Season two is sure to further push the gas pedal on ingenuity.”
Hobbyist mechanics and car lovers across American are in search of more speed from their project car. But, can you make significant upgrades with limited funds and limited time? If so, could the upgrades made on your car outperform a newer or pricier model? In each episode of FASTER WITH FINNEGAN, Finnegan and his friends David Newbern and Mike Cotten seek answers while sharing with viewers the knowledge, the technology, the real-life problems and the hard work that come with adding speed within a limited timeframe and without breaking the bank. Every week the series will feature a different vehicle, a different build, a different form of racing and a new challenge.
