Eric Malone has a grudge to pick with Jeff Hunt and his team in Mississippi: he thinks he can make their slowest car "The First 48" outrun Jeff Hunt's fastest car, "Homicide". Malcolm Storey's new car, "Riley", starts becoming a headache for the 256 team

Tension is high while the 256 team scrambles to come up with a plan for James Rowlette's Vega. Meanwhile, the race between the 442 and Riley, Malcolm Storey's Grand Prix is approaching. Will Eric and Brant's efforts be enough to beat 442 for the $10,000?

The 256 team is challenged with whipping Kenny Ford's old Dodge Dart into shape in time for Radial Fest, Alabama's biggest street car race. They tangle with the Big Slick team and their champion Mopar and end up with an even bigger problem on their hands.

Why stop with one Malibu when you can have two? Last racing season, 256 took Malcolm Storey's Malibu and made the Black Mamba. Eric and Brant came across another Malibu they can build into a twin G-body, and want to see which of the two is faster.

Eric has been called to rescue an 06' Mustang that was top of the line in its heyday, but has been sitting in a garage for a decade since. Brant wants help with his new Camaro, but the use of resources with the Vega race approaching has priorities split.

While the 256 team works effortlessly to build a vega from stock Brant has taken his new camaro to his own shop. With a big race coming up involving the whole team, will Eric and Brant find a way to make amends and bring the team back together?

The freshly painted Vega is finally ready for testing, but they need to get it down the track in under five seconds in order to beat James Rowlette and his Boost of Burden Mustang. The teams have agreed to go head to head to see who takes the new Vega.
