The show sucked, that talon guy is gay. He was walking around like he was the ---- before they worked on the car and at the track he only ran 8 something with a 125 shot of laughing gas. How slow was that car before they worked on it for him to be talking ---- about winning races for money and stuff. Gay. And real street racing crap, blah blah. Then they go and run in a 1/8th mile track, gay.

8.1 1/8 is a mid 12 sec time I doubt that most of you guys are that fast lol. Not that I liked the show or didnt think those 2 were retards but to say 8.1 1/8 mile is slow your on crack. I guess everyone here drives 11 sec cars. Also 1/8 mile is very popular on the east coast.

There's only one track that I know it's an 1/8, it's gay.
8.1 is ok I guess, But I would expect more with the work that was done to the car. The girl pissed me off, although she blew the engine later with a 12.6 or something.

:P :P :P
Why did they have to pick some of the dumbest people in the world to represent our hobby. These jackasses make us look stupid. Dr. Charles talked like a 13-year old and looked like a pedaphile. And the girl with the civic, need I say anything about her?! NASTY!

AmI the only one who likedthe show in here?I mean how funny was it to see that civic spin tires allthe way...and did you see that dsm go?It's ugly but for a mid 12's estimated 1/4 time w/out a turbo i thought it was pretty damn fast...I didn't really like Leila's setup though cuzits 2muchhorse power for a FWD.I would still ---- her though...

It's too hard to try and convert a 1/8 mile time to a 1/4 time. An AWD Talon and a turbo honda that run equivalent 1/8 mile times would not run equivalent 1/4 mile times; if the honda could keep up with the AWD car in the 1/8, it would be faster in the 1/4---theoretically.
