As much as I don’t like straight line racing, this is awesome

Keep in mind that the "straight line racing" that these cars performed weren’t quick pulls. They maintained maximum speed for long durations and took on the apexes of the highways while dodging traffic at those speeds, that’s why the Midnight Club was so famous.

The show was awesome, but the reality is even more impressive.

I would guess around 20-25k at most

You’re looking at cars that cost up to 100K to build. Most of the parts were custom fabricated for these cars.
