Anyone catch that new show Red Devil something or another last night? Sorry, don`t know the exact name but it`s WAY more realistic and affordable that Street Outlaws...........

I saw an ad for it, but didn't catch what network. Any good?

Appalachian Outlaws

I like it and these guys DRIVE their cars to race not trailer em and before I get bashed, I like Street Outlaws but lets face it, VERY few have cars of that caliber let alone drive/race em on the street.......

Did you see those welds on the turbo repair.............

My favorite part was the guy explaining how Nitrous works. My 10 year-old girl could do a better job...

Those guys are local to me and I was actually at the filming for the last race in the episode.. They are good people and definitely not dumb as most people on YB are saying..

The producer is not car savvy in the least. He made them hold the cars up on the converter for a good 45s to get "the perfect shot" before He let the camera man bang the light. It was painful to watch. Rusty puked the tranny fluid out of the GN about the 330 because of it.

I did a search...... Which came up with "Appalachian outlaws" as being a show about growing gensing.

I saw it was on and recorded it. I will watch it this afternoon.

What network is that show on ?

Red Devil Racers on the Discovery channel. Not bad, more realistic as far as street cars go, but there was a lot of "show" for one real quick and not exciting race at the end. The dude w/ the blue Z28 is annoying.
Hey, it's another show on TV about cool cars. I'll watch it.

I agree, I would rather watch some of these Car shows , then some of the other Trash/Drama that is on

I can't find a listing for it.

What chevy guys think about the show. LOL

While it was somewhat refreshing to see real everyday low-buck cars, reality is that I can see that by walking out to my garage. Personally, I found those guys to come across like a band of idiots. Perhaps they're not, but that's the way the show came across to me. Count me in the camp of guys that basically watched in horror with the thought that all of America is seeing this and honing their opinion on car guys.

If the producers didn't know jack about cars, then the guys in the show should have taken a little more ownership of their own brand, and demanded the show present a little more intelligent approach to things.

And for gods sake.... taking a mig welder to a tube covered in exhaust wrap.... [ Moparts Family Site - Keep it Friendly ]!? Am I the only guy that was thinking "if its cracked in one spot, you better remove that wrap and check the rest of it".

The whole thing was low rent in my book.

LMAO, It's on Discovery Channel.

Must be a limited release type show because I couldn't find it on my cable system. Plus I could not find it on Discovery Channel's website.

I saw a preview for another race-oriented show on good ol' Discovery Channel. It's called "Fish Outlaws" and the preview showed a mermaid with a Megalodon going up against a manatee with a stingray. The manatee was asking for "10 fins and the bite", but the Megalodon still ate him (and the stingray) alive by the 330 mark.

Just watched it on youtube...well, I had it playing as I was trying to be productive...ha

1. Not sure how you have a "daily driver" that rubs the tires that bad and you don't notice it.
2. Not sure how you can swap a NA/N2O carb to a blow through application, with no modifications, and have it work better.
3. If you are loosing a ton of boost, sure, throw some spray at it.
4. Race bucket mounted to some aluminum sheetmetal?

I get the whole grassroots thing, but seriously...

Good for them though. If someone wanted to make a show about me visiting my mom and making 7 second passes in my street car, I'd be all over it too I guess.

I've got it DVR'd. I'll watch it tomorrow, but I now have very low expectations.

I get what you`re saying and there`s Hollywood in just about everything on TV these days but although a bit back woods, it was entertaining.......

if you have xfinity type in red and scroll down and its in there you can watch it. it's different

This stuff is getting out of hand. Sure, I street raced back in the 60's but the cars were much slower. We did it on the main drag with cars and people around. Such is the stupidity of youth. I race on the track now.
I'm not talking about the guys that might show up on TV with a caged car, safety equipment, blocked off streets and EMT's off camera. I'm talking about the wannabes, the inexperienced, the unsafe, the idiots. I love cars and I love racing but not enough to blindly endorse these Bozos.

These will be the guys that f______ it up for everyone.

Interesting show, I raced my car when it was faster then those on the street. It's definitely not street outlaws. I will watch if it fits in my schedule but won't make time for it like I do for SO.

I loved the guy wearing the fire jacket,helmet and shorts. I was wondering about the switching the carb off the nitrous car to the blow thru turbo car.

You live in the south, it gets pretty warm down here. I see alot of people wearing shorts at the track. Not many with a jacket though.

I wear shorts almost every week in the Summer. Then I slide into my long pants before I race.

The ones i am talking about race in shorts

It was STUPID! Made my head hurt after watching it,!
Hope I don't accidentally see it again.

What is the show actually called. Ok I just saw it. Like watching Justified without the guns.

I watched about 10 minutes of it and I'd had enough.
They make car guys look like morons the way they act and speak.

I guess when you race at a track with no tech you can make a pass in shorts. Cant pull that off where I race.

I watched about 15 minutes on you tube.
Now my brain hurts.
Racing on asphalt, with no prep, and your not spinning the tires.
I also didn't see any roll bars/cages.

Won't last three weeks...

The old Street outlaw to the front....LOL

I tried to watch, it was just to painful. I might give the second episode another chance. But I really can't see it lasting more than a couple of shows.

I didn't watch it the whole way through yet but I will. I started watching Street Outlaws with my Son when it first came out and laughed my butt off and made comments about it every week. My Son would just look at me and laugh and say shut up DAD. He knows about my street racing 40 years ago as I told him several of the stories. Street Outlaws grew better every season and the producers stepped up "big time". Lets see were this one ends up before totally give up on them.

Here's what I find interesting about the appeal of SO.
I see so much NHRA bashing about how they don't show enough racing and it's become a John Force infomercial...... And yet, the way I see it ..... That the same formula as the SO.
Less tech and details about the cars, more BS from farm truck and azn, more scripted confrontations........ More crap that has to do with "personalities"......that I don't care anything about.
IMO, SO has not gotten any better since it started, it's just become another reality show that has almost nothing to do with reality.
I watch it, but if it went away I wouldn't really care.

I realize I'm probably in the minority of most of the viewers.
The way I see it is, the premis for all of these reality shows, whether it's the voice, survivor, big brother, master chef, or SO, is the same. To get the viewers to connect with the personalities on the show and become invested in them.
It just doesn't work for me, which is why I don't ever watch those shows. As SO becomes more like those other shows, the less interested I am.

The cars appeared to be dead slow. Daily drivers or not, they were SLOW. If that's all they got for street racing in that area...........they don't have much.

One of my customers has a 16 year old kid, with a 72 Nova that he drives to school. Pretty mild 406 with alum heads, runs low 7s on motor. Spray it with a 150hp kit, coming on a 1 sec out, on drag radials and it goes 5.70s. Maybe we need to take it to Chattanooga..........LOL!!! And it DOES run just as quick on the street, because dad has been wearing the locals out with it, ON the street

Ya, but do they use the same disclaimer - " just because we are dumb asses, don't mean you can be too"..... Happy holidays Thumper.

I was super impressed with the great weld job they did on the gn... I wonder if they have classes to teach their skills!

I got to say this show is pretty stupid... I don't think they will air another season. They keep trying these new car related shows, few actually make it back on the air.

If you like torture... here it is on youtube:

Must admit I only saw the last 15 minutes so apparently I missed the really dumb stuff.......... Happy holidays to you to sir...............

Amen..

My "Street Dart" ran 9.80's with a stage II NOS kit back in the late 70's on a 10" McCreary tire. 3200#
Drove it everywhere in So. Cal.



Chris..

Testing, testing, 1... 2... 3... Is this microphone working?

Wow, it's a tough crowd at the Moparts Comedy Club "Amateur Night".

Diesel Brothers seems to have Red Devil's time slot for Monday

Looks like the crowd came over from Moonshiners...
Just another entertaining car reality show....
Watch it for entertainment and move on...

Just my $0.02....

Those guys are the real joke! I'll never support what they do, they give real diesel enthusiasts a horrible name.

Yeah please don't support the stupidity by watching. SO's was borderline at first for me, but once they showed those guys wheeling those cars and wrenching AND breaking it grew on me and gets my viewership.

I agree, I DVR ed it and watched about 10 or 15 minutes then told my wife this show makes drag racers look like idiots. Deleted from play list won't watch it again. JMO
