That’s what my 04 maxi 5spd auto supposed to do. That lil girl rips. My 94 Z28 M6 went 13.8@100 stock with Hurst shifter, K&N and hypertech with 160 stat. The stat and program did feel noticeable so like 10-15hp. Beat all kinds of cars on the way home from the dragstrip on the highway.. t-type Buick, eclipse gsx, C4 LT1, many fox bod, 04 mustang GT modded but barely pulled him and it sounded good have to say.. think it was that shit 3v 4.6 so that was impressive, 5.7 hemi charger.. lol but the 6.1 was close enough to be a driver thing at a stop light, grand national and my buddy’s fox 347 stroker, a cam heads intake and 4.10 fox.. that was close also but not as close as the 04 gt. On low like 26psi fuel psi edged out a C4 LT1 auto that took a running start from my bumper lol that car was great in it’s time, oh a black 01-02 cobra from 65-120ish then a turn a 45mph on the hwy with yellow blinking lights lol I had to rev match 4th while braking and when I did it fishtailed at around 75-80 oh and a 89 ish fox from 35-70ish and a turn over the river.. thought he would eat the wall from under steer.. was bad. I pulled him and in front. When I barely made it I glanced to the rear view and saw his nose planted and leaning thinking telepathy let off the brakes just a little. I waited at the light for him and he looked and did the motion like you wipe sweat off your brow... was almost sooo bad. That’s back when guys sometimes want to fight with no money on it. When you think someone can get hurt that shit doesn’t matter. I’m not like that anyway. I like being friendly but have had to get hard here and there.. that’s the guys with a small pp I bet lol hope you liked the stories. It’s mostly about timing and knowing your car and most non pros don’t. I’ve had 3 buddies learn to drive pretty hard from me coming up getting our licenses but I rode atv etc so advantage. I have one great race on my ch at the dragstrip. The last race is best. My Formula 400 RA III vs 79 TA LS1 4spd auto. Mine 3.42 gears stock stall and his 3.23 gears stock stall but he lower 1st gear trans. He had manifolds and me headers.

Making sure everyone was in focus and sounding better than if I heard them in person. The entire episode is edited keeping the attention right where it needs to be with no unnecessary external noises or volume spikes.

These guys all doing a roadkill type show would be amazing

[@bobbawon]

Would love to see them build on these cars for a season and do better challenges as they progress and possibly do new cars for each “season” of this show. A season wouldn’t necessarily have to be long maybe 3 episodes with each set of cars and also make vids of the builds on the cars

[@rya3190]

buy a car, travel back with said cars, finding tracks on the way back, then use the parts to improve the old ones?

[@mariuskirsininkas8197]

If u do next one on mud and Subaru gets fresh clutch it will beat anything u may think to do there without any worries I have Impreza myself n building same car as hrs for mud riding so I know what these things can do on mud just need few small things like 4.44 gear ratio + lsd diff n some angry tires and u go anywhere u want :)

Calling Cooper “James May” was the most accurate thing I’ve ever heard lol He didn’t even try to get a decent vehicle. Somebody going to have to babysit him next time 😆

[@toejamr1]

Ron Jones dint call him that lol. He’s a good dude but just seems to hate competing. I get nervous and screw up a lot too. He sabotages himself so he can blame the car instead of his choking.

[@maynard-1776]

captain slow lmao

[@ColonelK0rn1]

33:19 was absolutely hilarious what James did to Cooper. Great editing for the whole event. I hope the drone pilot recovered his drone. Suggestion for the next Freedom Games, each driver has a budget to buy the best car that they can for the other competitors, and then the drivers go round-robin in each car for each event, i.e. James buys a car for Cleet, then Cooper winds up having to drive it first, followed by James, then Cleet.

[@brian_sipe]

That was the cobalt.

[@FPSTed]

If you think this was well edited then you’re smoking crack. This was beyond half assed and it showed in more ways than one. Constant cuts, bad audio, no graphics or overlay effects, no segways... it was just cut up video from multiple cameras.

[@malthevolschow2015]

@@FPSTed what are you smoking?

[@brian_sipe]

@@FPSTed There's a fine line between well edited, and over-edited, but they can't edit in good audio if none exists, they're trying to make the video short enough to not put people off, and still have replays from different perspectives. This editing is perfectly fine.
