Ryan Martin’s Gray Car: The New Lethal Combo for No Prep Kings 2025

Well folks, the 2025 season is already shaping up to be wild, and leading the charge once again is none other than Ryan Martin. But this time, he’s coming out swinging with a fully loaded version of his gray car—and from what we’re seeing, it might just be his most lethal setup yet.

Last season, Ryan split his time between the iconic Fireball Camaro and the newer gray car, testing the waters and figuring out what combo could carry him through a stacked NPK field. But this year? It’s all about the gray beast.

Let’s break it down.

Ryan’s upgraded this car significantly in the off-season, and the setup he’s rolling into 2025 with is no joke. We’re talking a Hemi-based ProCharger combo, equipped with a Liberty 5-speed transmission, lockup converter, and yes—nitrous on top. That's right, he’s added a little squeeze to an already insane build.

Now, let’s not forget the rule shakeups this season. With the “run what you brung” style weight rules in the new No Prep Kings format, this car doesn't have to hit a minimum weight cap. That opens the door for Ryan to get as light as possible—somewhere around the 2700–2730 lb range, which is absolutely wild when you think about how much power he’s putting down. That kind of power-to-weight ratio? It's deadly.

And for those who remember, Ryan’s no stranger to pushing the edge. Back in Season 5, he ran the 144mm ProCharger, and it performed well throughout the second half of that year. For 2025, it sounds like he’s going with the 140mm unit—likely a move for more consistent performance across a wider range of track conditions.

Speaking of track conditions, let’s talk about consistency. With a Liberty and lockup, he’s got more control over power delivery than ever. But toss in the nitrous, and things get interesting. From what we’re hearing, the bottle will probably be used more like a scramble button—something to hit down-track if he’s getting chased or needs that last push at the stripe. Imagine that: a car that’s already fast as hell with a "just in case" button to blow past the competition.

Now, don’t sleep on the competition, either. The screw blown cars are gonna be turning up with all the overdrive they want, making tons of boost. Meanwhile, the twin turbo cars get to run a 36” tall tire this year, which means they’ll be able to apply a ton more power than before. But Ryan’s setup? It’s tailored for this rule package, and with a lightweight chassis and all the bells and whistles, he might just be the guy to beat.

One thing's for sure—Street Outlaws No Prep Kings 2025 is shaping up to be one of the craziest seasons yet, and Ryan Martin is charging into it full throttle with a proven combo, a lighter car, and some nitrous firepower in his back pocket.
