Today on the MotorTrend Channel, the team embarks on a thrilling rally racing adventure at Durant Offroad Park in Georgia. Reminiscing about past exploits with the vet cart, they return with the American-made 1991 Eagle Talon TSI, a surprising choice for rally racing. With 190 horsepower and 200 ft-lbs of torque, the Talon undergoes a transformation with aftermarket upgrades, boasting an impressive 400 horsepower and a big turbo. The team's goal is clear: to turn this unconventional car into a competitive rally contender.

As the day unfolds, Shay arrives with a formidable 2000 Subaru WRX, setting the stage for a showdown on the track. The WRX, equipped with a 5.3 LS engine and 350 horsepower, showcases its performance capabilities, setting the bar high for the Talon. The team meticulously prepares the Talon for its run, making crucial adjustments to enhance its rally racing prowess. With raised suspension, added safety features like a roll bar and harnesses, and a skid plate, the Talon is ready to take on the challenge.

Finnegan takes the wheel of the Talon, pushing its limits and showcasing its improved handling and grip on the track. The team's initial run yields a promising time of 152.5, indicating progress and potential for further improvement. Eager to push the Talon to its full potential, Finnegan embarks on a second run with determination and skill. The Talon's performance exceeds expectations, clocking in at an impressive 148.9, leaving the team in awe of the car's enhanced capabilities and their exhilarating rally racing experience.
