I used to watch GMG just because they pumped out cool cars. Yea, it was reality tv, which is full of ridiculous crap, but the cars were cool. After seeing how they treated this whole showdown, I'm just really pissed at them, but really not surprised. I mean, the fact that a YT series scared a big corporate owned TV show so much that they had to cheat in every way possible to get a win... really is a victory for Roadkill.
+THEInSOMniACXX Didn't stick to the weight, suspension, or ride height rules. Hence why the Hellcat Mayhem went against a prostreet Hellcat powered Mopar A-body.
Funny hearing them complain about cable TV etc but a couple of years after this was released I was deemed unworthy to watch Roadkill because I live outside America because of licence issues. Like all car shows, even ones with genuine guys like these two, money will always been the main factor, not the fans. At least the best classic episodes are back on YT.
To watch the newer episodes yes, but I've been watching roadkill from the beginning, and I'm Dutch. Maybe it was banned in some countries.@AlexWithington
When you guys were in Tulsa, i was watching you work on General Mayhem and you were replacing something, i cant remember what it was off the top of my head, a control arm maybe? Anyways, Mike asked if i wanted a souvenir and gave me the broken control arm and we talked for a little bit, really awesome dude BTW, and its sitting in my room and every time i look at it its so hard to believe that i have part of General Mayhem, i watched the first episode of this car being built when it came out and has been my favorite since. He said to me "theres a shit ton of people here, huh?" and i just didnt even know what to say because i was too busy "fan-girling" but i have been a part of the roadkill series for a long time and heard they were coming to my town and laid an egg. They're really Awesome guys, and hopefully i will be seen in the roadkill takes america episode. I sleep at night knowing i own a piece of this car
It was awesome. I was fan-girling all night and drooling over the cars they brought. It was crazy seeing them build them on youtube and then seeing them in person
Gabe Parks yup, this is why I want them to remain TH-cam hosts. So they don't become dick heads, no tv host would personally talk to fans like that especially give them souvenirs
This is one of the best web shows made. Full stop. Dont' change it. To that point, I would really like to see a return to the roots of what made this show great - Mike and David battling to get a car running and making a roadtrip out of it. I have been enjoying the last few episodes, but they just aren't the same.
+David Freiburger Will the Cougar you recently acquired be making an appearance? I hope to be able to do Drag Week, one of these years. I'v got a few cars that don't run, so I figure I'm good to go. Got an 87 Regal, with an 87-ish TPI Vette engine in it. Also an 87 Fifth Avenue that I inherited. It runs but is completely stock, garage kept low mileage. (fully loaded) Wow, I just said a whole lot of nothing. Love the show, and believe it or not, I don't enjoy your suffering. I just enjoy the unscripted realness of it.
+David Freiburger gj on actually listening to the audience! Love the show! Would love to meet you guys (and fix my '67 Riviera Roadkill style) if you guys are in Denver, Co again.
Ed Fan Awesome car. I love mid 50's to early 70's Buick's. I found a 65 GS fully loaded with the 425 Super Wildcat engine matching #. It's a non-runner, and I have no idea about rust, but she's all there.
That's a special car, how much do they want for it? And there's def going to be some rust issues, just be ready lol. Also, Parts are hard to find for these cars, I'm waiting for a gigantic 3D printer to print some of mine haha.
> Not allowed to post ANYTHING from the race And that's why Roadkill (or any TH-cam show for that matter) should not go on TV ever. That ancient thing is quite clearly dying.
and what is brilliant about your little web show is that it has all the things that the big network shows are missing...and that's real reality entertainment for the LOVE OF IT. This is the episode that introduced me to the magic of Road Kill - (I was watching the GM episode and had never heard of RoadKill) . Please don't ever stop making your show.
After learning how this race ended, I completely stopped watching GMG. You let someone else set up the rules, than dont even follow them, then have your network not even allow the other team to even SHOW the results even though its named ROADKILL NIGHTS. Actions speak louder than your roaring engines. I cant watch stuck up arrogant greedy pricks try and look cool after that. They have no honor. And arent even that entertaining. Roadkill, however. Is frankly even better than British Top Gear, in my own opinion. I even love the episodes where theyre just BSing on their cars with no real plan or plot. They somehow still make it COOL and entertaining without being dicks. Now THATS A FREAKING CAR SHOW. When David puts the engine in the trunk and knocks off the oil filter "WELP. FIXED THAT PROBLEM!" pretty much somes up in my opinion working on cars to begin with in just that one 5 second scene. Which is by FAR better than listening to Rawlings complaining he isnt drinking a beer right now almost all the time. He doesnt even WORK on the cars!!! He gets others to do it. Hes nothing but a house flipper for cars. ROADKILL. Nuff said.
you do know that the roadkill guys have said they waited until they knew what GMG was building. They then set rules that GMG's build would never meet. plus don't think Richard has any say in what Discovery do. look at how they messed up the OCC guys all their lawyer BS.
Sage Sheahan to be fair, when gmg built the dart, roadkill said they had moles in the industry telling them what they were building so they made the rules to not allow the dart in
Your buying a car with 707 horsepower. It's a limited edition vehicle to begin with. It's not like there would be an expectation to sell 10,000 of them. If they sell 10 of them, that would be great. Just give the option.
Enjoyed!! What an awesome episode. I really enjoyed your statements about why your not on cable tv. TH-cam is great! Make your own rules. Out out the videos people want to watch and learn from, and the viewers will come. Thank guys! Adam
+Tim Colwell you kidding me? I'm late to the bandwagon but been watching them for a few months now. Done gone through all the episodes at least once and now multipal times for Blasthemi and General Mayhem! Love these guys! They got shit figured out.

First: We all knew that Gas Chicken Garage race was COMPLETE BULLSHIT, and we knew, that it wasn't on you. We didn't got ANYTHING of all that we asked for. Second: The Ricardo Rollwings ("wings", get it?) race was a thousand times better then the one I saw on the internet. Although it took me like a minute or so to understand the joke, once I got it, it was the best I've heard all the week, on all subjects ever. Roadkill rulez, don't ever get on TV, unless it's for some interview or something, and only if it's live and you can call a thing or two. And the last I have to say is: "Right there, best day at work, ever."
***** Lost to a guy who just completely ignored the proposed challange? Who wouldn't drive his OWN FREAKING CAR? Meh, no point in winning a race against a guy like that.
+Eduardo Perosso Of course they did. Why the hell wouldn't they? Try being a fucking grown up. I don't care much for Rawlings either, or TV studio bullshit, but his team are solid, especially Aaron.
+Gamer Wiryo Yeah but look what they do to nice stuff. Did you see the general maintenance. When I saw a pic of that on the internet I was like cool vinyl rap. Nope.
+Hpi Guy's Garage That would be awesome, two of the best automotive shows on TH-cam together. Also there wouldn't be any of this reality TV bullshit that happened with GMG.
+blur2324 Supergramps may get some more boost if they can get the compression down, and put out around 450-500 horses. Considering it's already high 11s car and Mayhem is high 10s, this maaaay be quite close. But I don't want to see Gramps and Mayhem. I want them to get a set budget and build two cars that will then be raced in different disciplines.
You honestly think they wanted those taillights? This has been beaten to death already. They only put them in because the way modern cars are the electronics are finicky and the car wouldn't run right without the tails plugged into the harness. Since then, which has been a LONG ASS time ago they've alleviated the problem and the original tails are back in...😒
+Josh Jones So explaining why the taillights were used in the first place and that the originals are back in and have been back in is taking things too seriously? I guess so then...
You had me in tears of envy at the 10 minute mark. 1st off, having a 68 or 69 charger that runs would be a dream come true. Then to have Dodge come in and do that to it and create a cross between the look of the old with the tech. of the new is amazing. Having your car with the old 440 would have been fun but that just takes it to a whole new level of awesome. Congratulations on such a wonderful machine.
They’re going to in 2016, What I hope for an off-road battle between mighty car mod's MOD MAX and Roadkill's General Mayhem down under (Because there both Mad Max inspired cars and Mad Max is set in the Australian outback) and maybe a drag race at Sydney dray strip against super gramps or a race on their handling course.
That's sadly not a contract thing. TH-cam just doesn't pay like it used to. Most creators, especially people who spend a lot of money to create content like this, make little to no profit on here nowadays. It's why Patreon has become so popular.
Awesome -love Roadkill -keep it as it is! I'm British, I cannot handle the reality TV rubbish, the constant re-caps, title screens, ads, fast and furious edits and macho rubbish -I love that Roadkill keeps it real -it even encourages me to actually work on my junk! rather than just being disappointed that i can't afford anything that is featured on TV. Long live Roadkill.
Honestly I think those corporate guys in Motortrend are giving themselves less credit than they deserve for spreading out the American car culture. There's no easier way for a guy like me from Hong Kong to know about muscle cars than right here on TH-cam and honestly they need to give us back the free roadkill
I think the reason for the stupid new lights is because they tie in with making the engine run. Think I read about it in Hot Rod that that's why they had to stick them in there. They have to go though. Ugly as hell.
They didn't sell out, it was when discovery bought the company that owns motor trend they forced rk to take everything down, they didn't want to and are still pissed about it to this day
Nick DeBlasio they don't look THAT bad, but they don't fit with overall visual of the Charger mayhem.They had to let the hellcat lights because of eletric mish mash in the hellcats systems.
+Jeiso Pá godêro I get that they needed to use them at the time buying a die hard muscle car guy, especially Mopar, and the 68 Charger is my favorite partially because of the tail lights so in my opinion I dislike them, it's cool that you like them though
LOL, no. I decided Gas Money was completely unwatchable long before this ever happened. Besides that, I find the very idea of getting mad over the result of some drag race between two modified cars I don't own pretty funny.
+itchysp They have processors in them, and were necessary to get the whole Hellcat CANBUS system working. I think they may have figured it out, and the stock lights are back.
I was kind of surprised when I saw them I thought they were kind of neat and unique, albeit the second generation new charger lights would have worked better. Granted the obvious high technology kills the sleeper status of it but it made me think of what a 2015 Cuda/duster/AMX would look like
OMG - your takeoff on the usual reality tv douchbaggery is priceless. Especially the cut back from commercial only to retell the last eight minutes of storyline. Go Roadkill!!!
Roadkill could you please test what it takes to run over a stop sign? In a lot of driving games you barely slow down when you hit a small sign. I suspect IRL you will need a pickup or bigger due to ride height and weight
+The Real Plato It depends on how the stop sign is manufactured. I hit one dead on the front bumper in a 2007 Malibu and only heard the noise (I was driving at night, and the sign was somehow non-reflective?), didn't feel the impact. I was probably doing like 40mph. The stop sign was mounted on a wooden post, not a metal one, but as far as I could tell afterwards, the car was not damaged.
+sleepybird09 I had some passengers distracting me (in an unfamiliar car on unfamiliar roads), so I made an early lane change, and the sign was set into one of those low medians in between two left turn lanes/cutouts on a main strip, one right after the other, so I went into the first one intending for the second one, and couldn't get back into the main driving lane because it was blocked by another car, so I just kept going as I was looking back to see if I could merge, and heard the sharp crack of wood splintering.
+The Real Plato Not much, we had someone in the area run over a sign on a metal post (not cemented in) at roughly 10-15mph (guy was drunk and made a really wide turn) they didn't realize it until they started hitting potholes while the sign was still stuck under the car.
You guys got beat! They had a hellcat motor hooked up to to a two speed drag transmission! They spent days with a computer tech to get the hellcat motor to talk with the drag transmission. Plus their car was much lighter and they built it into a real drag car. Yes they broke all the rules and it was not a street legal car.
+Tim Wendt they had to do the tail lights because if one bit of the electrical system isn't plugged in (on a modern car) the car wont move...Like if you take the stereo out, nope car broke wont move....that sorta thing
I am so stoked to hear that you guys are sponsored by Dodge and Ma Mopar!!! Hell yeah Hellcat!! I wish I had know about you guys years ago but I have been stationed in Germany and the Middle East since 2008 so I def missed out. Funny Enough I only heard about you guys because of another great TH-cam show called DeBoss Garage! Keep up the high quality work gentlemen! Now time for the 4BT swap in my Jeep!
Road kill. You guys are number1 in my book. You guys have personality and that right there makes you top dog. GmG only has money. They buy what they need. You guys build what you need and that sets you way apart from the other wanna beeees. Road kill for the win.
Loebane All of them. I went and watched the GMG show and they said they didnt care about what rules were set and they were just ganna go ahead and make the car their way after they said they would listen to any rules set out by Roadkill. Also, the entire time of the episode of GMG, they made fun and Finnegan. (Or how ever you spell his last name)
Television is dying, can't wait till it's dead. GMG cheated on every rule and now they cant even show it online. But you know whats worst of all? Dodge has so much of a cockhold on Roadkill, that's all we're going to see is Dodge. Their aftermarket and modern hotrod scene is almost non-existant in relation to the other two big guys. Please bring back the old Roadkill.
Haven't been inspired to want to buy a new Dodge since the NASCAR days when the cars felt "real"... Good job, Road Kill and Dodge: Now I want to go out and buy a new Dodge again! Thanks for being a REAL car company that cares about enthusiasm!
+Oswaldo Ortiz The general mayhem probably doesn't have cats or restrictive stock exhaust (at least it shouldn't) so you have more power and more noise.
Good. Throw up for no reason. They've been long gone and they were only hooked up in the first place so the modern electronics would work. It wouldn't run without them.
@endseeker they didnt follow the rules...they brought a car that was a 1000lbs lighter and just basically cheated. You can google it or watch the race on youtube and see for yourself..those clowns just ignored the rules probably because roadkill didnt actually build the car but i can see why they gave it to someone else because 1: they specialize in it and 2: time wise.
Not to keep kicking a dead horse, but didn't the Roadkill guys wait until GMG had already started building their car to specify the rules? Hot Rod has an article on it.
jsteph54 the roadkill guys admitted this in the show that they had insiders and they created the rules to screw with them because they already knew what they were building. only watched it the other day
This was when roadkill was cool! This was why they didn't have some cable show bullshit. Now we can't watch motor trend anything in Australia! Bring back road kill.
I started watching Fast n' Loud a while back. Saw the episode related to this drag. It immediately started to hate Rawlings and the whole show after watching a few episodes. I just found Roadkill a couple weeks ago, so I've been binge watching like crazy! I'm glad y'all kept the integrity of the rules. Awesome episode and build.
Fastest way to drive a late model auto Mopar put it in D and keep it there don’t touch the stick, drop it to first gear with the paddles, pedal to the floor and hold it straight let the car do the job, of course in your fastest drive mode the car will perfect shift every single time the millisecond it’s going to hit the rev limiter it puts it in the next gear you’ll never feel it slow down between shifts
I was wondering if you guys could, da swap a 2010-2015 Ford Taurus please. I know it will be expensive but it will be a good experience to see a Ford Taurus finally has a v8
Dec I've seen diesel trucks leave the strip without rolling coal and it took off very slowly compared to a truck that was spewing black smoke, so rolling coal must do something about power
TheNecromancer6666 lol I hope you're trolling or know very little about Diesel performance. You would be right if we were talking about daily driving efficiency but not max power at a drag strip. Not debating the annoyance of 100 kids with a chipped truck fogging out a track but take a look at the guys like firepunk diesel making around 2000hp in a pickup, lots of smoke and I would bet they aren't using anything low quality....
Bob D I am from europe where we know how to really build engines. If your Diesel is smoking you are throwing away A LOT of power with a slow flamewall. As with any engine the cleaner, the more powerfull. If it would make it faster Audi LMP1 Diesels would have smoked.
+Based God Oh they are. I used to watch their show because of the badass cars. And they ARE good at making them. But Rick is a total asshole. His mechanic is cool though. But Rick puts the Douche in Douchebag. All he ever does, as far as driving a car, is stick his head out a window while doing doughnuts and screaming "WHOOOOO!" at the top of his lungs. Then he goes off and has a beer and bitches about how his mechanic doesn't work quick enough and how he never has any money. Guy's a total dick.
I love the engine sounds when they do burnouts side by side, the old charger "BRAAAAAAPPPPP!!", the new charger "WHEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWW..WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!"

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE EPISODES OF ROADKILL!!!! I LOVE HANGING WITH MY MOPAR FAMILY!!!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!!
I would have been like “instant disqualification you lose we win bye” and tell dodge because they agreed
Next time lets get Marty and Moog from MCM to race against Roadkill.
+Hpi Guy's Garage there doing a show together next year
+Hpi Guy's Garage That would be awesome, two of the best automotive shows on TH-cam together.
Also there wouldn't be any of this reality TV bullshit that happened with GMG.
Tomikos995 like i said there doing a show next year 2016
+blur2324 Not really, it would be a multi-stage event. Drag, Dirt Rally and Autocross.
+blur2324 Supergramps may get some more boost if they can get the compression down, and put out around 450-500 horses. Considering it's already high 11s car and Mayhem is high 10s, this maaaay be quite close.
But I don't want to see Gramps and Mayhem. I want them to get a set budget and build two cars that will then be raced in different disciplines.
Please RoadKill, NEVER CHANGE WHAT YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU DO!
Funny how things have turned around.... Make Roadkill Great Again!!
watching roadkill in my TV production class, because roadkill>school
Funny seeing you here! :)
+Jester If you get questioned on it, "I'm doing class-pertinent research on how to edit an internet-based show."
old tail lights looked way better. other than that, this is pretty sick
You honestly think they wanted those taillights? This has been beaten to death already. They only put them in because the way modern cars are the electronics are finicky and the car wouldn't run right without the tails plugged into the harness. Since then, which has been a LONG ASS time ago they've alleviated the problem and the original tails are back in...😒
+Auto Young you take things way to serious
+Josh Jones
So explaining why the taillights were used in the first place and that the originals are back in and have been back in is taking things too seriously? I guess so then...
CreepinWhileYouSleepin they cant use the old ones because of the new electronics
Copeland deserves an Oscar for his performance at @4:50
I love this TH-cam series. Wish they would bring it back
They film on motor trend now. they got caught up in corporate bs
Those late model tail lights are just not doing it for me but the rest of the car is gorgeous! Besides the steering wheel that can go too
This and Stubby bob are the greatest builds on the internet. Forget Ferrari's and widebody Lambo's this is it right here folks.
Don’t forget blasphemi
fuck yes roadkill baby looks like im gonna be late for work
Looks like I'm going to be late for school
Adrian Szugye hahahaha worth it though
yep
I almost wanna be late for school for this, but I know it'll be here when I get home :P
It's 5:00am and you can count me in!!!!!!
I can'tget my jaw off the floor! I will always take REAL over "Reality."
God Bless ROADKILL!
he damm near got his ass whooped by a Cummins lol
Roll Coal FTW XD
cummins probably running 50 pounds of boost too and still got beat lmao
1012
james dean it also doesn't help much that it has the aerodynamics of a two story house and the weight of a CATERPILLAR D11.
Michael caplinger I might Cummins swap my Tahoe and call it the cumminhoe
Roadkill is so much cooler than those other losers.
Loved the vid.
Good on ya both for knowing you're Limitations!
More Power to Ya.
GodSpeed
You had me in tears of envy at the 10 minute mark. 1st off, having a 68 or 69 charger that runs would be a dream come true. Then to have Dodge come in and do that to it and create a cross between the look of the old with the tech. of the new is amazing. Having your car with the old 440 would have been fun but that just takes it to a whole new level of awesome. Congratulations on such a wonderful machine.
you guys ripped the shit out of that TV show they won't mess with u again
Do a show with Mighty Car Mods! They're pretty much your Aussie counterpart!
+sir2honda they are lol
They’re going to in 2016, What I hope for an off-road battle between mighty car mod's MOD MAX and Roadkill's General Mayhem down under (Because there both Mad Max inspired cars and Mad Max is set in the Australian outback) and maybe a drag race at Sydney dray strip against super gramps or a race on their handling course.
+sir2honda as an aussie, hell yes this needs to happen
Or should i say chopped lol
+sir2honda BURNOUT RACE.
up next on velocity.. "no big contracts or politics" *meanwhile roadkill is no longer available on youtube* yeah. okay.
That's sadly not a contract thing. TH-cam just doesn't pay like it used to. Most creators, especially people who spend a lot of money to create content like this, make little to no profit on here nowadays. It's why Patreon has become so popular.
thats because even with a big sponsor the roadkill guys wouldnt be able to monetize the content they want to make on youtube.
Awesome -love Roadkill -keep it as it is! I'm British, I cannot handle the reality TV rubbish, the constant re-caps, title screens, ads, fast and furious edits and macho rubbish -I love that Roadkill keeps it real -it even encourages me to actually work on my junk! rather than just being disappointed that i can't afford anything that is featured on TV. Long live Roadkill.
Honestly I think those corporate guys in Motortrend are giving themselves less credit than they deserve for spreading out the American car culture. There's no easier way for a guy like me from Hong Kong to know about muscle cars than right here on TH-cam and honestly they need to give us back the free roadkill
How dare you . Put the 68 lights back on . Don`t play with her ass .
2x4 Barrels no looks badass
2x4 Barrels the 68 lights look so much better than the 2015 lights
"dont play with her ass"
excuse me? this car wouldn't even be here right now if it wasn't for Roadkill, shut the fuck up.
Woahhh there bud, he was just talking about the tail lights
I think the reason for the stupid new lights is because they tie in with making the engine run. Think I read about it in Hot Rod that that's why they had to stick them in there. They have to go though. Ugly as hell.
Them saying they will never appear on a tv network sure didn’t age well.
That transition from the start of the "race" to the commercial break was amazing. These guys definitely know how to TV
Ah remember when roadkill didn’t sell out and just put the videos on TH-cam?
They didn't sell out, it was when discovery bought the company that owns motor trend they forced rk to take everything down, they didn't want to and are still pissed about it to this day
21:50 - 23:00 Haha. OMG, it's exactly like watching them american "reality" shows. Primo parody!
Imma buy me some dogdog food
ALL OF YOU HAVE BROUGHT ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD THANK YOU ALL LOVE IT ALL PLEASE CONTINUE
I've gotta get my hands on some of that dog dog food! my dog IS fat and lazy!!
#bringbackmynigganoah
I want some dogRoadkillDog food, too!!

+William Snyder: The real hilarity is that DDF redirects back to Roadkill's site!
Ikr
I'm mad that they got rid of the 68 Charger tail lights
+Nick DeBlasio They're back, the General Mayhem was at Sema with the 68 tail lights
+Jeiso Pá godêro oh good, the hellcat ones looked bad
Nick DeBlasio
they don't look THAT bad, but they don't fit with overall visual of the Charger mayhem.They had to let the hellcat lights because of eletric mish mash in the hellcats systems.
+Jeiso Pá godêro I get that they needed to use them at the time buying a die hard muscle car guy, especially Mopar, and the 68 Charger is my favorite partially because of the tail lights so in my opinion I dislike them, it's cool that you like them though
+Nick DeBlasio but I'm, not buying
Gas Money is fake and stupid. I just can't watch it at all.
richid rorlings is da best!
+Art Vandelay he's also a dick
Are you mad because they lost
LOL, no. I decided Gas Money was completely unwatchable long before this ever happened. Besides that, I find the very idea of getting mad over the result of some drag race between two modified cars I don't own pretty funny.
roadkill is better
I love how at 23:19 the fastest car at their track was a '69 Superbee followed closely by a lifted Cummins 4x4. Those trucks and no joke!!
Just putting it out there...I don't like the new tail lights on the Mayhem
+itchysp They have processors in them, and were necessary to get the whole Hellcat CANBUS system working. I think they may have figured it out, and the stock lights are back.
Same here there not terrible but it does look a little weird
+itchysp Yup.
+itchysp watch till the end... he says they look bad and they want the stock ones back
I was kind of surprised when I saw them I thought they were kind of neat and unique, albeit the second generation new charger lights would have worked better.
Granted the obvious high technology kills the sleeper status of it but it made me think of what a 2015 Cuda/duster/AMX would look like
the RHD Daytona blew my mind, holy shit that was cool
That thing is XXX Hardcore car porn. Like German porn.
never liked the fake twats at GMG. Roadkill will always be way more entertaining
Cameron Ledward TRUTH. GMG SUCKS ASS
yeap
GMG sucks, but roadkill did the same thing they claim to hate to their car, outsourcing the work to someone else
Cameron Ledward total agree
What about now? This comment aged well
OMG - your takeoff on the usual reality tv douchbaggery is priceless. Especially the cut back from commercial only to retell the last eight minutes of storyline. Go Roadkill!!!
Roadkill could you please test what it takes to run over a stop sign?
In a lot of driving games you barely slow down when you hit a small sign.
I suspect IRL you will need a pickup or bigger due to ride height and weight
Stop signs are cemented into the ground usually, you would cause serious damage, regardless of the car.
+The Real Plato
It depends on how the stop sign is manufactured. I hit one dead on the front bumper in a 2007 Malibu and only heard the noise (I was driving at night, and the sign was somehow non-reflective?), didn't feel the impact. I was probably doing like 40mph. The stop sign was mounted on a wooden post, not a metal one, but as far as I could tell afterwards, the car was not damaged.
+sleepybird09
I had some passengers distracting me (in an unfamiliar car on unfamiliar roads), so I made an early lane change, and the sign was set into one of those low medians in between two left turn lanes/cutouts on a main strip, one right after the other, so I went into the first one intending for the second one, and couldn't get back into the main driving lane because it was blocked by another car, so I just kept going as I was looking back to see if I could merge, and heard the sharp crack of wood splintering.
good idea *****
+The Real Plato Not much, we had someone in the area run over a sign on a metal post (not cemented in) at roughly 10-15mph (guy was drunk and made a really wide turn) they didn't realize it until they started hitting potholes while the sign was still stuck under the car.
You guys got beat!
They had a hellcat motor hooked up to to a two speed drag transmission! They spent days with a computer tech to get the hellcat motor to talk with the drag transmission.
Plus their car was much lighter and they built it into a real drag car.
Yes they broke all the rules and it was not a street legal car.
Yeah they cheated that's all that needs to be said
@@sadflute8639 they won, that’s what needs to be said
please put the old taillights back on it... pleeaaasssee :D
+Tim Wendt yea they should!
+Tim Wendt you didn't watch the whole vid, did you?
+Tim Wendt Did you even watch it to the end?
+Tim Wendt they had to do the tail lights because if one bit of the electrical system isn't plugged in (on a modern car) the car wont move...Like if you take the stereo out, nope car broke wont move....that sorta thing
***** keep calm bro.. i havent watched the whole vid.. Shift Z Channel then they should have put them in the trunk or sth xD
I am so stoked to hear that you guys are sponsored by Dodge and Ma Mopar!!! Hell yeah Hellcat!! I wish I had know about you guys years ago but I have been stationed in Germany and the Middle East since 2008 so I def missed out. Funny Enough I only heard about you guys because of another great TH-cam show called DeBoss Garage! Keep up the high quality work gentlemen! Now time for the 4BT swap in my Jeep!
i love how they said they cant mention the show yet showed the guys shirt
+adagata1 I think that it was because only them mentioning or showing it is not allowed, but if it's there otherwise it doesn't matter.
+Tomikos995 but his shirt was gaffed out in the next scene
not gonna lie.. it sounded better with the 440 in it
boer harms I agree 😂
Sounded better, but didn't have 707 HP
truth
Doug Payne *950hp
True. That 440 sounded like the apocalypse.
Have you guys thought of doing a track-day event in the c4? Or maybe even a offroad build for Alaska or rockclimbing? It was quite a capable car
They did a track day in the VetteKart in Oklahoma during the Roadkill Takes America event. Back then they said it'll be aired Decemberish.
+alscort93 Decemberish, my favorite month.
21:07 HELL YEAH! DAYTONA! One of the BEST Dodges ever made.
so youre not on reality tv because its not real well i hope it stays that way
They're not on reality tv because they don't have time. They're job first and foremost is to run a magazine...
yeah i know i was joking
yeah
Its Faker Then Nicki Manaj's Ass
What's better: getting to build new toys, or being a meat puppet? That's rhetorical, of course - reality tv is a crock.
"This car doesnt even feel that illegal."
Road kill. You guys are number1 in my book. You guys have personality and that right there makes you top dog. GmG only has money. They buy what they need. You guys build what you need and that sets you way apart from the other wanna beeees. Road kill for the win.
except roadkill didnt build the car this time...
gmg built their car
Richard Tuck suure
I'm really impressed with the quality and the soul of the show, and I love your stance on entertainment.
Lol I'm 13 and from New Zealand but I love your videos
Aye same haha from Hamilton u
+1 and only g4mer I'm 43 and from New Zealand and I love the as well HAHAHA
+1 and only g4mer I'm 13 and from Australia, and I think this i epicness
+DionDoesGaming same o love there videos
So am I
Gas chicken garage are just but hurt that they lost
+gamenationX GMG cheated anyway
+gamenationX I thought they won?
+Onternt Varata GMG was first across the finish line, but they broke every single one of the rules that were set.
+Special K If you don't mind, what rules did they break? I don't want to watch their show.
Loebane All of them. I went and watched the GMG show and they said they didnt care about what rules were set and they were just ganna go ahead and make the car their way after they said they would listen to any rules set out by Roadkill. Also, the entire time of the episode of GMG, they made fun and Finnegan. (Or how ever you spell his last name)
Television is dying, can't wait till it's dead. GMG cheated on every rule and now they cant even show it online. But you know whats worst of all? Dodge has so much of a cockhold on Roadkill, that's all we're going to see is Dodge. Their aftermarket and modern hotrod scene is almost non-existant in relation to the other two big guys. Please bring back the old Roadkill.
+Allen Reyes I, too, believe that this is why they didn't do it themselves...
I agree with you on every aspect, however man dont shit talk Dodge, they're a good company.
TYL3R I'm not shit talking, I'm just telling it how it is. The Hellcat was a step in the right direction, but it's gonna take time.
+jarjarlol ya i guess you're right, but when they do finally perfect it, its gonna be one hell of a ride
+jarjarlol lol they're stopping production on this boat 2018.
I love the alignment of the steering wheel at 13.36 😂
when is general coming back to a rally spec car please tell me
hoppefully never
you suck
GRAHDY CARR
god for me
GRAHDY CARR kkkki
Takumi Fujiwara Don't know about you, but i prefer the old 440 and the rally / dirt racing mayhem over the hellcat drag race mayhem
Detroit doesn't have cops lmaoo
They said the cops would just watch get hearing aids
Geez, this is like putting the brain of a child into the body of an old man.
I see your point, but I see it more as "heart of a boy in the body of a man"
That's one sexy old man. xD
+SonicGamer a sexy child
Tyler Christiansen The '68 Charger looks way better than the latest Hellcat in my opinion.
+SonicGamer Yeah well I'd take either one, but my wife would prefer roadtripping in the Hellcat LOL
Haven't been inspired to want to buy a new Dodge since the NASCAR days when the cars felt "real"... Good job, Road Kill and Dodge: Now I want to go out and buy a new Dodge again! Thanks for being a REAL car company that cares about enthusiasm!
I wonder why the General Maintenance has more supercharger whine than the General Mayhem. Don't they have the same engine?
+napalmnn The exhaust system in the General Mayhem is louder. The whine is there, it's just harder to notice x)
+napalmnn I was thinking the same
the general mayham has alouder exhaust
the general mayham has alouder exhaust
+Oswaldo Ortiz The general mayhem probably doesn't have cats or restrictive stock exhaust (at least it shouldn't) so you have more power and more noise.
tv's dead to me anyway.
i throw up on those tail lights
Good. Throw up for no reason. They've been long gone and they were only hooked up in the first place so the modern electronics would work. It wouldn't run without them.
???
+Rusty Toolbox
☝
Rusty Toolbox the inside is ok the out is not so good
I was too at first but they are growing on me
My favourite episode of your show!You should defenetly show the general more often on your episodes.SALUTE YOU MY FAVS!
gmg are total cunts. ignoring the rules. being dicks about the race. and to think i actual liked watching those guys. fuck em.
Ok I am totally lost. I only watch roadkill and have no idea what just went down. Who is GMG, what happened between them and Roadkill?
@endseeker they didnt follow the rules...they brought a car that was a 1000lbs lighter and just basically cheated. You can google it or watch the race on youtube and see for yourself..those clowns just ignored the rules probably because roadkill didnt actually build the car but i can see why they gave it to someone else because 1: they specialize in it and 2: time wise.
need to move on
Not to keep kicking a dead horse, but didn't the Roadkill guys wait until GMG had already started building their car to specify the rules? Hot Rod has an article on it.
jsteph54 the roadkill guys admitted this in the show that they had insiders and they created the rules to screw with them because they already knew what they were building. only watched it the other day
This was when roadkill was cool! This was why they didn't have some cable show bullshit. Now we can't watch motor trend anything in Australia! Bring back road kill.
Can someone make a wallpaper of 19:01?
thanks! it looks awesome!
+Flat4Buggy Can you send it to me aswell
+Flat4Buggy Can you send it to me aswell
Flat4Buggy Thanks! But where do I check for it.
+Flat4Buggy me.. Please. Please sent me one :)
I started watching Fast n' Loud a while back. Saw the episode related to this drag. It immediately started to hate Rawlings and the whole show after watching a few episodes. I just found Roadkill a couple weeks ago, so I've been binge watching like crazy! I'm glad y'all kept the integrity of the rules. Awesome episode and build.
Roadkill still wins in my garage''
Fastest way to drive a late model auto Mopar put it in D and keep it there don’t touch the stick, drop it to first gear with the paddles, pedal to the floor and hold it straight let the car do the job, of course in your fastest drive mode the car will perfect shift every single time the millisecond it’s going to hit the rev limiter it puts it in the next gear you’ll never feel it slow down between shifts
guys please please just get spray cans and just paint it road kill style
no. it's fine the way it is. That's like saying paint the general Lee. no you will get your ass beat.
Lol
+Matthew Dolbey hell no!!! it looks like that car from adam sandler's album p**** of s*** car on steriods! lol
Road Kill is the best ,cool ass,car show there is,hats off!!
I was wondering if you guys could, da swap a 2010-2015 Ford Taurus please. I know it will be expensive but it will be a good experience to see a Ford Taurus finally has a v8
^^^^ I meant V8 SWAP ^^^^
+headgamer4297 that would be nice, but dont get your hopes up, because remember their sponsorship is with dodge, not ford...
+headgamer4297 uh dude, go look up the SHO. YAMAHA POWER.
+thetriode Ford SHO FTW!
General mayhem slaps harder than will smith
I lost it at the fake add for dogdogfood.com...
And that is why GMG will never be in the same class as you guys. You guys rock!
can I just say, fuck coal rolling on drag strips. It just flat out annoying when some guy is putting out a literal smoke screen as they drive by.
Dec I've seen diesel trucks leave the strip without rolling coal and it took off very slowly compared to a truck that was spewing black smoke, so rolling coal must do something about power
because afaik, rolling coal = running rich as fuck and high boost.
thegrassmaster2 It does not. Its just about being bad at tuning cars or using low quality Pumps and injectors.
TheNecromancer6666 lol I hope you're trolling or know very little about Diesel performance. You would be right if we were talking about daily driving efficiency but not max power at a drag strip. Not debating the annoyance of 100 kids with a chipped truck fogging out a track but take a look at the guys like firepunk diesel making around 2000hp in a pickup, lots of smoke and I would bet they aren't using anything low quality....
Bob D I am from europe where we know how to really build engines. If your Diesel is smoking you are throwing away A LOT of power with a slow flamewall. As with any engine the cleaner, the more powerfull. If it would make it faster Audi LMP1 Diesels would have smoked.
how much is a new Hellcat in the US? In Europe it cost 90 000 Euro :(
I'm not sure what the conversion ratio of Euros to U.S dollars is, but a new Charger Hellcat will run you $65,000 Where it's made.
it's the equivalent of 58000 euros here in America
+hirr1 Wow cry me a river in norway it costs 200 000 USD
+martin8865 i was in norway once. everything there is fucking expensive. but you get a lot of discount on electric cars lol. enjoy
+mxer4 why would you drive a hellcat at 85mph lel
Fucking god damnit, 3:30AM and im trying to go to sleep. now im not going to sleep until 4. Assholes, seriously, fuck you guys.
You dont need to watch it when your sleeping you can always watch it after you wake up your not gonna die or anything when you dont watch the video :)
+Jad De guzman actually once you start you must watch till the end otherwise you will die in seven days
+Jad De guzman first world problems
I like the way you all build cars and stuff. It's awesome
.... Dodge is taking this shit over.
+Savage Tilley AND now that i seen the inside of the general I don't love it anymore :( i like it but .. 68/15 i don't love it.
+Savage Tilley they had too. the hellcat motor wouldn't run without any of those things hooked up due to the computer.
Those tv guys sound like huge assholes.
+Based God Oh they are. I used to watch their show because of the badass cars. And they ARE good at making them.
But Rick is a total asshole. His mechanic is cool though. But Rick puts the Douche in Douchebag. All he ever does, as far as driving a car, is stick his head out a window while doing doughnuts and screaming "WHOOOOO!" at the top of his lungs. Then he goes off and has a beer and bitches about how his mechanic doesn't work quick enough and how he never has any money.
Guy's a total dick.
+Based God Who cares we got to see a Dayton in the wild.
Anyone gonna talk about how fast the blue Cummins was 😅😅
Cummins suck
I love the engine sounds when they do burnouts side by side, the old charger "BRAAAAAAPPPPP!!", the new charger "WHEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWW..WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!"
