I saw the Farmtruck in the Nitrous Express booth at the PRI show in Indianapolis, it's a serious piece (as well as a serious POS) !

I watch TV one night a week. Monday nights I come home from work and mow the grass, eat dinner while watching street outlaws then whatevers on after that. It's about the best car guy show we have if you like drag racing.

Like others have said I hate the fact we can't just watch the race from 1 or 2 angles. We all know how fast they are so no need to hide it. I'm convinced they do it to try and make it more exciting. Maybe it is for my girlfriend but to us guy's we want to see the race.

I think all the different angles are just filler, they take up time. Like some shows that recap what's happened after every commercial. Plus I bet that the majority of the viewers have never driven anything with 500hp on the street let alone 1500-2000 and they probably like it.

Like I've said before, cool show with fast cars and I just turn my BS meter on when I sit down to watch.

I love the show, it has awesome cars, good mix of characters, some comedy here and there, and again...awesome cars! Most tv shows are so dumb I can't make myself watch them, I almost never watch tv, but I sure do on Monday evenings when this is on. Even with the broken-up footage and camera angles I can still see that these cars are MOVIN!

Some things simply amaze me, that people say. You have nitrous cars running down thru there with flames hung out the pipes 3ft. Pairs obviously side by side riding the wheelie bars for 100ft and others seen overpowering the road a LONG way out there, smoking the tires and getting sideways...........yet it still gets called fake and staged. Those people must think this show has the special effects budget of Star Wars or something.............LOL!!!..........Yep, that's it, all done on a "green screen"...............LOL!!!.......mystery solved

I"m giving the show a up cause as someone has already mention it's a car guy show and it's on Mondays is a plus,
but then again I like looking at Power nation on weekends also.

I enjoy it, manufactured drama / humor & all. My wife even watches it with me sometimes and likes the interaction they show between Chief and his wife & kids.

The cars haul a$$, the races certainly look real to me (spent enough days on the street many years ago to see that), even if the events are staged for the show, and it's one of the few things on TV I'll bother to watch these days.

I like the show.It is my favorite car show. I think Big Chief does a great job as the host/narrator of the show. Still amazing to me that they race those cars on the street. Monday and Wednesday nights are my favorite TV nights...Mon-Street Outlaws and Wed-Outdoor Channel "Wed night at the range".
