Oklahoma City has the fastest street cars in the country" (I'm paraphrasing) you probably yelled at the TV and said BULLSHIT!! I'm sure a lot of people felt the same way, but keep in mind, just as Chris said, it's all for TV, and designed to achieve ratings.
Are there faster cars on the street in other parts of the country?? You bet your ass! Are the OKC cars pictured in the show, fast street cars? You bet your ass! Chief is simply putting it out there, and until someone proves him wrong, what he says is true. I think it's a genius thing he's doing to be honest. Think of all the doors that are opened with that one comment....... Discovery Channel could market that quote and have another season with OKC vs St Louis or OKC vs LA etc etc. The list could go on. I went with Chris to do an OKC vs Texas filming for the show and had a blast. I can say with 100% certainty those cars are fast...real fast but I'm sure there are faster out there. I kind of hope Discovery Channel will do an OKC vs (insert city) episode series soon. That would be great!Last edited by jason07; 06-11-2013, 05:28 PM.

They aren't purpose built for top speed, a lot of them just make a ton of power. Think about how hard it is to go from 0-250mph from a stop in a mile. At the 1/4 mark even with no kind of 60ft or traction it's still going to be somewhere in the 9s at 160+.

I like the show, it will be better when the Texas guys makes it on though.
People want to watch a racing show then when they make one you just bitch about it. I mean I'm kinda sick of past time but its better than sponge bob. I got a 5 year old and that's all she wants to watch.

I like to keep it on as background noise while I work on projects, but had to quit DVR'ing it because that show comes on like 4 times a day.
I would like the Outlaw show better if it looked less scripted, but will take what I can get. I'll keep watching.

I've had cops sitting behind me at stop lights in my fox on slicks, 12 point cage, no airbags, no cats, and no horn. The only time one of them has even given me a second look was the cop that gave me a thumbs up as he passed me.
