Even wondered how the Fast and Furious series would be without the tons of cheesy bits? What if somebody offered us some pieces of footage that actually appeal to car people?

In terms of present-day contraptions, Air Strip Attack 8 has pretty much anything you can wish for when aiming to drag race cars that still wear plates. For instance, one of the lightest races featured a stock Shelby GT500 and a Mercedes-Bens SLS AMG.
