David Newbern and Mike Cotten always have one goal in mind: to go faster. This time on FASTER with Newbern and Cotten, the guys try their hand at no-prep drag racing against Lyle Barnett and his turbocharged 1,500-hp "Beer Money" Mustang. After a naturally aspirated attempt in Newbern's stock LS-powered '91 Mustang, the guys supercharge it and double their horsepower against Lyle.
For years, Pigpen, the junkyard rescued 1950 GMC truck from Roadkill, has sat dormant. Now the guys awaken a monster by donating the chassis of their own legendary 1985 S-15 in a body swap for the ages, then take on Randy Pobst at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
The guys convert their motorcycle-engine-powered '72 Honda Z600 coupe named Bozo into a micro sprint-inspired dirt-track ripper. Pro driver Taylor Reimer sets the bar in her 400-hp 1,000-plus-pound Toyota, but how close can Bozo get to her time?
The guys uncover a cop car racing series around the Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor. With a handful of bolt-on upgrades, they turn their former police auction find into a road race ripper around Willow Springs. This much fun should be illegal.
The guys take on off-road Baja legend Cameron Steele on a brutal desert off-road course with a Baja Bug. They may be outmatched by Cameron's unlimited racing rig, but the addition of a 350 V-8 to their Bug closes a big gap.
The guys take their V-8-powered Pontiac Fiero–based Lamborghini Countach kit car known as the Scamborghini and give it a 6-foot lift. Why would you do that? To take on an insane wheelie-popping mud truck through what's known as a bounty hole, of course.
