1,225 Horsepower Engine: 711 ci Sonny Leonard Chevy Hemi! – Hot Rod Garage Ep. 12

Posted by

On this episode of Hot Rod Garage, presented by Lincoln Tech, Mike Finnegan journeys to Sonny Leonard Racing Engines in Lynchburg, Virginia to help assemble his new engine, a 771ci Big-Block Chevy topped with Hemi heads, which is primed to produce ridiculous pump-gas horsepower and torque. This all-aluminum, rule-injected beast is built with parts from Brodix, CP-Carillo, ARP, Sonny Bryant, Trend, Holley, and Accufab and weighs just 595 pounds. Once assembled, Sonny dyno-test the engine to verify the power output on 92 octane gasoline before shipping it home to Mike so he can fab a turbo kit for even more power. We’ve also got a brand new Lincoln Tech Quick Tip and the last Q&A session of Season 1 with Finnegan and Freiburger.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. 2015 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1! – Head 2 Head Ep. 61

Posted by

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Jonny Lieberman travels just over the Golden Gate Bridge to beautiful Marin County (http://www.visitmarin.org/motortrend) in two of the most powerful cars ever to roll out of American factories. Five years ago, the idea of a Chevy Camaro ZL1 with 580 horsepower would have seemed like nothing more than the bedroom poster fantasy of a 12-year-old. However, in 2015, 580 ponies seems like something’s wrong. That’s because the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat comes strapped with 707! Crazy, we know. However, the Hellcat is heavier than the already pretty large Camaro. Bigger, too. The question then is: which of these two steroidal pony cars should you get? Watch this episode of Head2Head and find out.

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS: Mid Engine Perfection & The Biggest Threat to the 911! – Ignition Ep. 124

Posted by

On this episode of Ignition presented by Tire Rack, Jonny Lieberman tests the second generation Cayman in its most potent form yet. Packing 340 horsepower from an uprated 3.4 liter flat six, the Cayman GTS makes 15 horsepower more than the Cayman S and only 10 fewer than a base 911, while weighing hundreds of pounds less. With the additional power, is the Cayman GTS now a real threat to the 911, or is it simply a cynical marketing exercise from Porsche? Stay tuned and find out!

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