Finnegan's Blasphemi vs. Freiburger's F-Rod! | Roadkill
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Finnegan and Freiburger go heads-up on the dragstrip in their eight-second project cars. After a road trip in the Blasphemi, the guys add a new supercharger and dyno tune the '55 Hemi-powered Chevy to over 1,000 hp, before seeing how its new tech holds up against Freiburger's old school, all-mechanical, big-block '31 Ford Model A.

If the f rod was yellow this would have been right out of American grafitti. Edit: oh my god yes I know the American graffiti car was a '32, 5 window which is different from the f-rod but who cares? They all look pretty much the same

Nothing compares to the OG Finnegan and Freiburger. Finnegan is just such a likable guy and Freiburger is such a geeky gear head. Finnegan's calm cool demeanor was perfect for Roadkill. This is the BEST

Ive been waiting for this. Love both of those cars!
Great content from these two as always.
Epic. Beautiful. Two fantastic cars, two cool guys, too cool race!
I don't drive anymore, but I enjoy watching you all!!!
That was a race,good stuff fellers!!!!
Both of these car are my dream cars ..love em both .
Love it guys thanks for sharing stay safe blessings everyone
I remember meeting you guys and seeing Blasphemi when you did Power Tour in Baton Rouge back in 2016.
When I was a teen in the 60`s those were my favorite hot rods both of those cars are fantastic.
The whole “get out the laptop” deal is for the birds. Guys were putting shoebox chevys in the 10s without all that jazz more than 50 years ago.

AND THEY WERE DOING IT WITH A SMALL BLOCK.....nobody was running 8's with a 55 back then though. any doubters can check the National record holders in AHRA, and nhra....I don't think the Moutain motor governing body that invented Pro Mod had as many class racers(IHRA) If they did I never payed attention as the fact they always did everything nhra was too scared to do was what caught my attention.
Thanks you two for making fresh content. Mike, stop breaking stuff… lol. I got the t-shirt that says it all. Parts eater.😂🎉
Good stuff!!! Bracket racing last run??? or a couple of bulbs burned out on our side of the tree?? Deep stage right lane, Red light left lane, Right lane scoreboard had win light on--maybe

Great episode! I love Blasphemi but I agree with Freiburger that simplicity is the better way to go. I'll take that A-Bone over the '55. The only thing it needs is about a 4 inch haircut and it would be perfect!
Oh please let us watch this in Australia again already, miss this show
Mike would still be the man with a power glide! Would love to see it run without all the shifting and clutch issues

When will MTOD be available in Australia?
I always thought Blasphemi would be fit from having a Lenco Transmission.
If only motortrend didn’t completely ruin this show
Did I watch this on discovery+ yes. I think more of this should be on KZread anyway that's where it all started

Blasphemi is a BEAST.
Wait with the hosts going head-to-head who will take over hosting duties for the race...."Special guest host Steve Dulcich here!".

Are there any videos available showing the model A going 261mph at Bonnneville. That would be very impressive for a car that is not very aerodynamic. Please show me the video of it going that fast.
Still love ol skool.

Great race… ❤❤❤ I want some?
I miss when roadkill used to be available in the UK, apparently £4/month *on top* of prime isn't enough.

A Chevy with a blown hemi and a Ford with a rammed Chevy, very cool. Would be interesting if they swapped motors and raced again.
First pass, David saluting!
Blasphemi is the Hot Rod of Theseus.
