Funny Car Dirt Drags!
What happens when you buy a Funny Car on the internet and then try to race a Top Eliminator Sand Drag Car with a methanol-fueled blown big-block Chevy 540 making over 2,000 hp on DIRT? This time on Faster With Finnegan, we find out as Finnegan, Cotten, and Newbern transform a one-of-a-kind '73 Opel Funny Car into a dirt-roosting machine with a small-block 406 making 686 hp at the paddle tires!?
Vette Kart vs. 700-hp Pro2 Truck!
Can the Vette Kart get even better? Yes it can. This time on Faster With Finnegan, the dream of long-travel suspension on the "slightly modified" '85 C4 Corvette known as Roadkill's Vette Kart finally comes true for Finnegan, Newbern, and Cotten. Brad DeBerti joins the guys to help them figure out how to not "taco" the front end as they take on a Pro2 truck and an off-road short course.
Waterless Boat Racing
Who said boats need water to have fun? This time on Faster With Finnegan, Newbern, Cotten, and Finnegan take a 1974 Cadillac with a 472ci V-8 to a waterless boat race. What kind of race is that, you ask? It's where you tether a boat to a car and drag it around a dirt track while trying to smash other racers' boats. The one with the most boat left in the end wins. What could go wrong?
Drift Pinto: Ford vs. Ferrari!
Can a 2.3L 1980 Ford Pinto with 88 hp compete with a 1,000-plus-hp Ferrari 599 GTB? It's possible, especially because the sport of Drifting is judged. This time on Faster With Finnegan, Newbern and Cotten surprise Finnegan with a Pinto Wagon and drift lessons from pro Formula Drift driver Federico Sceriffo before adding a 396ci stroker engine and suspension mods to help slay the Pinto's tires.
Motorhome Wheelies!
Can a motorhome wheelie? This time on Faster With Finnegan, we find out what it takes to put the tires in the air as Finnegan, Newbern, and Cotten do some wheelie R&D with a 1978 GMC Class C motorhome with a small-block 400, Turbo 400 trans, and 14-bolt rear. With the help of daredevil and Pro Wheelstander Mike Mantel, the guys take on the challenge of making dreams become reality.
Wheelie Motorhome vs. Little Red Firetruck!
The build continues this time on Faster With Finnegan, as the motorhome's 400 V-8 gets supercharged and Finnegan, Cotten, and Newbern attempt to make their '78 Class C GMC hang the tires in the air against Pro Wheelstander Mike Mantel and his Little Red Firetruck. The guys solid-mount the rear axle, shift weight, and construct the largest wheelie bar we've ever seen, but will it all work?
Scamborghini: The Lambo Beater
Can a knock-off kit car beat a real Lamborghini? This time on Faster With Finnegan, Newbern, Cotten, and Finnegan attempt to beat a Lamborghini Gallardo for a fraction of the price. Armed with a beater Fiero-based Countach kit car, which looks good from far but is far from good, the guys drop in a new V-8 and take on the Lambo in a series of track tests. Things definitely get heated.
Minivan Drags: Meet the Momsoon
In the '90s, GMC gave us two rare AWD 4.3L turbo V-6 versions of its small pickup and SUV in the form of the Syclone and Typhoon. But why didn't the minivan platform get the same love? This time on Faster With Finnegan, Cotten, Newbern, and Finnegan try their hand at taking on the high-perf GMCs by creating an AWD twin-turbo-powered ultimate soccer mom sleeper Safari van, the Momsoon.
Road Racing Pinto Redemption!
The 1980 Chevy V-8-powered Ford Pinto Wagon named Gretta is back. This time on Faster with Finnegan, Newbern, Cotten, and Finnegan attempt a time attack run at redemption for Gretta around a road course after suspension upgrades and handling mods. Our dear friend from Italy, Federico Sceriffo, brings back his now turbocharged 1,100-hp Ferrari 599 GTB to see who can lay down a faster lap.
True Grassroots Racing: 60+mph Lawn Mowers!
There's nothing more grassroots than a fast mower. This time on Faster With Finnegan, Newbern, Cotten, and Finnegan take on professional lawn mower racer and land speed record holder Bobby Cleveland in a series of ridiculous races on some heavily modified mowers. These small-engine machines usually top out at under 5 mph, but what happens when the guys push them to 60 mph and beyond?
Ice Racing Convertible Man-iata!
The '91 Mazda Miata that got sprayed and launched uphill is back. This time on Faster With Finnegan, Cotten, Newbern, and Finnegan find the perfect new challenge for their lifted convertible: a race over a frozen lake. After upgrading the broken rear end, the guys take on the International Ice Racing Association to see if they can hang with their blistering speeds around the ice.
Project Car Showdown!
Newbern, Cotten and Finnegan see which project car handles the best on pavement and dirt against an unworthy competitor in a hilarious showdown. Will the Momsoon, Pinto, Funny Car, Maniata or Mower be victorious as these vehicles face off on the track?
