The highly anticipated episode of Roadkill season 2 named '67 Crusher Camaro vs '70 Super Bee 1,500-Mile Burnout-Fest!' takes the audience on an exciting journey. The show begins with hosts David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan tracking down a 1967 Crusher Camaro that was recently restored. The Camaro was originally built as a 6-second drag car but was now sitting in a junkyard for several years. The hosts bring it to their garage and start working on a plan to revive this classic car to its former glory.
In the meantime, Finnegan goes on a hunt for a worthy opponent for the Crusher Camaro. After scouring car shows and racetracks, he finds a 1970 Super Bee. This car was owned by a collector who had driven it only 1,500 miles. The hosts then decide to take both cars on a long road trip and put them to the test.
The show then takes a turn to the burnout contest. The two cars are pitted against each other in a burnout competition in a deserted airstrip in California. Both cars rev up their engines and proceed to create massive smoke and dust clouds. As they reached their limit, the engines exploded with thunderous sounds, and the cars finally came to a stop after a minute of an epic burnout.
The next scene was a series of challenges between the cars. The hosts made a to-do list for each car, which included drag racing, autocross, and even jumping cars through a wooden ramp. The Crusher Camaro performed exceptionally well, and it was clear that the hosts had done a great job in restoring it. The Super Bee, on the other hand, was struggling to keep up with the Camaro.
The episode takes an exciting turn when the hosts decide to take both cars to a drag race track. The cars are completely stripped out to make them lightweight and fast. The Camaro and the Super Bee race each other down the strip, emitting deafening engine sounds as they accelerate towards the finish line. The results of the race were surprising, and it was clear that the hosts had set up a very close contest.
The show hits a climax when Finnegan takes the Camaro to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah to attempt breaking the 200 mph barrier. The Camaro was fitted with new engines and transmissions that boosted its power to over 1000 hp. The hosts had to carry out extensive modifications to the car's suspension, aerodynamics, and wheels to make it capable of achieving high speeds.
The show ends with a massive cliffhanger. Finnegan puts his foot down on the accelerator and attempts to break the 200 mph barrier. The scene was tense, and the cameras captured the car's speedometer as it gradually rose towards 200 mph. As the car reached 198 mph, a tire blew out, and the car veered off-track. Finnegan was lucky to avoid an accident, and the camera crew were relieved they were able to record the action.
Overall, the episode '67 Crusher Camaro vs '70 Super Bee 1,500-Mile Burnout-Fest!' was an exciting mix of restoration, challenges, and speed. It is a must-watch for any petrolhead, and it's guaranteed to leave the viewers in awe. Roadkill season 2 episode 19 has indeed set the bar high for the upcoming season.
