If you want to see what’s “breaking the Internet” this year, forget Kim K.’s giant greasy buttcheeks. Look no further than to our friends at Roadkill and the challenges that the Internet has suggested for them. Lots more attention has been focused at the Roadkill vs. Gas Monkey Garage deal, mainly due to everyone’s love-’em-or-hate-’em take on Richard Rawlings and crew. What a big contingent of people haven’t given any foresight to is the other link-up with these two guys: Marty and Moog from Australia’s Mighty Car Mods. These guys are gearheads, and their videos are mostly tweaking, tuning and testing and less about the cornball stuff, but when Mad Max: Fury Road came out earlier this year, they couldn’t resist playing up the Aussie connection to the film and built up “Mod Max”, a Nissan S15 packing an LS swap and bodywork for a post-apocalyptic scene. If you are quick to compare it to Roadkill’s General Mayhem Charger, you are on the money.
Here they pit Mod Max up against another staple project: Super Gramps, the second version of a built up Subaru Liberty (Legacy) wagon. Originally a mid-1990s version, that car was flooded out during a freak rainstorm while in preparation for paint, so “Super Gramps”, a fourth-gen wagon built to run 11 second quarters while still being a daily driver. The surface: muddy clay racetrack. The bet: best 2 out of 3. Which will win? Boosted AWD wagon or V8 RWD sociopath-mobile? Click play below to watch!
