I agree with RJ72. If nothing else, the interest is being passed along. Maybe some kid will get lucky and get a good Mopar mentor one day.
Wouldn't let any of those shows touch my car..except for Fantom motorworks and Dave Kindit they produce some nice stuff,and act like real professionals..
Those gas monkey guys probally didn't make much money on that dart, I mean after arron bragged that he could make it run without all the stuff Chrysler said it would need, he had to call in 2 other crews to work on the electrical/PCM issues. You can bet that was costly. However, I am sure the hellcat drivetrain was donated from Chrysler.
Ya ran a 5.80 on nitrous which works out to about a 6.80 on motor..big fing deal..$70k are you serious..
Dart didn't have N20 ,the Charger did....

the shows, by and large, are stupid. As per usual with most of these "reality" car shows, too much f'ing around and not enough about the cars that they are building. I will say this though, no way they got to where they are by putting out junk.. just because it's being built for TV doesn't instantly make it garbage - ...seems most of the "reviews" I've read about the cars on OverHaulin' lean to the positive side.. all of these guys are just average Joes who managed to make it work for them. I sense an edge of envy...
Not even Mark Worman? Yeah they fool around a little bit on that show. But if you wanted a great E or B body restoration you wouldn't consider Graveyard Carz?
He does everything back to stock(factory)..boring...
Wow...something we agree on...
Just lost a little respect for you..The roadkill clowns aren't any better. Both seem pretty stupid show wise. But I'll watch gas monkey before road kill.

I dislike Gas Monkey mostly due to the discovery channel, the stupid scenes they make the guys do are retarted, and the fact that Richard doesn't touch the car's anymore upsets me.. BUT you can't run a multi-million dollar car shop and work on the cars at the same time
The Dart was the first hellcat on a stand alone EFI, and first on E85 - even Chrysler said it couldn't be done! I'd bet it was making close to 1,000hp, as where the General Meyhem was a stone stock Hellcat setup - all the wiring from a hell cat (150lbs of it) was inside the car, instrument cluster, steering column.. Gas Monkey didn't have any of that..
Road kill, Engine masters, and the other Youtube shows are 1,000x better than Gas Monkey - for the sole reason that the road kill guys build the cars, and don't resell them! They tested recently on Engine masters if denting headers for clearance costs hp = it doesn't
