Dennis makes a pass in a Lingenfelter Corvette and the night ends up on bluesy Beale Street where we do a bit of matchmaking. Enjoy the romance, we’ll be back on the road with more on the way to Birmingham,Alabama.

2013 SRT Viper vs 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series! – Head 2 Head Ep. 36

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Motor Trend’s Jonny Lieberman pits two members of the “more than 600 horsepower club” against each other – the 2013 SRT Viper & the 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series. It’s a three-bout heavyweight match that begins with real world canyon carving, moves on to an all-out quarter mile drag race, and then finishes with blistering hot laps around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca with hot shoe Randy Pobst.

Despite a huge gap in price, both of these long-nosed, front-engine, RWD, two-seat brawlers represent significant revisions of their wild predecessors. Will good old fashion American muscle beat out German Engineering? Join us as we find out.

Day 3 of HOT ROD Power Tour! Texarkana, AR to Little Rock, AR

On the route from Texarkana to Little Rock, host Dennis Pittsenbarger does Power Tour in a power slide behind the wheel of a Factory Five ’33. We stop along the way to find out what the locals think about Power Tour passing through their towns, and of course, to encourage a Dukes of Hazzard-themed burnout. At the venue we cheer on the teams at the Comp Cams engine build and talk to the owner of a very unusual ”79 Buick. Don’t be gone for long, next up is drag racing with Elvis!

Days 1 & 2 of HOT ROD Power Tour! Arlington, TX to Texarkana, AR

Join host Dennis Pittsenbarger as he strolls through thousands of hot rods at the University of Texas in Arlington on the kick-off of Power Tour 2013 presented by Chevrolet Performance. We covet the giant hot wheels in the Chevrolet Performance booth, bench race the numbers on the Lucas Oil dyno and roll past Camaros, surf wagons and one-off trucks and rat rods, including a turbo-charged ’29 Model A! After a drive-in movie the gang hits the road in a Dodge Challenger, leaving tons of tire smoke behind as they head for Texarkana. In Arkansas there are more cars, more engines and more burnouts, and there’s still a week more to come!

2014 Porsche Cayman S! Is the Lightest Porsche Now the Best Porsche? – Ignition Ep. 73

On this episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago gets behind the wheel of the newest iteration of Porsche’s Cayman line, the 2014 Porsche Cayman S. After some twisty road driving, Carlos meets up with pro driver Randy Pobst at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to discuss the capabilities of the new Cayman on the track. It’s track ready, balanced, and can go from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds… but is it worth it’s fully loaded six figure price tag?

First previewed on its Boxster platform-mate, and shown at last year’s Los Angeles Auto Show, the new Cayman looks more aggressive than its predecessor. From the 918 Spyder-aping looks to the scalloped air intakes on the doors to the silicone-injected hips, the car looks buffer. It’s larger, too. The wheelbase has been stretched by 2.4 inches, while the overhangs on either end have been shortened by 10mm. Overall length is only up 0.1 inch. The track has been widened 40/12mm front/rear.

Ignition appears every Monday on the Motor Trend youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/motortrend
