I'm building a hand-built death-trap. It's a 1983 Nissan Patrol Safari two door. All Chevy drive train. 5.7 liter LT1 from a 1995 Impala SS, TH400 w/NP205 twin stick transfer case with Dana 60 front and GM 14 bolt full floater rear axles with 4.56 gears on 35" tires. Enough to get me in trouble...
I think I know why chicks dig rat rods...its because they know they'll get a similar experience to sitting on a washing machine during the spin cycle! 😂
@@kevinkirk4285 Make sure you give it a beefy cooling system so it doesn't overheat in traffic. Also make sure the ride height is just enough so it doesn't get beached on slightly sloping driveways. 😉
People will most likely look more at the rat rod because....All modern sports car look alike. Old cars have that charm and style that you don't get with modern cars that all look like a batmobile.
Crimson Sunrise They don't all look the same though do they? Are you telling me a Veyron looks identical to a DB9 or an R8 or a McLaren P1 or a koenigsegg regera? As for what looks ugly.....pretty much anything that has the words "rod" or "muscle" in the title. Un-imaginative, poorly built boxy cars that cant go round corners ;)
in texas the lambo would be praised over the rod.. i guess in LA since people see lambos and exotics all the time, the rods are rare, they are more popular.
Same Tennessee you have the occasional Ferrari or Lamborghini Gallardo but primarily the exotic cars where I live are higher end Jaguars like F Types and Maserati
Yep, I'm from Texas too and I've yet to see an exotic car, a Dodge Viper is the only one I've seen if you want to consider it an exotic car. But hot rods are everywhere
I am in Toronto and see Mclarens, Lambos, Ferraris and every other exotic on a daily basis in the summer. That rat rod would get WAY more attention here and not just from women
This kind of puts supercars into a totally new perspective. I've always dreamed about owning one but now I realize It's all about flash. You can't drive fast on roads unless you want to go to jail. If you want something just for speed don't get something that's way too expensive just because of who makes it.
Mr Iceman ummmm I’m surprised that for 24 hrs they didn’t spend like 8 to 10 thousand ur probably thinking of the huracan but this is a aventador if u buy a huracan u pay like $250,000 but a aventador is $650,000
Joe Mattison for an aventador svj yes 600,000 but for a regular aventador 400,000. aslo there is nowhere on earth that charges 10k to rent an aventador for 24 hours. Even in 2012
Both David and Mike said from the latest Roadkill Extra the old footage of the dead coyote was used for the title of the show by the filmmakers. Until a few snowflakes get triggered witness on the program.
It's also more fun to drive like I'm 17 so I drive a 2000 Ford focus hatchback and I I garentee it's more fun to drive than a lamborghini and slow speeds because it's more involved but at "high" speeds past 75-80mph it's scary because of how much wobble it has I should know I've had it going 102 before.
I'd take the lambo. But only so I could sell it, get a house and build a nice rat. Lamborghini are nice, they are beautiful, they are fast, and they are worthless, you're not allowed to use that speed and the fuel consumption, taxes, and insurance defeat having it for attention. A rat gets more attention, and with good reason; they are each and every one a one of a kind work of art. It's like comparing a nice dinner at a 5 star steakhouse to a family meal. when you get down to it, people only visit 5 star restaurants for an eternal societal pissing contest. That home meal actually has meaning, it's one of a kind, and it represents the person who made it.
you are forgetting one small detail. Lamborgini is currently owed by volkswagen, a german manufacturer. And in germany there are many highways that have NO speed limit. Furthermore there are highways where you can drive 130 k/m. On these highways there is virtually no speedcontrol at all. Which means people are also driving as fast as they want. So for the german customers a lambo is not just for the looks. They can legally drive it on public highways at max speed. Btw i drove a lot on german highways, and its quite cool when you can legally drive as fast as you car goes.
20,000+ posers have seen this video so far. Wow. I'd just take a Tesla and keep a few hundred grand for whatever else I want. I'd pick the Rat Rod over the Lambo personally, but I wouldn't drive it without dropping a few bucks on a decent cooling system and a few other creature comforts.
You know what bothered me most in the whole video? The fact that they left a lot of fries on the table without eating at 11:00. That's not cool! Now I want fries!
It's not roadkill if you can't hear anything due to open header, aren't dizzy from carbon monoxide fumes, feel like you're going to die Everytime you hit a crack/pebble in the road and won't do a massive tire shredding road melting cloud forming stop traffic burnout
I also saw something similar to this. Aventador vs. Rat Rod competing in a straight line race. Needless to say, the Aventador finished in under a minute and the Rat Rod fell apart.

in theory... you're half right. First off: concerning the speed control: do you mean the No Speedlimit ones or the 130km/h ones ? because on the 130km/h ones there is Speed Control. Only you barely see it if you are not going too fast. The other thing: Drive as fast as you want ??? yeah maybe in theory. In reality you barely get past 200km/h due to other people being in you way.
Ram Skirata I understand what you mean. But, if you want to drive fast, you can chose to drive late in the evening/during the night. I have driven in germany during nights and its max speed without much obstruction. As for speed controls, I dont know. I havent encountered any kind of speed control on 130 km/h highways, and germans just drive 170/180 on these without caring much. So I assumed there are basically no speed controls on these highways.
ok in the evening and at night you are right. But its still very dangerous once you get past 200. Simply because: it doesnt always have to be you fault. COncerning the speed copntrol: There is. ist basically invisible with speed traps well hidden.
Not gonna say anything, but the only reason why everyone is paying more attention to the hot-rod than to the Lambo, is because there are very few awesome looking hot rods and Lamborghinis are almost everywhere.
Ulen CH growing up in the century city area, yea you get kinda used to the Lamborghini, it’s still cool, just they are all over the place. I’ve only seen like 3 hot rods driving around my house before so I’d pay attention to it
Once an old lady parked her Aventador next to my truck and i asked her if i can take a few pics and maybe sit in it. She said yes, so i did and that was my first and only encounter with an Aventador. It was weird because, after she turned the car off, there was a noise coming out of the side vents behind the doors like some kind of cooling fans were on. It lasted for at least 10 min...Not sure what it was. Cool looking car though :)
Haha! That was my reaction when i saw her. But yeah, i'd say she was close to 60.Pretty pimped out if you know what i mean ;) I'd send you some pics of her and the car but i don't want to spread them all over the internet. i don't know who she is but i know she was pretty nice to me...
To each their own I guess, but to call the Aventador a piece of Tupperware is shameful... I mean that is one of the coolest and meanest looking cars Lamborghini has ever come out with!
The Lamborghini is sooooo overrated. Lamborghinis are like the Azteks of sports cars. And 400k for something a 2014 ZR1 corvette could do for like 1/4 the price and you get more horse power 760 something I believe to the Lamborghinis 640 something. Buy the ZR1, a Rat Rod, Buy another ZR1, why not buy a couple Barret 50 cal
Granted the Aventador IS a work of art that only 1% of the population can own and just experience the drive. The rat rod is its own personal expression of art anyone from a 16 yr old kid to a 80 year old man with average automotive skills can attempt to build and experience..and I bet a whole lot more fun to.
Everyone seems to forget that these guys are hot rodders and drag racers. In the grand scheme of things, 700bhp really doesn't cut it. That's the sort of power they were getting out of their 'Draguar' and that's just a cruiser.
Nick Milley but why does it bother you if I want an old Jag with a small-block crate motor and a supercharger sticking out the front over an Aventador? And I love Lambos, just that a one-off rod like the Jag will always be unique. Jeez, why is there so much hate between the different aspects of car culture?
right. in almost every contry in the world Top speed means nothing. Including Germany, because of traffic u cant utilize the capabilitys of a supercar even if you are in theory allowed to. What matters though is practicallity while having good looks. And of course fast acceleration. Which Muscle cars all have.
there are two types of people in the comment section of this video:"FUCK THE RATROD" "FUCK THE LAMBO" and then theres me :"that girl was really really cute"
See this shit evry one is now infected from the ebolish rat rod never make a vid again so if u get a rat u gon be like I'm gonna win the lottery of 765477554 nice asses for the price of don don don: absolouty nothing
I really like the opinions expressed here. Cool video, and the comments about the Lambo totally make sense to me. I am an average American with a good job but not rich and I don't have $400k collecting dust in my account to just go and buy a Lambo but then not really have it be a dream car for me. I am a guy who owns a sports car that I was lucky enough to have had it be available at the time and also be able to afford it.
Your rat rod is luxurious. My '32 Plymouth coup rat rod didn't have a seat, and the floor pan was a 1 ft. wide piece of plywood that spanned the frame and wasn't even bolted down. It slid back on acceleration, and was stopped by the roll bar. The bad front U-joint and the open driveshaft were a bit of a concern though. Thanks for the memories. You guys are having way too much fun!
Wow This was the first episode of Roadkill that I ever watched And I watched it almost a year after it came out I can't believe how long it's been God I love this show and god I love hot rods!!
He explained the specs of the Aventador and calls it a Tupperware box in the end.... Does he got vision issieus? :o Or did he realy thought the Ratrod was the Lamborghini?
my dad had a rat rod back in the 80's. not because he wanted it be that way, but because of budget and just wanted to have fun in it. 1940 dodge business coupe with a 440. tunnel ram, 906 heads, 525 lift came, heads ported and polished. 410 gears. pretty sure that car would give that lambo a run for it's money for speed.
+poncoolride i which car? cuz if you're talking about the lambo, most supercar accidents are very minor, as most just occur from spinning out on takeoff or around a corner, all happen at low speeds. you are more likely to die from texting while driving than flooring it to get from 0 to 100 or something, because you usually just slide about on the open road.
This guy thinks the Aventador "doesn't launch that hard"? 0-100kmh in 2.9sec not hard enough? Hmm OK, I guess the guy is a jet pilot in his spare time. And "the scissors doors are just annoying"? OK, OK.
dude, dont talk shit until you actually know this guys background. He builds cars for a living. He owns a 1100hp camaro that he does land speed records at the salt flats. The fastest he has gone in it is 261mph, which is pretty impressive.
also, he is a muscle car type guy. He doesn't care about technology, he cares about a car that has a personality and one that he has built or can relate to.
i can buy a supra, get 1000+ HP for little over 200G. you pay less money to go fast, why buy a lambo? plus it isnt even fast enough, for its price range, a lot of cars have seat adjustemnt and a lot of other luxuries for less than an aventador.
Idk why they even made this video. They're obviously rat rod fans and all they did was down the Lamborghini. I'd take the Lambo over that deathtrap any day
They did complain about both cars. Or did you miss the parts where they mentioned it sucks in traffic, an accident would be lethal, it's entirely uncomfortable to use...
+awesomeferret to have, i'd take the lambo. you'd really want to drive that deathtrap on a regular basis and a car with the most basic safety features?
Duns for Hands no, but considering that most Lambo owners don't consider it their primary car and don't drive it every day, is it really that much of an issue? Anyway, if I had that specific rat rod, it wouldn't be that specific rat rod. I would make some modifications to make it a wee bit safer (moving the seat, raising the top and installing a bigger windshield, for example).

Depends on the ratrod. Itd probably tear the thing apart. Some ratrods can handle a frikin lot of power but probably not a v12
Idk some rat rods have mad engines and would have more power

Not gonna say anything, but the only reason why everyone is paying more attention to the hot-rod than to the Lambo, is because there are very few awesome looking hot rods and Lamborghinis are almost everywhere.
And it's Cali so pretty much everyone has already seen a Lamborghini in their life cause like everyone has one
Ulen CH growing up in the century city area, yea you get kinda used to the Lamborghini, it’s still cool, just they are all over the place. I’ve only seen like 3 hot rods driving around my house before so I’d pay attention to it
you guys rocks , love what you do ,keep up the good work guys.
I think out of those two I would take the Lamborghini, so I could sell it and then be able to build my own hot rod

Once an old lady parked her Aventador next to my truck and i asked her if i can take a few pics and maybe sit in it. She said yes, so i did and that was my first and only encounter with an Aventador. It was weird because, after she turned the car off, there was a noise coming out of the side vents behind the doors like some kind of cooling fans were on. It lasted for at least 10 min...Not sure what it was. Cool looking car though :)
An old lady with an Aventador!? No way!
Haha! That was my reaction when i saw her. But yeah, i'd say she was close to 60.Pretty pimped out if you know what i mean ;) I'd send you some pics of her and the car but i don't want to spread them all over the internet. i don't know who she is but i know she was pretty nice to me...
*****
Who else you think has money for new Lambo? ;-) Old people, oh and kids with rich parents.
MetallicRain i wanna see those pics too! :D
This Was The First Motor Trend Video I've Ever Watched And I LOVED It
Lamborghinis are awsome hot rods are awsome muscle cars are awsome all cars are awsome
To each their own I guess, but to call the Aventador a piece of Tupperware is shameful... I mean that is one of the coolest and meanest looking cars Lamborghini has ever come out with!
It would be fun to drive but it is so shapeless and it has no personality!
oddstuff123 shapeless? Fuck off
The Lamborghini is sooooo overrated. Lamborghinis are like the Azteks of sports cars. And 400k for something a 2014 ZR1 corvette could do for like 1/4 the price and you get more horse power 760 something I believe to the Lamborghinis 640 something. Buy the ZR1, a Rat Rod, Buy another ZR1, why not buy a couple Barret 50 cal
and how About an mg-42 while you're at it. It's a no brainer. Don't buy a Lamborghini.
moodATM If you have the money to buy them all, then why not :P
know what i like more than lamborhnini's? KNOWLEDGE
Ha!
+Bilbo Baggins lmao my son cracks up on that line everytime
Edward Ramirez
hi dad
+Edward Ramirez Really?
+Argenis Granados yea he has turned it into a actual catch phrase.
i remember watching this as a kid and now getting somethings they were saying and now watching this after a state test i love it
Granted the Aventador IS a work of art that only 1% of the population can own and just experience the drive. The rat rod is its own personal expression of art anyone from a 16 yr old kid to a 80 year old man with average automotive skills can attempt to build and experience..and I bet a whole lot more fun to.
Everyone seems to forget that these guys are hot rodders and drag racers. In the grand scheme of things, 700bhp really doesn't cut it. That's the sort of power they were getting out of their 'Draguar' and that's just a cruiser.
ummmmmm the draguar maybe made 250hp
Have you seen the episode of Hot Rod Unlimited where they swap in a new engine and bench test it? Puts out way more than 250bhp now.
DoesNotHaveAnXbox I love your Icon. Motorstorm
TheMalysch77 brake horse power
Nick Milley but why does it bother you if I want an old Jag with a small-block crate motor and a supercharger sticking out the front over an Aventador? And I love Lambos, just that a one-off rod like the Jag will always be unique.
Jeez, why is there so much hate between the different aspects of car culture?
Great video🤘The Lamborghini is a nice car, if I had to pick one the Rat Rod all the way!!!
I used to watch this a few years... Now I am watching this now
17:38 that moment when you don't know how to use a aventador ._.
People are arguing about cars, but they mean nothing. When you have a speed limit, the top speed means nothing.
right. in almost every contry in the world Top speed means nothing. Including Germany, because of traffic u cant utilize the capabilitys of a supercar even if you are in theory allowed to. What matters though is practicallity while having good looks. And of course fast acceleration. Which Muscle cars all have.
You do realize you can go much faster than the speed limit in America and in Texas people go over 200 quite often
I can vouch for that haha ^
Austin Kesler Fellow Texa, and I have to admit this is truth.
Ever heard of a country road? No? Poor city boys lmao
there are two types of people in the comment section of this video:"FUCK THE RATROD" "FUCK THE LAMBO" and then theres me :"that girl was really really cute"
smh she was ugly
I think she was really cute :| don't judge
yeah
No, i'm romanian,you?
wow,ok
This was the first video I ever watched on RUclips! I am "celebrating" 4 years of being on RUclips
A lot of Lamborghini fanboys here on this video lol...
I personally find the rat rod has more...character :)
It is a lovely car indeed
Murksy Murksyson agreed
ahh yes it is better too look good then too feel good and that looks good
Chuck Lee agreed
Yeah
17:34 race
is anyone else here not for the lamborghini
See this shit evry one is now infected from the ebolish rat rod never make a vid again so if u get a rat u gon be like I'm gonna win the lottery of 765477554 nice asses for the price of don don don: absolouty nothing
+Benjamin Desjardins Me. Fuck the Lamborghini.
Me too :D
nga keroan
Fuck you, your life, your family, your existence, your comment, your neighbor and everything that has to do with you in general.
RIP roadkill. This is the episode that started it all for me.
I really like the opinions expressed here. Cool video, and the comments about the Lambo totally make sense to me. I am an average American with a good job but not rich and I don't have $400k collecting dust in my account to just go and buy a Lambo but then not really have it be a dream car for me. I am a guy who owns a sports car that I was lucky enough to have had it be available at the time and also be able to afford it.
what is the sports car
steven De Santos they said the lambo wasn't theirs they rented that...and what kind of sports car
I got a 2016 SS and I ordered it. I didn't buy one off the lot that everyone already messed with.
steven De Santos wow
steven De Santos . MN LP
Make Roadkill Free again
GTA V: Vacca Vs HotKnife
Your rat rod is luxurious. My '32 Plymouth coup rat rod didn't have a seat, and the floor pan was a 1 ft. wide piece of plywood that spanned the frame and wasn't even bolted down. It slid back on acceleration, and was stopped by the roll bar. The bad front U-joint and the open driveshaft were a bit of a concern though. Thanks for the memories. You guys are having way too much fun!
Ohhh back in the old days. Before the "we will never stop putting new content on RUclips". :(
Hum, so $4 a minute for an aventador, $240 for 60 minutes, well worth :D just to drive and see how it is
Yeah but here renting it for a full day.
vince gredo hum
its true i mean $240 for an adventador amazing sign me up xD
Not worth it might as well through 240 in the trash
i remember when i first watched this and didnt like it. lol. now its a classic
Same i was overjoyed on the lambo like a fanboi. The car is a technical marvel and I wish I can ride in.
Wow This was the first episode of Roadkill that I ever watched And I watched it almost a year after it came out I can't believe how long it's been God I love this show and god I love hot rods!!
How is the rat rod even legal without indicators, speedometer etc?
RobotGoose its not.
Hayden Sisk I'm not sure about this specific car/state, but in Texas if a car is old enough it doesn't have to have all of those things
RobotGoose because roadkill
It has something called a historic license plate, this gives it exertions towards certain road rules
Daily Cup of Justin Moreover, this rule is existing in most countries all over the World
He explained the specs of the Aventador and calls it a Tupperware box in the end....
Does he got vision issieus? :o Or did he realy thought the Ratrod was the Lamborghini?
its sterile, has no character
To be quite honest I hate lambos I'm an American muscle kinda guy
I couldn't agree more I would take a vette zr1 of any lambo I don't wana be that douche with a small ego driving the lambo
I like European way more then American in recent years.
American muscle is loud and gay euro cars are stylish and 2x fast. Fuck American muscle
***** VW and Audi don't fall apart if you try to race them. Have you ever gotten a mustang over 7g, it sounds like its gunna explode
sucks to suck
Rewatching the first ep of roadkill I ever saw this ep had me hooked
rat rod sound awesome, but lamborghini anytime... 8:35 are you sure that the steering rod is not the one that kills in accident?
No, the rat rod is more fun.
my dad had a rat rod back in the 80's. not because he wanted it be that way, but because of budget and just wanted to have fun in it. 1940 dodge business coupe with a 440. tunnel ram, 906 heads, 525 lift came, heads ported and polished. 410 gears. pretty sure that car would give that lambo a run for it's money for speed.
nmij
there are a million ways you would die in that car if you were involved in an accedent. :-/
+poncoolride i which car?
cuz if you're talking about the lambo, most supercar accidents are very minor, as most just occur from spinning out on takeoff or around a corner, all happen at low speeds. you are more likely to die from texting while driving than flooring it to get from 0 to 100 or something, because you usually just slide about on the open road.
This guy thinks the Aventador "doesn't launch that hard"? 0-100kmh in 2.9sec not hard enough? Hmm OK, I guess the guy is a jet pilot in his spare time. And "the scissors doors are just annoying"? OK, OK.
Whateva
***** LOOOL yeahhhhhhh, like you're really going to use top fuel dragsters as an everyday car aren't you?
talk to me when people can drive dragsters on the street and tell me when you can afford a lamborghini
dude, dont talk shit until you actually know this guys background. He builds cars for a living. He owns a 1100hp camaro that he does land speed records at the salt flats. The fastest he has gone in it is 261mph, which is pretty impressive.
also, he is a muscle car type guy. He doesn't care about technology, he cares about a car that has a personality and one that he has built or can relate to.
"hot rods are perfectly practical for daily use" my favorite quote ever
First episode I saw, and still my favorite to this day!
No, when you pay 400G for a car, you pay it to go fast, not for extra weight like electric seat adjustment
i can buy a supra, get 1000+ HP for little over 200G. you pay less money to go fast, why buy a lambo? plus it isnt even fast enough, for its price range, a lot of cars have seat adjustemnt and a lot of other luxuries for less than an aventador.
Don't know about the rest of you but I know where my money would go. Bring on the raging bull!
Proof American's can't drive Supercars XD
Man 12 years ago I remember watching this wen it came out
who randomly just came bck to watch this in 2019 💀
On my recommend for some reason 😉
I'm here in 2020! I just started my channel where I take trucks into the mountains and break em in. Just want folks to laugh!
how is that hot-rod even legal to drive?
it isnt
i wanna drive that rat-rod, looks great, sounds great and id probably drive it everyday
I remeber watching this originally and dying of laughter when he was trying to push it off the sidewalk😂
These Guys Has 4.5 million Subs and they are not even Verified WTF!!!
Dwayz it’s not just ”them” behind the camera, there are multiple series like dirt everyday and hot Rod garage. But i Agree its weird.
Idk why they even made this video. They're obviously rat rod fans and all they did was down the Lamborghini. I'd take the Lambo over that deathtrap any day
They did complain about both cars. Or did you miss the parts where they mentioned it sucks in traffic, an accident would be lethal, it's entirely uncomfortable to use...
Allurade Yea, and they still said they're rather the coffin on wheels. Did you miss that part?
No. And it makes sense because hot rodders prefer things they built themselves. And besides, did you miss all the women that checked out the Rat Rod?
You guys just dont even get it. You compare specs and horsepower's and how expensive it is. You have no idea how much character this rat rod holds.
Well, I'd rather something that I built myself than something that says "I'm rich and have a tiny penis"
Wow, I must be weird! I'm as male as it gets, and I'd take the rat rod over the Lambo any day.
+awesomeferret to have, i'd take the lambo. you'd really want to drive that deathtrap on a regular basis and a car with the most basic safety features?
+awesomeferret not to mention overheating in traffic
Duns for Hands no, but considering that most Lambo owners don't consider it their primary car and don't drive it every day, is it really that much of an issue? Anyway, if I had that specific rat rod, it wouldn't be that specific rat rod. I would make some modifications to make it a wee bit safer (moving the seat, raising the top and installing a bigger windshield, for example).
+Duns for Hands Just a matter of time before the pistons shoots up in the sky and the engine block will be scattered all over the road, haha.
+Duns for Hands that was the worst example of a hot rod my friend
I used to watch this as a kid and randomly finding it in my recommendations gives me nostalgia vibes
