It is probaly the WORST documentary on street racing EVER!!

It's all about canadian drag racing and the one guy is such a dumb little ricer that I think everyone that is part of the street racing world knows at least 1 kid like him. You canadians are crazy if that how your street racing actually goes down. Anyway I would say dont waste yourt time but you have to watch it just cuz you have too.

SPOILER:

To those that saw it last week:

How dumb is that guy tuning the RX-7!! He said he blew the engine by adding to MUCH fuel?!? How does that happen, must be some dumb canuck thing, lol. You know you shouldnt be dyno tuning a car when you think adding too much fuel blows the engine, if I lived near him I sit in fron of his shop everyday and rev my engine at his fat ass and wait for the tons of excuses hes got.

It's nothing like real Canadian Street Racing. I was on the scene for a few years. For the most part, it's all circle jerk no racing.

I gave it up and retired cause there was no point anymore. Racing in Toronto is GAY.

Agreed....I watched it a few weeks ago and was pretty much left sitting there like is this for real? I just love the part where they show the "cop training". "If you see a muffler hanging out the back that looks like a stovepipe it's an illegal muffler nail them for it (not sure 100% on wording, been a few weeks)" holy **** dude I could point out about 500 cars in a city block that has a stovepipe hanging out the back you better get on that! It was a nice try I guess but I was expecting more when I read the info before tuning to it.

Stuck up yankee? I DO NOT THINK SO. I didn't say "dumb" in reference to CANADA. I said that in reference to the IDIOTS THAT MADE THE DOCUMENTARY!

******' stuck up yankee.

It cannot be any worse than the Dateline exclusive or whatever it was about a queer with a LS1 Trans-Am that claimed all kinds of BS horsepower and modifications.

He was spending all of his money on his GOD car instead of his fat ass wife.

At one point in the interview he told them that he would never back down from a race.

A group of guys on the internet who had a bad ass Cobra I belive tracked him down at a local hangout. They fillmed his car and then went inside. They started talking to him to and asked if he wanted to race.

The look on his face was priceless, then he just came up with some excusseswhy he wouldn't race.

I have days like that.... isn't it fun to have your co-workers look at you like you have a second head or something just because you are having a good time and they aren't?

i'm watching the show right now and i feel dumber by the minute. i'm just sitting here laughing at these guys. although the cops around here only stop the hondas, no lie, every sunday night the only cars they pull over are the hondas that are lowered the friggen ground. but really, you can't stop a car just cause it's been modified, doesn't make him a racer, maybe it's just a show car. anyways, should be some fun watching for a little bit more.

What a gay documentary, it's nothing like that on the streets here in TO.

Although I was on tv for about .5 of a second

Wow, the Good old OPP... I'm suprised A&E filmed it in Toronto...

I could've sworn I knew the guy with the White Civic. like I've seen him come into my work to buy something. Maybe he works on the Rigs to support his speed habit???

Alright, I just watched it, and it was pretty good. Just to comment on one aspect only, that guy had his own shop, had three cars, had an entire mechanic crew, had access to dyno tuning, and every single one of his cars sucked ass and broke. Remind me not to bring any of my cars to his shop for anything.
