      08:41 - That is the ground zero for all this internet beef. Lack of maintenance was obvious and stated prior, yet at the end of the Sick Week video, Cleetus' wrap (which has now been edited and chopped up) put all the blame on the SMX breaking.

    Mullet wasn't built for that much, you know it, he knows it, we know it. But it was definitely fun to watch. That thing went faster than it ever should have. lol

    • @54raceman
      @54raceman 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      The part they left out is that the damage was already started to the chassis before they put the smx in is why they weren’t worried about it messing the chassis up

    • @turbocateyeS475
      @turbocateyeS475 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Man if you saw under the body on some of the no prep "pro mods" and NPK cars... The fact that they even stay together and sit level is wild. Mullets biggest issue was the whole jet car thing and the way it was originally setup. Then they changed the wheelbase back but left the rear end and a lot of the bars. Plus it was designed for an LS. Then they street drove it thousands of miles and kept putting heavier engines in it and basically doubling the horsepower. It running low 7s and high 6s after doing a drag and drive is almost a miracle but the lack of being built right or overbuilt is kinda normal. It was a hell of a lot of fun to watch! Eagle seems to be getting the chassis and engine it deserves right off rip so I doubt he will out power the chassis. I just wish he was doing a screw blower or crank driven charger. Too much twin turbos, they have more problems with elevation and there's a handful of other reasons most of the really competitive cars swapped to superchargers.

    • @wobblysauce
      @wobblysauce 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yep, the change from the Jet was a big step... but at the time it didn't seem like much of an issue to leave the other bars, but now trying to get the last out of it all the small things make a difference.

    • @OldManBadly
      @OldManBadly 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      The thing is, Cleetus is all about drama, and this is just more of it. The car was never meant to have that much power in it, and it really isn't built to be that car either.
      In essence, Mullet is suppose to be kind of the very edge of being a street car. It isn't a plastic body faker, it is (mostly) a real car with a nice chassis under it. It is a car that can actually drive down the road seriously. However, when you drag and drive against guys running pro-mods with plates on them, you win only when they break. So he is in a pretty crappy spot. it would take probably another 1000-1500hp extra to make up what he is losing by being a real honest to god streetable car.
      In essence, Steve has the same problem with the wagon, but is overcoming most of it. Garrett isn't going to get there will Mullet, sadly.

    • @RustyWells2
      @RustyWells2 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@turbocateyeS475Yes I agree with your points but the eagle is going to be a quarter mile car and not beats the horsepower of twin turbos in the quarter mile that's why he's running turbos setup just like Mark Mickey and Turbo Todd Moyer the two fastest pro mods in the history of pro mods! So now you know why he's doing it the way he is!

    I had a customer with a 911 that had sat for 16 years in his mother's garage. It had no miles on it and was perfect, except for the fact it wasn't cared for before or during the time it was sitting. Besides the tires being massively flat spotted and dry rotted, it had 17 gallons of gas in the tank. After emptying the tank and replacing the fuel level sensor, we had to replace some oil hoses and whatnot. The power window relays were a little sticky the first few times we tried them, but started working again. The biggest issue were the fuel injectors. All 6 were stuck closed. Why the boss was checking on new ones, I decided to see if I could break them loose, but pushing on the pintle with my fingernail. All 6 broke loose, I put them back in, and it fired right up. It ran like a dream. It's the newest, by mileage, 911 that I ever drove, considering I've driven 911's a decade newer with much higher mileage.

      @indianaslim4971 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I agree, while James, Zach and Tye have skills they are spread out working on too many different projects, at this point Cleetus is a u-tuber full time and a part time racer, I don't think that's going to change any time soon since racing is a money losing proposition unless you sell your soul to a corporation.

      ​@@indianaslim4971Cleetus is well on his way to becoming a modern event promoter/host, there was a guy in the 70s or 80s who did a lot of wild stuff too. Like sitting on the front of a jet car with a margarita popping and throwing fire balls, can't remember his name. He needs a proper mechanic who does nothing else and a car manager really.

I and some friends put a 72 Oldsmobile 350 Rocket stock motor in it, and some farmer help with the motor mounts and transmission setup as they didn't just bolt right up. He showed up with model T pickup with some homemade stick welder on the back. This was back in the 80's when nosey neighbors were cool and called his dad the Farmer to do the welding .

      It's going to be close. It'll all come down to traction. I assume the wagon has a longer wheelbase which might make it easier to put the power down but the new car is probably going to be lighter so I don't know.
