Faster with Newbern and Cotten - Episode Guide

David Newbern and Mike Cotten always have one goal in mind: to go faster. In this episode of 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. With the addition of a 630-hp LS7 under the hood, they take on Randy Pobst at Atlanta Motor Speedway and bring new life to an old legend.

The motorcycle-engine-powered Honda Z600 coupe named Bozo is back! The guys convert their VTR100 SuperHawk-powered '72 Honda coupe into a micro sprint-inspired dirt-track ripper. Pro driver Taylor Reimer sets the bar in her 400-hp 1,000-plus-pound Toyota for the guys to compete with, but how close can Bozo get to her time?

There's nothing better than buying a cheap car and heading straight to the racetrack. 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.

Why didn't every VW Beetle come with a V-8? 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 and truly makes it a car for the gear-headed people.

When life gives you a Lambo ... lift it and throw it on 58-inch tires! 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.

If transforming a car in two days sounds tough, try doing it in a parking lot. The guys take Dave's blown, big-block '57 Bel Air to compete in the autocross at Cruisin' the Coast in Mississippi. With a complete overhaul of the suspension in the event's parking lot, the guys find out how much lap time they can shave with a weekend's worth of work.

Off-road legend Cameron Steele warned the guys that a V-8 swap wouldn't cut as much time as a long-travel suspension could, and they didn't listen. Now Newbern and Cotten are finally heeding his advice and going all out with major suspension upgrades to their Baja-inspired VW Beetle. But when they return to the desert, a huge surprise is revealed that changes everything.

Can a stock Model A become a true hot rod and dragstrip contender? The guys take on top fuel driver Clay Millican by totally transforming a Model A from the ground up. With a new chassis, suspension and fresh 347ci V-8 with 400 hp, this Ford vastly improves in every way possible!
