    Mon, Apr 4, 2022
    Always test-drive a car before you buy, or if you're Roadkill, wait until after purchasing. This time on Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan buy an '86 Trans Am and take it for its first road test on the drag and drive event known as Sick Week. With a swapped 350 V-8 and six-speed transmission, the big question is, will they be able to make it faster each day or even finish the race at all?
    Show moreShow lessRide along with HOT ROD's David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan as they continue their love/hate relationship with hot rods, street machines and other highly strung performance vehicles. In Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan hit the road in everything from a 1968 Ford Ranchero to a 1500 horsepower Camaro called the F-Bomb. Just getting to their destination is an adventure.Year started: 2012

    I used to pay for this show. But because I live in the UK Motor Trend decided they didn't want my money and I couldn't watch it any more. Thank you for uploading these, long may it continue

      Exactly the same. I was still willing to pay to be able to watch, but as my cards are uk registered, won’t let me. Can’t say I’ve not tried. So glad can still watch it. Thanks to the channel for uploading.

    This was 2022, I was a participant! On the final day on Friday I tried a hero pass and had a nitrous backfire. Blew my truck intake apart and spent three days at the track working on it. Glued it back together and fired it up only to hear a bolt bouncing around in a cylinder. My wife drove all the way from East Texas, we rented a uhaul trailer loaded it up and hauled it home. Two years later, I have had 9 surgeries, the last being an amputation of my right foot. The truck is still sitting in my driveway with the hurt motor. But I am still glad to have done it!

    I asked an old timer if he knew how to break in a clutch super fast you qualify sat race sunday i was #3 qualifier, so he said sure and i quote, he told me to to turn around in the face back window and push the clutch in and out 500 times, once done wait 20mins and repeat, i was 19 very tired getting car i ended up by grace of god won the even, at the end i asked him why did i have to do that backwarsa, he said well i didnt think you would actually do it backwards, better yet i didnt think u would belive me on that bullshit of pushing clutch in and out 1000 times

    I loved this era of firebird when they came out. Mostly because the 200mph Gale Banks with the Gotti wheels on it, but hey... Of course NO Firebird will touch my heart like the 1970-1978 models. Sorry 79-81, but you were ugly from the second they changed the header panel. They ruined my dream car, haha.

    Yes, it is a Corvette-style pull-clutch. My 1988 IROC had the 1st ever conversion from 700r4 to T-56 6-speed, back in the early 1990s. He used a braided hydraulic line set-up from the Corvette of the time. In stock form, the ZF6 uses a "Pull style" clutch, similar to the LT1-T56 transmission. The only difference is, a ZF6 does NOT use a sprung hub clutch disc, but rather uses a dual-mass flywheel with integrated springs between the mounting surface and the friction surface. Centerforce had to make me a special 6-puck Kevlar clutch, us my SC 383 was smoking their "racing" clutch.

      David, Steve, Mike, Lucky & Tony all have their own channels here on YT.
      This is an upload of the episode by another channel, which is why its poor quality
      Still great for those of us outside of the US.
