FASTEST Corvette EVER (6 speed record)
Can you imagine setting the world record for the fastest 6speed Corvette your FIRST time at the track?! This guy can – and he’s got nothing but room to improve. He hasn’t even hooked up the nitrous yet! What does it take to become the fastest 6speed Corvette? Well besides one hell of a driver mod – you’ll find a stroker 5.3L with a MASSIVE F1-x Procharger strapped to it, and lots of fuel of course! We can’t wait to see more from this car next time we’re in Charlotte!
LEGENDS THE SERIES – THE LEGEND OF DARRELL GWYNN
Early in 1990, 28-year-old Darrell “the Kid” Gwynn was being fitted for a crown that pundits assumed he would wear for years to come. Hailed as “the man who would be king,” he was heir apparent to Top Fuel legend “Big Daddy” Don Garlits to whom he had finished second in points in 1986. In little more than four pro seasons, he had won 18 races and finished no worse than fourth in the Top Fuel driver standings.

Willys Rescue, Road Trip, Thrash! – Roadkill Ep. 62
This episode of Roadkill powered by Dodge features a special guest cohost, JP Magazine Editor Rick Péwé, who has been doing barn-find rescues and road trips with David Freiburger since before there was a Roadkill. Freiburger and Péwé are at it again here, revisiting a 1946 Willys flatfender Jeep they first pulled from the fields of Utah back in 2001. The engine blew up a few miles into that trip 16 years ago, so the Jeep was left untouched in Freiburger’s garage for at least a dozen years—until now. After uncovering the Willys from piles of long-forgotten speed parts and boxes, the guys give the engine a super-cheap rebuild, fix up the brakes, and hit the road. Will the Roadkill curse strike even with Péwé at the wheel? We think you know the answer, but don’t worry—nothing will stop the team from big action with a small Jeep. Roadkill is back to normal with cohost Mike Finnegan next time. Though, come to think of it, this Jeep boondoggle is pretty normal for Roadkill, too
