Default Street Outlaws

Just a heads up in case anyone is interested, the television series Street Outlaws premiers 9:30pm Monday 22 May on 9GO in Sydney (I don’t know how that relates to other States).

Awesome!!

I used to stream it until a couple years ago when all free streaming seemed to come to an abrupt halt on the net. Soo glad it's made it to free to air tv.

You tube sucks with it. Small screen and very poor quality low definition

Yeah good show, I hope other shows filter down with it like "Fast n Loud" or "The classic car show."

I'm watching the current season as well but I think Go will be starting from season 1. I'd be surprised if they get more than a couple of seasons to start with. Look at Counting Cars, that show is over 5 yrs old pretty much like everything Go has that came from pay TV.

Agreed- I do not like that American Cool which is so uncool-and again- jeez they can talk.

Also- something not sit right with a father who blows money on cars and delays mortgage payments or delays constructing house while wife/.kids live in a caravan. May just be a clickbait fluff for the episode, but if real- just wow.

And that yap poodle in the 10th truck needed something mashed in his mouth to shut him up- preferably not a bone.

Watching this- just made me think what could be if there was an Australian version- just more real, less talk and more realness working on engines, driving and run offs.

I suppose you could watch this or all the other fluff on telly, like ACA or whatnot.

There is a lot of difference between these guys in real life and how they are portrayed on a TV show. They don't get a say in how the producers decide to make them look. For some insight into the two sides to a story have a listen to the Chief and Shawn show where they podcast and discuss what happens behind the scenes and other stuff.

I've been watching since series one and have watched the show and cars develop. As usual it becomes a nuclear arms race with cars being developed and money being thrown at them to stay competitive.

I quite like it, I can differentiate between how people are portrayed on TV and what they may be like in made for TV drama.

Good show, would rather watch it that most of the other garbage on telly.

Apparently they still race on the street between filming. There are clips on youtube of them still doing street races and apparently even being busted have a look on the 1320media channel there stuff on them there.

And also they all have big dollars now cause they get paid to do no prep races at drag strips around the states and just apperances at car events as well.

It's a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, I watch every episode for the entertainment. I love Chuck in the Mustang and the El Camino.

Sorry, but my first watch of this show, and it was just too contrived, bit like those towing shows where they repossess cars.
Nice cars but.

I'll take that other option. Not watching any garbage on tv.

Can't stand 'reality' tv of any sort. But then I'm one of those people who finds tv in general to be awful.

Had a tutor in uni who was a script writer for big brother, and a guy i work with now was on beauty and the geek. Enjoyed the experience, but all terribly contrived.

I think it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't sell it as real.

I guess it's like wrestling, but that's not my cup of tea either.

In the first few series they did have stuff in there about evading police etc, which was set up for TV, but the reality is that these guys do street race away from the show.

Just last month the police arrested a street racer these guys were racing against and impounded his car.

So what they do is real. As for whether the racing is contrived, I seriously doubt that. No one those guys is going to do a WWF style race for the producers. They have massive egos and wouldn't throw a race

The latest series (S7) is getting much better, new producers, more racing. Less staged stuff.

I really enjoy it. Only TV show that I watch (Download)

Eventually the show will have a use by date but until then I am enjoying it a lot. And good on the guys from OKC, nice to see them having fun.
