Head 2 Head

- Season 10

(2019)

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Jonny Lieberman and Jethro Bovingdon visit the nearly 800 horsepower club. The Ferrari 812 Superfast and Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye might seem worlds apart on paper-and believe us, they are-but they are only separated by 8 horsepower. Beyond that, each car is an Instagram star, the type of vehicle that we all would have had a poster of on our bedroom wall as teenagers. The boys must figure out which almost 800 horsepower car is best via the three Ds-driving, drag racing, and, of course, drifting. Burnouts also play a role because, ...

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Jethro Bovingdon and Jonny Lieberman go extreme-performance variants of performance variants. The boys already feel that the Porsche GT3 is one of the best sports cars ever made, and the GT3 RS takes things even further. Not to be outdone, the McLaren 600LT is nearly one-quarter modified compared to the 570S it sits on top of. The McLaren has more power and less weight than the Porsche-plus it shoots flames. Has the GT3 RS met its match, or can Porsche find a way? Watch and find out.

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Jethro Bovingdon and Jonny Lieberman go on a European odyssey to find out which sports car is the best: BMW's mighty mite M2 Competition or the mid-engine, ultralight Alpine A110. BMW's approach is a classic-stuff a big, powerful engine into a tiny car. Only instead of creating an American-style muscle car, BMW's M division has given the M2 Competition some athletic dance moves. The diminutive Alpine is the opposite. Weighing in at approximately 1,000 pounds less than the Bimmer, the A110 uses a sophisticated chassis, mid-engine balance...

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Jethro Bovingdon and Jonny Lieberman head off the beaten, paved path to look at two of the last hardcore production SUVs left on earth. The Jeep Wrangler was born during the crucible of world war, with General (and later President) Eisenhower calling it "one of three decisive weapons the U.S. had during WWII." The Wrangler is the original SUV, and all others since are copycats. Massively updated for 2019, the newest Wrangler took home the coveted MotorTrend SUV of the Year award. The Mercedes G-Wagen also began life as a military ...

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Jethro Bovingdon and Jonny Lieberman set out to see if the mighty Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio has finally met a car it can't beat. Ever since its first comparison test, the Ferrari-engined sport sedan has laid waste to the competition. For a very good reason, too: the 505hp Italian is the real deal. Enter Jaguar's bonkers Project 8. There's a run of the mill XW sedan lurking somewhere underneath, but you'd be hard-pressed to say where, as 80 percent of the Project 8's hardware is new. Most importantly, there's a 592hp supercharged V-...

It's good to be rich, now more than ever. But with so many brand-new supercars out there, do you really need to replace your 991.1 GT3 RS with the 991.2 version? Actually yes, you do, but that's beside the point. Maybe what you really need is something old made new-something you loved decades ago that has been re-created for today. Enter the MAT New Stratos, for all intents and purposes a Ferrari F430 Scuderia with nearly 8-inches chopped from the wheelbase. It should handle like a 540hp go-kart, right? Though what if you wanted your retromod whip to be a bit heavier ...

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Jethro Bovingdon and Jonny Lieberman live out their ultimate grand touring fantasies with the help of two big, beautiful, British beasts. Each car has more power than anyone needs, more leather than a cigar lounge, and looks that if they don't kill, will most certainly wound. The plan? Grand tour the sexy coupes down to watch the 24 Hours of Le Mans, while keeping their thirst for high-powered adventure quenched. The reality? A bit different than the boys planned. Not to give it all away, but can both cars go over 200 miles per hour? ...

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Jethro Bovingdon and Jonny Lieberman head south to pit icon against icon-the legendary Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 against one of the most hotly anticipated new cars ever, the fifth-generation Toyota Supra. Starting on the Tail of the Dragon-one of the world's great roads-the boys set out to discover if the refreshed for 2019 Shelby is better than the one that came before, and also if the new, BMW-built Supra is any good at all. Next, after a quick road trip to Kentucky, Lieberman and Bovingdon take the sports cars drag racing at Beech ...

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Jonny Lieberman and Jethro Bovingdon check out the current state of the hot hatch art. The Honda Civic Type R knocked the front-wheel-drive performance car world on its ear when it debuted a couple years back. How could anything with undriven rear wheels handle and perform so well? In 2018, the Type R finished fourth at Best Driver's Car, behind the Lamborghini Huracán Performante, Porsche GT2 RS, and McLaren 720S. Not bad for a hot hatch that starts at less than $40,000. Enter the Hyundai Veloster N, which starts at less than $30,000. ...

Jethro Bovingdon and Jonny Lieberman examine the 2019 Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE and the 2020 Evora GT. Which of these two seemingly incomparable track day specials is best in this comparison test?

On this holiday episode of Head 2 Head, Jonny Lieberman and Jethro Bovingdon wring out two honest to goodness super sedans, the BMW M5 Competition and the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S.
