We Bought 3 Dirt Cheap Sports Cars...Here's How Fast (Or Slow) They Actually Are | Car Trek S6E1
We DARE YOU to find something cheaper than we did on AutoTempest!►bit.ly/CarTrek601
Thanks to AutoTempest.com for sponsoring this series!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
On the first episode of Car Trek Series 6, AutoTempest challenges the guys to buy three cars each, for less than $30,000, to make their ultimate dream $30k garage. It must have a sports car, a luxury sedan, and a capable off roader, and they should represent the guys' favorite country of manufacture.
Tyler immediately went America all over everyone, with a 2000 Pontiac Trans Am WS6, Ed bought a questionably maintained 1999 Porsche 911 from Germany, and Freddy's Japanese car roots led him to none other than a 1995 Toyota Supra. The guys were then given challenges to see how much power they actually made, and if that power could be put down to the ground. Hold on to your butts.

Don't forget the coyote 5.0
Ed is right, Porsche and Corvette owners are the best car owners.
Entertaining excellent
I highly doubt you got that we supra for 23gs maybe 53gs and that's somebody really needing money bahaha no offense
Man I need one if these to be donated to me Edit: okay maybe not the Porsche unless it was fixed
The level of cheating you are about to witness is truly unacceptable and on behalf of Freddy, I would like to apologize.
Ah no problem
I love my vinwiki shirt
Ah Ed, let’s not pretend you aren’t all cheaters of exorbitant magnitude 😏
He would have been immediately disqualified if he hadn't bought it off of AutoTempest!
I LEARNED IT BY WATCHING YOU
Car trek is basically the American top gear that we all wanted thank you Tavarish, hoovie and Ed for making this my favorite KZhead series of all time!
Its doing the job for us over in the UK 🇬🇧 too, no mean feat, but car trek is SO much better than ANY top gear since the Holy Trinity left due to a salad! Thanks a million guys, Unexpected but awesome 👌 is the new "Ambitious but...."
Yuuuup
So who would you say is who? Clarkson: Hammond: May:
100% and I am from the uk
@@Craig-wp3pz idk Tavarish seems more like Captain Slow, Hoovie is to wacky to be anyone other then Hammond. 😂🤣
what concerns me is ed's decision making process that makes him go "why yes, i'll have the porsche thats been getting crapped on by chickens for the last decade".
"Does this start?" Ed - "I don't know?!"🤷♂️ 🤣🔥
What kind of backwards world is it when Ed follows the rules better than Freddy?
Must be Russia or something, everything’s backwards
i know right, A Supra is not a cheap sportscar nowdays
@@niconugishd9150 Like a 996 is. 😂
A world's end I tell you that
@@niconugishd9150 not literally, because the Supra it's more a GT but expensive af it is
I look forward to these videos soooooo much! I have no time to watch yet I make the time because they are so enjoyable to watch! Keep it up dudes!
Thanks so much!
there personalities are what makes it all! you couldn’t ask for a better trio 😂 (sorry top gear 🌚)
GET CHRIS FIX ON CAR TREK!
how do you have no free time? it's not like you have a real job or even a weekly upload schedule like you used to
@@tavarish So i guess what we all wanna know when we going to see the next part, because you guys left it when it becomes even more interesting.. (>__< ) !!!
The Firebird Trans Am WS6 may be one of the best bang for your buck sports cars out there. Because it's based on the Camero platform of the same years, you can find plenty of aftermarket suspension components to make it handle quite well and you get some really impressive horsepower and torque figures because LS. LS motors are the gameshark of engines, as Mr. Regular says. If you have one, you just win. Plus, you get to revel in the carry-over 90's nostalgia for just a little bit longer, which is nice.
It's not really "based" on the Camaro. They are both built on GM's F Body platform which actually has roots all the way back to 1967.
@@matthewhaworth5935I mean they're basically the same car, but I don't think it's unfair to say based on because the Camaro came out first 🤷🏻
Am I the only one to point out that neither Ed nor Tyler ran their car in the 1:1 gear? That would definitely give a different WHP rating.
Yeah, pretty certain you're correct. T-56 1:1 gear should be 4th gear.
I'm just going to go ahead and say that the WS6 will dominate everything. Best car ever made! No bias here whatsoever.
Agreed! 4th gear is 1:1, not 3rd. Wouldn’t using 3rd gear for the dyno pull make the hp seem more favorable?
Luckily you are not biased 🤣
I had a black 01 WS6 for several years, worst car I ever owned. The rear pinion seal started leaking about every 5k miles, the spark plug wires liked to pop off at random, one of the catalytic converters collapsed internally and had to be replaced under warranty and there was a hose for the emission controls up inside the nose that kept coming off and kicking the check engine light about once a week. I miss it though, it looked great, it sounded great, and it was a blast to drive. You just had to plan on some downtime.
I totally agree....and it's also not because I am biased aswell and have a 97 T/A with the 6-speed.
hahahah "no Bias" he says!!! i came here for your comment when i saw the WS6.
so Hoovy got the car that a high-school bully would drive, Freddie got the Instagram clout car, and Ed got a car that looks like it was bought at a police impound auction after a chop shop got busted for selling stolen parts
I'd say the chop shop housed a fair amount of cock fights also.
For Ed's car, that sounds like exactly what happened to it.
Freddy always brings a car that works for that description. lol
You on point with that observation n Ed is a trip lol🚫🧢
And the chop shop was on fire at the time it was busted.
You folks do such a great job with this series. I have LOL'd I don't know how many times. Good job and keep it up! It will be a very long time before I get tired of these series'. 🙂
He guys, great show! Really enjoy it. I have a suggestion (looking at you Tavarish), if you added an episode # to every title it would be easier for us to binge watch your series. Can't find the rest of the 355 build, 3r etc... Not a complaint, just in the middle of devouring all three of you guys content. Keep up the good work!
27:50 “that thing is as southern as speed dating at a family reunion” 🤣🤣🤣. Good one, Ed!
He said you must have those holstered 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
410whp isn't a bad number for that WS6. Probably 500ish at the motor. Was running rich up top and idle was off. With a better tune, probably another 20-30 hp. Hoovie definitely got the best car for the money, without cheating.
i was gonna say theyre definetely talking whp with the results
I love these three guys. They have helped me get through some rough spots in life.
They helped you move?
I owned a 94 trans am for close to 10 years. Thanks for bringing back a lot of good memories! Keep it up 👍
That WS6 is worth every penny of $10k! What a steal! Also it has A cam Hoovie, not cams. 😂
Ok I'm glad someone mentioned that lol
Always wanted to have a dirt bag WS6 do burnouts in! Great work guys.
Dude even the dirt bag lt1 trans ams are fun
That Trans Am is Bad ass!!
@@brainwashed1542 o
LT1 are tons of fun! I have a 96 Camaro Z28
I got 98 trans am fun to drive. Although my reverse did just go out….
Me and my son just ran into you at the gas station and took a picture in the 911. Didn’t know y’all had a video with a ws6. Just moved here from tn I brought my 2002 ws6 auto. Ima have to swing by the shop for sure. Made my sons day to sit in his dream car!! Appreciate you guys!!
Gotta day this gives me top gear USA vibes. Since my mother passing away 12-30-21 watching this makes me laugh and cheers me up in this rough path I’m going threw keep the episodes coming guys
The Supra is awesome, but the amount of time and money he's put into it (and current market value) is quite a bit more than $30,000. Freddy's cheating.
that car is well over 100k if i had to guess
Supras be over priced in america, here you can buy these for 35-55k euros depending on if stock or modified
the gag is someone cheats every car trek
All these cars are lol so is the trans am it’s like a old school Supra of GM
my dream car is a nissan silvia s14 and for my family it expensive
I've never seen a Supra be called dirt cheap lol. You gotta be rich as hell to be calling one dirt cheap
These people have zero clue what cheap means anymore, they're too rich to know now
Lol I saw the Supra and immediately looked back at the title like whaaaaaaaa… dirt cheap???
Exactly, theyre going for $50-60k, with those mods thats what a $70k car. Cheap my ass.
@@nallen1006 yeah but he got it for 26k and he's cheating lmao
Came here just to find these comments. It's absolutely ridiculous for the title to state "Dirt Cheap", when they're being purchased for 10 to 20k. For someone to think that purchasing a vehicle for that kind of money is cheap, it's really telling of the type of person they are, and what mindset they have. Put guys like these into the life of any random average Joe, and they'll off themselves within the first month. They couldn't handle not being able to buy anything, and everything they want, and always getting their way. All the while, your average person can't even afford the bare necessities that they actually need to survive. 🤦🏻🤷
This series is great! Just found it! Should get some more marketing behind them as these three could be as good as the UK Top Gear given the right budget.
These guys are so fun to watch… I love thier different personalities
New rule. You're required to sell the car for the price you claim it is worth. Think Tavarish will sell his cheatermobile for $27K?
omg yes
Likely yes. That's cheap for a Supra these days and even though this one isn't in perfect condition the fact that it's been owned and modified by Tavarish would probably be worth something to the right person.
hell naw T wont sell it
I don't see a scenario where he bought that trans am for the claimed 10k, you can't touch one in that condition for less than 20k...
@@canehdiansteve3455 I don't think it's a question of whether he can sell it that high, it's whether he's willing to sell it that low. That's a $50k car in this market.
"That's German Horsepower. They're bigger horses." - Ed Bolian One of the greatest things I've ever heard.
A lot of German companies overexaggerate their power figures... it's insane and they need to be forced to stop lol
They're metric horses.
@@insomniacbritgaming1632 🤣 .you're talking bullshit, it's just a different entity. By the way, our German horses are stronger.

Mtn dew,Dip cans and license suspension notices. Classic
The Trans Am got me here. The personalities kept me here. This was a lot of fun to watch.
That WS6 has got to be the best $10K ever spent
It's a good deal but Corvette C5s are at their 20 year low. Just got an 01 for $9,000 and the Corvette can handle on a curvy road better. I'm not a drag guy though so clear bias.
@@andrewroid1276 You know what the biggest issue with that C5 is? You'll have to be seen in it...
10 grand lol. Okay he says so
@@AB-80X wdym those are good looking cars
@@thunderroad7289 Yeah, I happened to have been looking on Saturday, there's no F-body with LS1 for under 30k on the market now!!
"every single built-Supra makes 1,000 horsepower" - classic
Easy even more like 1500
I dont even like cars that much but there's something about watching 3 buds just having a blast that's fun to watch.
I am enjoying this show way more than I thought I would thank you!
This is great fun.
Im pretty dure, WS6 dominate everything
The dyno test reminds me of when the Top Gear boys bought 3 Italian classic cars and Jeremy's Maserati had 80HP.
And exploded. (Not on the dyno, admittedly.)
well this is a rip off of top gear aint it
@@PimpDaddyStyles Its called homage i think... top gear aint top gear anymore these guys are the best top gear i know right now....
@@insiainutorrt259 the best top gear right now would be the grand tour lol
@@PimpDaddyStyles Dont feel like the old ones to me not as fun nor intresting
Grew up watching Cartrek and motorweek on pbs was awesome then and thank you guys for bringing it back!
I have always loved the supra, and it's wrenched nicely. Good job bud
The 599 was pushing it, but the Supra is literally just a car he already owned! I get cheating is the joke but this is absurd!
Kind of takes the fun out of it
@@drink15 it really does
Yeah it ruined it for me. I tapped out and didn't even finish the video because of it.
@@mrnobody6609 same here lol. If they all had just gotten cars in todays market that would have been interesting but nah he really ruined the video
I was super confused. I saw the supra and was like, where did you find that AND 2 other cars for 30K?
For any of you that are curious, when Freddy first got his Supra it only made about 120 hp to the wheels.
And it’s dirt cheap?
Yeah I don’t understand them letting his completely modded Supra to slide on this one like we didn’t watch him build it 😂
I'm guessing the 27k was for that 120hp, not with the work. I'm still curious how he buys 2 more cars for 3k though!
@@IamR3D88 23k was the cost of the supraa
@@azizchemli2526 I'm guessing the stock supra right? cuz then shouldn't the price of the mods be factored in?
"I went so fast parts are flying off this thing" 🤣😂🤣 I love it!
“Mountain Dew, dip cans, and notices of license suspension”. 😂😂😂😂😂
Sadly we know there’s no way to get any Supra under 50k especially a 95 😂
Imported a 1994 supra 2jzge earlier this year for 27 grand
Go to UK/Australia
@@alaskandonn4236 hey man! I'm planning on doing the same. Do you know a good website/importer? Thanks in advance!
@@gucciserg8093 I used JDM Expo, not sure if their inventory is diminished now though
Having had both a 4th-gen F-body and a C5 Z06: that steering column doesn't usually do that, you should address it 😬
Not gonna lie. My 96 TA did that. But it literally was my first car. My 98 was solid though
Allot of them do it my 02 ss did it, his isn’t even bad I’ve seen some that move 1-3 inches 😂
@@chargedtv1167 my 98 z28 does too lmao
That's terrible 🤣 even my 1993 Z28 didn't do anything like that after 140k miles and all sorts of nonsense.
My '00 Formula with 200k didn't wobble like that. I was waiting for it to fall off after hard launch.
Fred and Ed are the best.
My first time watching a Car Trek episode. 100 times better than Top Gear USA.
Between Ed saying "that trunk is full of Mtn Dew, Dip Cans and Notices of License suspension." and Tyler dropping "Gapplebee's" this is going to be the best season yet.
Definitely looking that way!
“Southerner speed dating at a family reunion”
@@ikedakazuto5061 that one was my favorite😂🤣
As someone who owned a clapped 4th gen with an LS I can agree with Hoovie, very cheap fun.
The VinWiki Guy is pretty good but doesn't matter what anybody does nobody's going to come close to the magic that James Jeremy and Richard have.
545 with 20% removed it 436. Tyler's car likely makes close to the sticker crank. That's awesome
"This thing is as southern as speed dating at a family reunion" How does nobody speak about this one? 😱
"buy a sports car for 10k" hoovie: "i bought a car with 2 noses" ed: "i bought a car that's been stolen 3 times and shat on by chickens for 10 years" tavarish: "i literally didn't even buy a car lmao" off to an incredible start, well done
They may be poking fun at it but I love that Trans-Am.
That T/A WS6 has always been my sweetheart muscle car! If you've never seen 1 rolling up on you at 100+ mph in your rear view mirror, you just wouldn't understand. They're BEASTS!!!
Ed’s Porsche 993: *Achievement Unlocked* “Strike 3” “Buy a Porsche that has been stolen 3 times.” 😂
That's a 996 😉
"We bought 3 dirt cheap sports cars"... shows up in modified supra worth 60-75g's okay.jpeg
My thoughts exactly
that ws6 probably had 500 once upon a time, but it the tire old ls might be due for a freshening up, but 410 to the wheels is still a fun ride. throw a turbo on that ls, and that would have been a completely different story, even from a stock bottom end ls.
Does it start? I don’t know. Lmfao!!! Ed kills me
I worked at a Pontiac dealer when this trans am came out and they were one of the strongest domestic things on the street at the time
And then came the Terminator
So good to see the boys back together. Everything is right in the world.
Have you already picked out which one you are putting an offer in on?
@@trendel13 oh I’ve got my eye on a few.
What car do you buy this time?
Ah so we'll see you in the next episode of CarTrek! What an honour for you to be in it!
@@SparkyFolf yes I’m looking forward to my cameo in the next episode!
after watching all of the car treks, I can say Ed is a Natural entertainer. Funniest guy
I'm dying, that 911 chicken coop édition has barely more power than my Ford Fiesta XD
A 996 with a factory aero kit is relatively rare. It has the Sport Design wheels, which are relatively valuable. I have a "plain" manual coupe, in much better condition, and I am jealous.
Fellow Porsche guys where you at?
I vote they send you the wheels and kit when this is over!
Plus it has the X51 powerkit and a limited slip. The LSD was only available in 1999 and 2004 on the 40th Anniversary. Almost nobody ordered the X51. This is an extremely rare car that has been horribly neglected.
That is a super rare car, and he paid about half what it would bring in an auction, he can find some deals, its awesome!
@@patricklinkous wow that's a little fucked of porsche.. I figured there'd be a lot more LSDs in their bespoke rwd coupes. I see it wasn't even an option except for the two you pointed out! Same with bmw letting all those n54s run around without lsd
I always thought Ed was the biggest cheater in Cartrek but damn Freddy you took the cake.
Well, that still leaves him with 7K for two future cars. Can he find anything that even runs for that little?

No joke my 2001 automatic BONE stock WS6 ran a 13.2@106 with nothing but the rear tire pressure lowered to 25psi
Those old f body lt1s and ls1s were faster than advertised, no doubt. I had a 94 z28 and a 2000 SS. Both definitely not "around" 300 hp
@@chriscole4717 They had to reduce the advertised HP to not compete with the corvette of the same year.
Honestly, it's starting to annoy me how its always atleast one of them who disregards the budget completely. The quirky competetive side of this is lost to some degree. The cars should be true budget sportcars
I completely agree. The cheating is annoying. I know they probably think it’s funny, but it ruins the integrity of the challenges.
Couldnt agree more. Its sad that these episodes are pure entertainment instead of proper car stuff and thats why there are that kind of stupid "hehe, funny stuff" ruining it all. Any decent car enthusiast thinks these kind of Car Treks where ppl dont stick with the rules are just garbage.
@@SmokinGunn I respectfully disagree, I am a pretty big car enthusiast, and I for example love this show
It’s a tv show ffs calm down

That was a good race between Tyler and Freddy. Well done Tyler! :)

When the ws6 walked that Supra I felt complete joy because I grew up in a world that idolized the Japanese sports cars while I was left alone to idolize the LS 350. It wasn't for notthin

I'm so happy that the Trans Am won 😁
I don’t know why I laughed and smiled so many times during this video. The three of y’all are great together. Great chemistry
This Car Trek series just keeps getting better and better! What a great group of cars to test against each other.... go the supra!

@@raul350raptor The main issue is the blow-by on it s is horrendous. It's still fast, but the engine is like the other two and in need of some serious tlc.
gotta make some dough for this
Make note of the tires on Tyler's Trans am, those are obviously very good for the money after all
would like to see you get three ok cars ,dyno them , then tune /uprate the engines , then dyno again to see what improvement (if any ) !
Freddy saying "Dude I almost had you." Famous Fast Furious line right there. I guess he owes Tyler a 10 second car.
"You never had your car"
if you take into account drivetrain loss, the trans am does make around 540 at the crank
And it isn't even running right
Tf are you smoking that you think a t56 ws6 is gonna lose 25% to the wheels
Nah, clearly the tune is off running rich, might have some head gasket issue pulling coolant, or something. I would have pulled the plugs while at the dyno and invested in new ones. As well as a tune while there lol
And he clearly states “Third gear is my 1:1” and proceeds to dyno the car….4th gear, like almost every other American car, is the 1:1 gear ratio. I’m sure that would effect the dyno numbers one way or the other.
@@wfomotorsports9122 unless it has some oddball unforeseen aftermarket transmission, 1:1 would be correct…with an automatic. That should have the Tremec T56 6 speed from the factory. With a 1:1 4th gear
I do love the look of the WS-6. The Firechicken is good looking
That farm footage of the 911 was one of the funniest car intros in the history of car intros!!! Holy hell that was funny!!
I don't know why, but the "it has a label on it, doesn't need to go on the dyno" argument cracked me up. You guys are doing great, replicating the original TG formula without feeling like a B-tier rip off!
It's a great week when we get a Grand Tour episode and 4 days later Car Trek begins again. Thank you!!!
Did you see the dust fall out the supra dash when he did the hit launch! Thats amazing and hilarious
That gated shifter joke had me rolling, even Ed wasn't going to argue with it 🤣
You guys have no idea how much I needed this tonight , Thankyou everyone involved for this amazing series! ❤️
The amazing thing to me is, in 20 months 3 KZheadrs (with a fair bit of help) have put out 6 seasons of Car Trek that in many ways are equal to (and sometimes better) than the CHM Top Gear (though not as good as some of the Top Gear Specials) so a massive tip of the cap from car lovers everywhere for putting out this great content.
I'd like to hear stories of cars actually on budget and getting the coolest things you can for the price. Freddy's thing isn't really clever, it's actually kind of annoying and took me out of it.
He was just tired of losing every car series on his own channel 😂
Rewatching my favorite seasons 😊 while I wait for the next episodes of season 9
I was rooting for Tyler in the drag race. Mostly, after when Freddy explained, that the Supra was originally a NA 2JZ GE and he had to spend lots of money and work to make it a turbo one. But in the main point V8 is V8 in hell too... ;-)
Just goes to show you that a 10k Firebird down on power is superior to a decked out modified Supra. lol
Ws6 for the win! Gotta respect the 5.7 built right. But 2JZ is still awesome.
@@kabloosh699 Not to mention the supra is running Michelin PS4S's while the trans is running discount chinese rubber
Yup domestic over Jdm any day
The production quality that you guys have managed to bring to KZhead is insane. Can't believe this hasn't been picked up by a network yet.
I hope it doesn't honestly. Everyone with a phone/computer has youtube, lots of people don't even have cable/specific streaming services though.
Networks won't pay for anything anymore unless it's politically woke. Words like horsepower and race fuel are offensive.
@@zjunk4877 bruh 😭 you right tho
@@zjunk4877 That or have boasted scripts and poor acting. Nothing is original with reality TV.
TV is dead.
that michelin/michelob joke was really good freddy
My suggestion for a challenge format with such junkers: (First of all everyone genuinely has to buy the cars after the challenge has been set) 1. Endurance race for only a few points to get all the faults known and any failures to fail: the one who makes it the furthest wins. I suggest mandatory cool-down laps every 3 laps or something like one lap with a (GPS-confirmed) speed limit. That's because even brand new road cars can't take sustained track abuse. 2. Everyone gets their cars fixed by professionals, like properly fixed (the necessary stuff for it to work, not cosmetic etc.). The challenge is: lowest price wins. 3. A proper race. Medium distance. Or maybe two sprint races (three if tied). 4. Everyone gets the chance to upgrade their car in one area. Maybe don't let the winner of the stage 3 race upgrade at all, 2nd place gets one are to improve, and the last place gets two areas to improve. 5. Final race after improvements. 6. As OffRoadRN suggested: sell the cars, maybe at auction. Best price for the car wins.
Ed’s Porches Crime-11 is probably my favorite of these three cars, though the Trans-Am comes close.
What a perfect Christmas gift. Car Trek 6!!! I can't wait to open the next ones. Thank you Freddy, Hoovie and Ed for taking the time out of your busy life for us. A special thanks to your families for being patient. Its those behind the scenes that help to decide where time should be spent. So Thank you family, your very special people.
First time I seen a a Supra like this is when I was a kid and it was racing a trans-am down Dale Mabry in Tampa.
You guys definitely give me a bit of top gear vibes, which is a good thing digging the content
The WS6 was the best car in the episode, stayed in the rules, extremely reliable platform, clean appearance, super cheap maintenance. If I hadn't gotten such a deal on my C6, I would have looked for a WS6. The Supra was a cheat, my mkIII Supra TT I got for 16k in this market would have been a better comparison. If you're going to bring your own car that you've put tens of thousands of dollars in, then why even be part of this video?
Are you on Instagram with the Supra
@@domesticatedape4378 no, call me an old man, but I don't use that much social media. There's a dude in town with the American variant of my car that I met at a local car meet with an insta, I think he's under 'bald Supra guy' or something like that. He's got the 7M-GTE, I had the 1G-GTE JDM version. Decent platform for the time, but no headroom, especially compared to the 1JZ/2JZ platform that released shortly thereafter. And absolutely zero aftermarket....
Completely agree
Then to see it get beaten by a tired, abused, oil eating LS was what made it that much more satisfying. Granted the Supra needs a driver mod, but still.
You can't touch a trans am in that condition for $10k, he had to have paid more 🙄
"I know Vin Diesel didn't know what it meant, either." Nothing has ever been more true on Car Trek.
the ws6 is my fav car trek car of all times now. just cause its something id love to have now an when i was 16
