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!
HOT ROD Power Tour is HOT ROD Magazine in action, a week-long roadtrip where readers, racers, and manufacturers hit the back roads of America to show everyone what being a car-nut is all about.

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!

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.
