Default Murder Nova

While surfing the ole inter-web I found this piece on the Street Outlaws star, Murder Nova. if you don't want to watch the whole video then fast forward to about the 2:50 mark, on the dyno.
Just insane power, watch the car twist and torque

Cool - I watch the series all the time. I think I heard they run somewhere in the 2,500 hp range!

Great show I watch it every week,, but the only thing that is fake, is them running or looking out for cops, there is no way they would get away with that.

If you look on the side of the road they have pro cameras that run with these cars that get all the great footage.

My personal favorite is the farm truck taking out people who know nothing about racing, they just go buy their expensive cars and read the magazines

I wonder what those cars run in the 1/4, my guess would be in the low 8's, on the street those guys are all peddling the who way down.

I agree, tell my wife that every show we watch of Street Outlaws, but its good TV, which is hard to find nowadays unless your into, wife swapping, fat kids, being gay, looking for a husband/wife, or one of many other POS tv shows if you know what I mean lOL.
They also seem pretty dangerous, out of control but I enjoy the show except for the smack talk which some take to extreme
NSF PS if not for Velocity channel I wouldn't have anything to watch

One of the guys last said last week or so, he was from Denver I believe, that he runs around 180mph in the low 7's, he got beat
I wonder why/how that white Redline twin turbo Z06 would stack up, thing is dirty fast

much better than any of the other "reality shows", I don't watch any of that crap, I got home from an intense work out session,showered, got on my bed, channel flipped and saw Bruce Jenner dressed like a women etc, I got sick to my stomach, it was much more horrifying than any gory horror film I have ever seen, and I love horror movies, I quickly put on street out laws which I tape every Monday .

One of my most favorite shows! Interesting that in their 3rd successful season, and all the principal characters have new engines/ setups and several have new /bigger shops now too.
I can't imagine the money they spend on those cars.

That farm truck routinely beats porsches and GT 500's on the street and can't even hold #10 on the list

There's a video somewhere of Murder Nova running 1/8 mile in 4.60 @ 185 mph

The best part is that was on a 275 radial. I think its done like a 1.1 60 foot on the 275

Thanks for the Vid. Those guys are serious racers.... of that there can be no doubt!

is the 275 radial considered a "small tire" ?

I know its a TV show and staged but in reality they are hauling azz, no doubting that but I'm wondering if they are exceeding those cars ability to be safe, that is fast.
They are running close to or exceeding Pro Stock cars which are IMHO probably better built to handle such HP and GO STRAIGHT.
