CLOSED CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY * Announcer: MOTORWEEK , TELEVISION'S BROUGHT TO YOU BY... Announcer: YOU'RE SHOPPING FOR AND YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.

Man 1: I DO.

Announcer: WE'RE TIRERACK.COM, AND WE HAVE ANSWERS, Man 2: IT'S A...TAKE A LOOK.

Man 1: OH.

Announcer: ROCKAUTO HAS AUTO PARTS FROM OFFERING A VARIETY OF BRANDS, ROCKAUTO.COM, ALL THE PARTS YOUR CAR John: IF YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU KNOW THAT EXPERTS SAY TO STAY HEALTHY THESE DAYS SO, CONSIDER THIS ROAD TEST YOUR RECOMMENDED DAILY DOSE * TOP DOWN SUMMERTIME CRUISIN' IN THIS 2020 PORSCHE 911 IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT GETS AND THE 992-GENERATION OF 911 AS WHILE IT HAS MATURED INTO IT STILL BOASTS MORE THE FOLDING TOP IS MADE OUT AND THANKS TO A NEW IT IS ABLE TO PERFECTLY MIRROR WITHOUT ANY OF ITS VISIBLE THROUGH THE FABRIC.

IT'S ALSO LIGHTER, FLUSH-MOUNTED GLASS REAR WINDOW, THE QUICKER ONE TOUCH OPERATION AND NEAR SILENT, KEEPS THE INTERIOR QUIET ENOUGH WITH YOUR TRAVEL MATE.

STANDARD CARRERA S WHEELS, 20s IN FRONT WITH 245/35 TIRES, STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENTS AS PART OF THE ASSEMBLY THE ROLLOVER SAFETY BARS; THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF SUPPORT AS THEY ARE QUITE HEAVY.

PORSCHE SEEMS TO HAVE AS EVEN THE AUTOMATICALLY RISES TO DIFFERENT HEIGHTS THE TOP IS UP OR DOWN.

ALL CARRERA'S FEATURE OVER THE REAR AXLES, BASE MODELS BUT, IN S VERSIONS THAT ENGINE AND EXTERNALLY, AND CRANK OUT 443 HORSEPOWER OF TORQUE.

AND THE FOUR IN OUR CARRERA 4S, ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE.

FINALLY, AS IN THE COUPE, IS NOW WORKING WITH EIGHT GEARS, IS STILL AVAILABLE BOTH THE 911 COUPE AND CABRIOLET BUT THE INTERIOR SEEMS AS THINGS ARE PRETTY CONSISTENT THESE DAYS.

AND THAT'S A GOOD THING THE HORIZONTAL DESIGN, FLUSH-MOUNTED TOUCH SCREEN, OF DIGITAL AND ANALOG, HAVING LOTS OF TRUE SWITCHGEAR, AND WE'VE EVEN GOTTEN THAT WE DIDN'T LOVE INITIALLY; THE FRONT TRUNK THAN ITS 4.7 CUBIC-FEET AND FOR ADDITIONAL STORAGE, MORE PRACTICAL FOR PACKAGES WHETHER, OR SAWING YOUR WAY THROUGH YOU FEEL THE Gs BUILD QUICKLY, THAT USUALLY ACCOMPANIES THEM, UNFLUSTERED BY SUCH THINGS, STAYING FLAT AS THE PROVERBIAL THAT'S MOSTLY DUE TO PORSCHE'S BEING AVAILABLE ON THE CABRIOLET NOW, STEERING IS NOT QUITE AS BUT STILL VERY DIRECT; TEST CAR'S OPTIONAL REAR-AXLE THE OVERALL SENSE OF BALANCE WAS QUITE IMPRESSIVE, IN OUR SHORT HANDLING COURSE TO A CHALLENGE FOR THIS CAR.

SO, WHILE IT TRULY EMBRACES THIS 4S DOESN'T NEED TO BE TOOLING ALONG AT PARADE SPEEDS IT REMAINS A WEIGHTY FEELING SLIDING MORE-AND-MORE TOWARDS THAN THE NIMBLER CAYMAN.

PORSCHE'S LAUNCH CONTROL THEY ASSUME YOU'LL WANT TO USE YOU WANT TO MAKE A QUICK AND WHY NOT, IT ENABLES BANGING THROUGH THE GEARS AT TIME AFTER TIME.

AND DON'T THINK THE ELECTRONICS OUT OF IT EITHER, GRINS ARRIVE QUICKER THAN TO GET TO 60 MILES PER HOUR.

THAT'S WITH THE OPTIONAL WHICH QUICKENS BOTH THROTTLE GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS AND 20-COMBINED.

WE AVERAGED A FINE 21.2 MPG THAT STILL RATES A SLIGHTLY ENERGY IMPACT SCORE OF WITH 7.4 TONS OF CO2 EMISSIONS.

PRICING STARTS AT $134,750, "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR" FRUGAL MINDED CAN STILL OPT FOR FOR $111,550.

CONVERTIBLES ARE NOT SOME MAY FIND THEM OSTENTATIOUS, THE WIND IN THEIR HAIR, BUT, IT IS HARD TO SEE WHY WITH THE 2020 PORSCHE 911 IT'S BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT, AND * John: WITH THE HELP OF MOVIES STREET RACING HAS BEEN NOW, YOU COULD ARGUE THAT ITS IS WHAT MAKES IT SO COMPELLING.

BUT, OUR OVER THE EDGE REPORTER, WHERE THAT NOTION GOES UP Greg Carloss: BUT IT'S ILLEGAL AND DANGEROUS.

OBVIOUSLY, WELL, THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE IN SPOTSYLVANIA, VIRGINIA THE PERFECT SOLUTION!

[REVVING ENGINES IN THIS COUNTRY AT LEAST, AS A UNIQUE GENRE OF UNHINDERED BY AND PRECISION TIMING DEVICES.

IT'S PURE, HEADS UP DRAG RACING.

IN 2018 STEVE BRITT, OF DOMINION RACEWAY NOTICED THE GROWING Steve Britt: STREET RACING AND WE WERE LIKE, AND SO, WE STARTED FRIDAY NIGHT AND THIS IS WHAT YOU GET.

Zac Ash: ATMOSPHERE IS LIVELY.

THERE'S A LOT OF FRIENDS EVERYONE GETS TOGETHER, Greg: COMES A WIDE ARRAY OF VEHICLES.

Daniel Ultsch: I'VE SEEN DIESEL AND BEND THEIR FRONT AXLES.

I MEAN, I'VE SEEN MUSTANGS WELL...YEAH...I'D SAY, "THE CRAZIEST ONE WAS PROBABLY Greg: DRIVERS CAN RUN ON THEIR JUST PICK AN OPPONENT ROLLING STARTS CAN BE BUT A TRADITIONAL STANDING START NATURALLY, BURNOUTS ARE WELCOME.

[ENGINE REVS] ONCE, THE CARS STAGE, AND THE ONE-EIGHTH MILE Teejay Snipes: HERE, SO, THE SAME WAY YOUR CAR ACTS THAT'S HOW YOUR CAR'S GONNA' SO, WE HAVE A TRUE NO-PREP Greg: THIS IS TEEJAY SNIPES TOP COMPETITION WITH MORE AT HE'S THE MAN WITH A PLAN.

Teejay: I'M PRESIDENT OF WE'RE A LOCAL CAR CLUB HERE TO HOST THESE EVENTS, TO GET GIVE SOMEBODY SOMETHING TO DO ANY QUESTIONS?

ALRIGHT, I GOT A BAG OVER HERE BASICALLY, WHEN WE GET GUYS THERE'S A BUY-IN...WHETHER, 50 BUCKS, 100 BUCKS.

WE GET EVERYBODY TOGETHER, AND SOMEBODY'S GONNA TAKE IT Greg: UNFORTUNATELY, I DIDN'T THAT IS UNTIL I MET FROM ROCKING NISSAN Stavros Kaplaneris: HOW ABOUT I GIVE YOU YOU CAN TAKE A COUPLE PASSES Greg: ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Stavros: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

THE ONLY RULE I HAVE IS IF YOU Greg: I CAN LIVE WITH THAT.

SO, OFF I WENT IN OWNED BY A COMPLETE STRANGER A MODDED C6 CORVETTE.

WELL, THAT WASN'T AS SMOOTH BUT HEY WE MADE IT THROUGH.

SO, I DIDN'T WIN ANY RESPECT, STREET RACING EXPERIENCE WITHOUT Teejay: DOMINION, THEY'RE A SAFE PLACE TO RACE, A GOOD THING AND WE'RE ALSO KEEPING RACERS OFF THE STREETS.

Greg: SO, NEXT TIME YOU WITH SOMETHING TO PROVE, DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DONE John: THE ENGINE IS EASILY, THE PAT GOSS HAS ADVICE TO KEEP IT * Pat Goss: ONE OF THE MOST COMMON ON AN ENGINE IS AND ALWAYS UP ON THE TOP OF THE ENGINE.

BACK IN THE DAY, MADE UP OF TIN AND THEY WERE THESE TIN VALVE COVERS USED OR SOMETIMES RUBBER.

WELL, THAT EVOLVED INTO WHICH WERE MACHINE FLAT STILL USED A FLAT GASKET, AND WELL, NOWADAYS WHAT THEY'RE THESE O-RING TYPE GASKETS SO THERE'S A NOTCH THAT IS THE O-RING GASKET FITS DOWN INTO A BETTER SEAL.

NOW, ON EITHER ONE OF THESE, THAT YOU TIGHTEN THEM PROPERLY.

BEST WAY IS TO DO IT WITH YOU COULD USE A FOOT POUND BUT THE BIG THING IS TO MAKE TO SPECIFICATION AND THEY'RE THAT IS A BIG FACTOR IN SO, MAKE SURE YOU READ, ALRIGHT NOW, ANOTHER THING IS GASKET SEALERS AND SO ON.

ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE WHERE THE MANUFACTURER SAYS, IN THE WAY THE MANUFACTURER JUST DON'T BLANKETLY PUT ANY AND EVERY GASKET THAT CAUSE IT COULD ACTUALLY NOW, SPEAKING OF ONE OF OUR CLIENTS WAS STOPPED BY A SHOP, A NEW VALVE COVER GASKET ON IT.

NOW, THE GUY TOLD ME THAT USE AN AIR IMPACT WRENCH SUCH AS TO TIGHTEN THE BOLTS AFTER WELL, YOU SHOULD NEVER DO THAT!

AND HERE'S WHY.

IT BROKE A VERY EXPENSIVE AND HE STILL HAD A LEAK.

SO, THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOU SEQUENCE AND AMOUNT OF TORQUE.

ALWAYS USE THE PROPER TYPE NEVER USE GASKET SEALERS EXCEPT AND ALWAYS USE THEM IN SO, THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT SUCCESSFUL.

AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION RIGHT HERE AT MOTORWEEK .

John: NEW FORDS HAVE BEEN AND FURIOUSLY LATELY.

HERE ARE TWO THAT WE JUST * Greg: MOST OF YOU KNOW BY NOW IN THE STABLE, AND IT'S NOT BUT IT'S ALSO AN SUV.

YEAH, NOT KIDDING.

AND IT WILL BE AVAILABLE THERE ARE BOTH STANDARD AND WITH A TARGET OF FOR THE EXTENDED RANGE VERSION.

LOTS OF NEW TECH ON DISPLAY, IN THE FORM OF WITH TABLET-STYLE Brian Robinson: NOW, THERE'S ONE FORD JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THEY'LL TO THE VEHICLE OVER THE AIR BE LINKED TO THEM THROUGH SO, PRIVACY CONCERNS ASIDE, KNOWING THAT YOU'LL GET ALL SOFTWARE UPDATES FROM FORD OUT OF YOUR WAY TO DO IT.

Greg: ELSEWHERE INSIDE, AND PLENTY OF SPACE FOR CARGO; AND UP FRONT WHERE'S ALMOST 5.0 WHERE APPARENTLY YOU WILL BE AND WINGS.

AND IF EXTRA WING STORAGE BEST NEWS OF ALL THE MACH-E WILL AND THAT'S BEFORE ANY CAN'T GET PAST THE MUSTANG'S WELL, FORD'S GIVING US ELECTRIC MUSTANG TO COME, WITH THIS VERY TRADITIONAL LOOK FOR IT AT A DRAG STRIP WE'LL HAVE PLENTY MORE ON AS WELL AS ALL THINGS FORD EV.

THERE'S BEEN NO SHORTAGE OF NEWS WHETHER YOU'RE TALKING ELECTRIC BUT, NEITHER ARE BIGGER THAN THE RETURN OF THE FORD BRONCO.

IT'S BEEN 25 YEARS SINCE FORD AND WHILE THE 2021 STARTS OFF AS THE ORIGINAL, TO THE JEEP WRANGLER, AS BRONCO IS TECHNICALLY, WITH THREE DIFFERENT BRONCOS AND MORE ON THE WAY.

FIRST UP IS THE BRONCO ITSELF, IT WILL BE AVAILABLE IN TWO WITH DETACHABLE DOORS, OR CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP.

THE RANGER'S 270 HORSEPOWER WILL BE STANDARD, 2.7 LITER ECOBOOST V6 AS IS A 10-SPEED AUTOMATIC MEANING, STANDARD TRANSMISSION BUILT WITH OFF-ROAD PERFORMANCE TWO DIFFERENT 4-WHEEL-DRIVE AND FORD PROMISES BEST-IN-CLASS GROUND CLEARANCE, WATER FORDING, AND EVEN AND NO NEED TO SPEND MONEY ON A AS 35 INCH TIRES ARE AVAILABLE.

Brian: THERE ARE MANY REASONS AN ALL-NEW BRONCO.

HITTING THE STREETS, THE BIGGEST GETTING OFF THE STREETS IT LOOKS LIKE, FORD'S ENGINEERS REALLY TURNING IT INTO AND IF IT'S AT ALL CAPABLE JEEP IS DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE THE FIRST Greg: THE THIRD MODEL A SMALLER BRONCO SPORT; THE 181 HORSEPOWER WITH THE UPGRADE BEING 2.0 LITER ECOBOOST I4.

TRANSMISSION HERE WHILE, THE SPORT'S OFF-ROAD AS IMPRESSIVE; IT'S CLEARLY MORE OF THE URBAN-CENTRIC SUBCOMPACT John: WHILE, THE TWO ARE GETTING MOST OF I REALLY THINK, BRONCO SPORT THAT COULD BE FOR ONE THING, IT YOU SHOULD NOW, COMBINE THAT WITH A VERY AND GOOD GROUND CLEARANCE ENOUGH THIS SOUNDS AN AWFUL LOT THAT JEEP USED FOR THE 1980s TO IMMENSE SUCCESS WITH I THINK THAT THE BRONCO'S SPORT Greg: IT'S THE BRONCO THAT THIS FALL, WITH 2-DOOR PRICES AND WE'LL HAVE MORE QUICKSPINS, John: IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU'RE OR MAYBE YOU FOLLOW WINNING NASCAR TEAMS.

WELL...NOW, OF THAT HIGH PERFORMANCE LOVE VERY UNEXPECTED PLACES.

* TOYOTA HAS BEEN RACING CARS FOR 15 YEARS NOW, THERE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE MUCH TO THE AVERAGE TOYOTA CUSTOMER.

NOW, THIS 2020 TOYOTA CAMRY TRD KYLE BUSCH'S CHAMPIONSHIP BUT IT IS A FAR CRY AND, THAT'S BECAUSE THE UPDATES JUST SUPERFICIAL.

MECHANICAL UPGRADES START WITH AND ALSO INCLUDE FIRMER SPRINGS, RIDE HEIGHT BY ABOUT WIDER 19-INCH WHEELS ARE ADDED; ARE LARGER BRAKES WITH NEW NOTHING NEW TO REPORT FROM UNDER THE CAMRY'S OPTIONAL 3.5 LITER OUTPUTTING THE SAME AND 267 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE.

BUT, IT DOES GET A CAT-BACK THAT GIVES IT A LITTLE AND THERE WAS PLENTY ENOUGH BITE MAKING US DEAL WITH LOTS OF PATIENCE IS KEY, A LITTLE BEFORE YOU GO 0-60 WAS A MOST ACCEPTABLE AN 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC MANAGES AND SHIFTS ARE QUITE SMOOTH.

POWER STAYED STRONG THROUGHOUT WHICH WE FINISHED AT WITH A NICE AGGRESSIVE WE WERE MUCH MORE IMPRESSED WITH THERE'S VIRTUALLY NO UNDERSTEER A BIG IMPROVEMENT OVER AND BOTH CHASSIS AND STEERING ANY CAMRY WE'VE DRIVEN.

A NICE TIGHT FEEL THROUGHOUT, NOW, IF ALL OF THIS SOUNDS BUT YOU NEED MORE COMFORT AN EVEN BIGGER SURPRISE, IT SEEMS TOYOTA'S "LEXUS LITE" THROUGH THE TRD PARTS SOMETHING ABOUT IT JUST SEEMS THE AVALON OF COURSE, JUST STRETCHES THE WHEELBASE SO IT GETS ALL OF THE SAME AND SOMEHOW, ITS EXHAUST SOUNDS THAN THE CAMRY'S.

AND SPEAKING OF AGGRESSION, WHEN WE'RE JUST NOW GETTING THE STYLING.

YES, BOTH THE CAMRY AND AVALON WITH ENOUGH ADD-ONS TO MAKE YOUR AND PERHAPS GET A LITTLE "COOL CAMRY, BRO!"

THAT MEANS FRONT SPLITTERS, AND EVEN A FULL WING WHILE THE AVALON KEEPS IT CLASSY INTERIOR CHANGES ARE LESS BUT STILL GET THE MESSAGE RED STITCHING RESIDES AND EVEN THE SEATBELTS ARE RED.

THE BEST PART OF THE CAMRY TRD PRICING IS JUST $32,125.

THAT UNDERCUTS THE XLE V6 MAKING THE TRD THE CHEAPEST THE MOST ENTERTAINING V6 CAMRY NOT SO WITH THE AVALON, AND TOURING TRIMS, AT $43,330.

IT'S HARD TO SAY HOW MANY PEOPLE WITH PLEAS FOR SPORTIER CAMRY'S BUT, SALES OF THE SPORTY-LOOKING CONTINUE TO RISE, EVEN MORE EXCITING WITH BETTER PERFORMANCE, THAT TOYOTA ALWAYS SEEMS TO THE 2020 TOYOTA CAMRY TRD AND AT TRACK DAYS ANYTIME SOON, YOUR DAILY GRIND A LITTLE MORE TO PAY MORE TO DO IT, WELL, THAT'S OUR SHOW, NOW FOR MORE MOTORWEEK; PODCASTS, CRUISE ON OVER TO AND I HOPE YOU'LL WHEN WE'LL TEST THE NEW JEEP THEN, SEE IF 4-DOORS IN THE MERCEDES AMG G63 S.
