Sometimes the fact that an engine is powerful isn't enough. You want to feel its strength and hear it's roar! That's why Alan loves a great V8 block. First up, as the 2018 SEMA Show draws nearer, Owner of Collins Bros Jeep, Dennis Collins, shares how he's upping the ante on 6.4L Hemi Jeep Wrangler JL builds with a 707 hp V8 Hellcat engine. We also hear about some amazing new finds that Dennis has uncovered with his 'Classics Wanted Dead or Alive' initiative. Next, Autotrader Executive Editor, Brian Moody, explains why buying certified pre-owned is usually a much better deal than buying new, thanks to value depreciation. Then, automotive journalist BJ Killeen plays devils advocate for V6 engines like the 3.5 L EcoBoost, and gives her review of the 2019 Kia Forte. Switching gears, we take time to remember the amazing life, work, and legacy of the late Burt Reynolds and his cars with Restore A Muscle Car Owner/Operator, Dave Hall. Lastly, we close out the show with an interview from two years ago with American Actor, Director, and Producer, Burt Reynolds. Rest in peace, Burt, you are missed.
