In a thrilling saga of speed and redemption, Cleetus McFarland takes on the challenge of transforming Whistl and Diesel's General Lee into an 8-second beast. This 1500 horsepower street car, originally crafted by 36 Speed, faces a tumultuous journey from police encounters to drag strip glory. Despite the car hitting 920 in the quarter mile while pegged on the limiter, the burning desire for eights propels the team forward.
Amidst the backdrop of abandoned car woes and broken rear ends, the General Lee's fate hangs in the balance. The discovery of a loose drive shaft and ripped torque boxes sets the stage for a series of repairs and upgrades. With meticulous attention to detail, the team revamps the car with a new transmission, converter, and anti-roll bar, all aimed at unleashing its full potential on the track.
As the General Lee roars back to life, the drag strip becomes the ultimate proving ground. With fresh parts and a newfound stability, the car rockets down the track, leaving a trail of awe and adrenaline in its wake. Boost cuts and wheelies are conquered, paving the way for a jaw-dropping 8-second pass at an eye-watering 157 mph. The General Lee's transformation stands as a testament to the relentless pursuit of speed and the unwavering determination of the team behind the scenes.
