F-Bomb Camaro Update! - Roadkill Extra 

Fun fact : They actually used the weight method every car did a wheelie.

Ya know what David Freiburger? The ULTIMATE Roadkill episode for the F-Bomb would be to road trip it all the way to Loring Maine for the standing mile meet. A hair's breadth away from honest to goodness coast to coast. The longest Roadkill road trip ever in the fastest most powerful Roadkill car ever. Don't waste time thinking about it. Just do it.

No one wants "roadkill extra" we want roadkill again!!!

I remember reading the Hot Rod article about this build a long time ago, and when I saw recognized it in Fast and Furious 4 it put a huge smile on my face. It's cool to see that it's still in your possession, even if you don't get to drive it a lot.

this is the one car he owns that ISN'T rusted

cool to learn that the movie was based off your Camaro. i thought it was the other way around.

the charger in the back, isnt that the one dom drives in the end of furious 7 before he parts with the supra?

Can road kill come back it was my fav

hmm it's been 1month and where's the next roadkill?

I've been to the Louvre in France and seen the Mona Lisa in person, which is inarguably considered a masterpiece. I gotta tell you, the moment Freiberger opened up the hood to this car and gave us a peek inside, THAT ENGINE, is a masterpiece. Nelson Supercars did an incredible job making an engine that functions as good as it looks, holy crap.

The F-Bomb and the Maximus Charger. 2 of my favourite muscle cars. Absolutely awesome pieces of machinery

...and maybe someday we will actually see a new episode of roadkill

Interesting knowing this guy created the legendary F-Bomb Camaro

Love this car. I like the center of the steering wheel. Nice touch. That engine compartment is juicy goodness.

As soon as the on-demand came out, I knew the youtube channel would suffer. No recent road kill episodes here. Oh well, all good things come to an end.

This cars engine was the inspiration for my Twin Procharged Camaro. 406 ci Dart SBC with AFR 245 heads, JE Forged dished Pistons, Dragon Slayer Crank and so on.... Thanks to Tom Nelson for revealing the build specs!

The F bomb will never be on a Roadkill episode because its reliable :D

I have always loved this car since Tom built it, and it's still one of my favorite builds. 1500 hp twin turbo V8 built by NRE and it's ridiculous. This car is an icon for sure.

"Maybe someday you'll actually see this thing in an episode of Roadkill" When they actually release an episode of Roadkill that is...

lol, what a sleeper car...love those manifolds and turbos

Looks like someone took a sharpie and colored the wheels. If you've ever colored something metal with a sharpie, it's like a chrome-ish black color.

I know this video is old, but "RPM" has available, and I can't say if they can get the same results with this car, but Garrett of the famous youtube channel: "Cleetus McFarland" ( made famous for being the very 1st stick shift GM car, a Corvette with all body panels removed known as "Leroy" to run a 7 second pass in the 1/4 mile ) bought a DIFFERENT C6 Corvette used at auction, for another project, threw a little junkyard 4.8 LS truck motor in it, PLUS BETTER PISTONS & RODS, AND PORTED HEADS, and a single turbo, wherein the company "RPM" built perhaps the very best 2 speed Power Glide being made today that comes complete with the rear end, their recommended gearing for that car, and torque tube, along with the entire shift kit for around $15,000. And on their very first try, they ran a 9:01, and that was on low boost ( motor can't handle full boost ). They will be running 8's here in no time. They decided to go ahead and have a roll cage made before making more runs. I don't know what "RPM" is doing to build their entire Power Glide w/rear end kit.......but they shaved off over a second off of their previous pass, from their previous transmission in the 1/4 mile on the very first try. And I just now remembered, they made that 9.01 pass as 2 or 3 of the plug wires MELTED during the run, causing the engine to drop at least 1 cylinder at the big end of the track, yet it STILL ran that extremely low 9........and during 3 different passes that day ( just recently ), they KEPT melting plug wires, the motor would drop a cylinder or 2, and they gave up for the day, until they do something different with routing & protecting the plug wires. And as I just mentioned, we are all now waiting on the roll cage to be fabbed & installed. KEEP YOUR EYE ON THEIR CHANNEL, BECAUSE THAT NEW POWER GLIDE TRANSMISSION BY "RPM" AS A COMPLETE SET-UP WITH REAR-END, BUMP-STOP, SHIFT KIT, THE WHOLE 9 YARDS..........WILL SEND THAT C6 WITH LITTLE TRUCK MOTOR & SINGLE TURBO DOWN THE 1/4 MILE IN 8 SECONDS..........YOU MARK MY WORD. Their complete Power Glide kit with rear-end alone made a world of difference in that car.

The F-Bomb one of my fav cars of all time. I followed every minute of this build. Knew the power-slip was not going to work. This car was my screen saver for may years. And yes it deserves an 8 second time slip.

This is not RoadKill. Just David talking about the F-bomb.

"It idles like a 400 hp stocker" I wish I had a stock car that had 400 hp. Shoot... I wish my modified car had 400 hp.

That engine install is super clean!

his sandals matches with those rims 😂

Remember those really cool shows that used to be on called Roadkill and Hot Rod Garage?

I remember reading an article about this car in middle school. I'm now a masters student, crazy how time flies.

You have the gift of the gab - I wish I could talk non-stop and still sound interesting like you do. However, just remember to take a breath every now and then, lol.

Good stuff Dave. Good information. Good video. I had known of the F Bomb's existence but didn't know anything else about it. Now I do. Thanks.

I want an actual episode of this car! I remember reading about this car way back in the day

I swear this car was at the good guys show in bowling Green last fall.

HOW CAN YOU HAVE EXTRA ROADKILL WHEN THERE IS NO FUCKING ROADKILL???

My favorite car in your collection. The thing is just badass.

My favorite Camero of all time

I swear we better get 2 roadkill episodes back to back.

I actually painted my bike chopper like this thing after I saw it. I fucking love it

“Tom Hardcore Nelson”!! Too Cool man

It was on fast and furious 4 almost at the end (Where dom kills phenix)

2:02 , that ghost on the roller door

I love how this video is about an American Muscle car, but there is a Lamborghini Diablo in the background.

had a 73 split bumper with 66 corvette 350 horse, it was green

I know this is an old video. What a gorgeous setup. 4000lbs? ! I love your vision and contribution to the automotive community Freiberger. I’m assuming your car collection will be part of your retirement plan one day. These iconic builds sure are fun. Thanks for what you do.

More Roadkill please! I'm hyped every since I bought a magazine with the Stubby Bob episode in it :D

Are you sure you had nothing to do with the Bad Seed Chevette? Biggest GM engine in the smallest RWD car. Had "Freiburger" written all over it. And I mean that as a compliment, man!

Only been up minutes and already the busta's coming out to complain. "I'm angry about stuff I get for free". Maybe skip the 12th beer once a month so you can afford the $6 for on demand?

I would LOVE to see the F Bomb on an episode of Roadkill!!!!!

Sad reality for such a cool car. It should be enjoyed more. I love it

I would love to see a episode of roadkill with David and Steve do dragweek in the F-Bomb.

hey? in road kills intro, what kind of engine is that, that cranks and dies? i think it sounds like an old dodge with a slant 6 225, what do you people think ??

please do drag week with this

Cool to see this car again. I remember seeing it when it was featured in hotrod. I gotta say the car just looks legit. That engine just looks so comfortable in there. Be nice to just see the car finished.

Wow! When you opened the hood I had a flashback to a Nova sleeper with dog dish hubcaps, Mexican blanket upholstery, and totally hidden roll cage that I saw and lusted after in some magazine years ago... I think the engine was made by the same guy? I'd like to see that car again!

And a late Diablo in the background?!

that motor is crazy

I just want to cry everytime I see one of those here Camaros I had a 72 350 4 speed loved it 295 50 tucked LA to the ground Pro Street when it wasn't called ProStreet I really miss that car head on collision with a Subaru super rude Rover lines went home on a flatbed

Maximus chillin on the side over there

this car was ahead of its time. they built it before second gen camaros and od green were cool.

A full roadkill episode of trying to get this car to run 8s would be dope.

Thanks for the wrap up on the f bomb buddy! I think i remember seeing it last on when you guys built the jeeprod! ✌️

remember back in they olden days when there was only roadkill and it was free

I don't want to see the F-bomb on Roadkill because that means A. it's not going to run, or B. it's going to break down :(

That is one of the coolest Camaros in the world. It stands out in a field crowded with a lot of cool cars, but it's an original take and it's Badass.

This car is a dream for me I would love to own this car OMG.

RU-vid asked me to insert a quarter into my phone to see this _free_ episode

finally a roadkill extra about the f bomb =)

I will never know how you know so much David !

We need to see this in road kill again

Awesome car David....

BMR makes some excellent IR suspension, some kits requiring no welding at all. You may have to swap over to a 3rd member rear end with a swing axle CV differential, but you can also just swap over to coil overs, as leaf springs are old news. I know 2nd gens used leaf springs until the 3rd gen came out, but that was one of the reasons 3rd gens could outhandle Mustangs on the circuit. This being a streetable drag car, having adjustables will make a big difference on the track, and even handle on the streets better too, lot more control of the horsepower.

Mr Friberger, You have a life!

They should take that up to Alaska on the ice track that would be a killer episode

Thanks for this episode. I had no idea the F-bomb was that sorted out.

They should bring the F-Bomb Camaro and the Crusher Camaro up to central Wisconsin's Iola Car show this year. This years theme is Camaro's and Firebirds.

david, I am a super fan back to your broken ankle at surprise canon. i figured this car was gone. often thought about it and even saw a few copies. kinda hoped for more nice shit in roadkill

Freiburger is a legend.

That can is an icon an I remember when Tom did the motor to the FBomb an the charger in the background

I like that 68 charger in the back around

Opened that bonnet - holy fuckin' shit!

Now do the charger in the background, that thing is a with of art.

David Freiburger nice to see you in the f body club again

that hood alignment is killing me

i would have no hesitation or regret about making the F-Bomb my daily driver.

You guys killed such a good thing.

That is what we all want. We want to pay to hear Frybooger tell us about how he is so busy he doesn't have time to play with his toys while wearing his sister's shoes. You guys should charge 19.99 a month for MTOD, that way it would die peacefully.

the engine compartment is pure art

I had a 72 Camaro RS Placer Gold metallic with a white vinyl top and white interior 350 with 2bbland automatic

Two things first more Roadkill!!! Two that engine compartment is a work of beautiful art and yeah Army green!

This car looks like what a gangster would drive

i really love this car!

wow. the disco nova. I forgot all about that build. I got couple issues of that build somewhere

Freiberger i could binge on your knowledge!!☝👌

Friburger sportin them sandles

Cool car...please show more on that late 40's / 50's era pickup back there in the background.

I'm picturing that car in a semigloss Grabber blue. The olive drab was cool for a while, but it's starting to wear a little thin.

oh yeah and it was good to see the F-bomb be safe brother

Time for Bonneville Salt Flats top speed run. Don't be scared,just do it!

that charger behind that camaro is the one from the fast 7 ending scene.

Bracket race, this against the Blasphemi for drag week. That'd be an awesome episode of Roadkill.
