David Newbern and Mike Cotten use their "get it done" know-how to crank up the power on real-world builds, then use them to take on other vehicles wherever a challenge has been laid down.
2024
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 in a weekend.
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. Now Newbern and Cotten finally heed his advice, going all-out with major suspension upgrades to their Baja-inspired VW Beetle.
Can a stock Model A become a true hot rod and dragstrip contender? The guys take on top fuel's Clay Millican by transforming a Model A from the ground up. With a new chassis, suspension and fresh 400-hp 347ci V-8, this Ford improves in every way!
ewbern and Cotten discover a gem that's not your typical American muscle with a turbocharged Eagle Talon. It looks like an import, but don't be fooled. This thing rips! Shea Seefeldt challenges the guys on a rally course with his LS-swapped Subaru.
There's nothing better than a friend surprising you with one of your favorite cars. Newbern surprises Cotten with a mint 1984 G-body and an '80s-style, stock-car-inspired build to take on an actual former cup car around the circle track.
It's a revival for Cotten's Pro Street big-block 1980 Dodge Mirada, whose engine died on Roadkill. However, things don't go as planned as the guys attempt to add a giant blower and bigger tires, and bring the car back to the 1990s-era glory it once had.
2023
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.
