In this riveting episode of Cleetus McFarland, teams Jack and Josh Weber and Zach and Ty engage in a thrilling $3,000 car challenge in the vibrant city of Miami. The stakes are high as they aim to race their newly acquired vehicles back to their Tampa shop. Team Jack and Josh opt for a Chrysler 300 with a powerful 5.7 Hemi engine, a strategic choice over a sleek V6 Camaro for enhanced performance on the road. Meanwhile, Zach and Ty take a risk with a Mini Cooper S equipped with a supercharger, promising a unique driving experience.

The tension rises as the teams face initial challenges with their budget rides. Team Jack and Josh negotiate the Chrysler down to $2,500, leaving room for $500 in modifications to boost their chances of victory. On the other hand, Zach and Ty encounter issues with overheating and a malfunctioning clutch in their Mini Cooper, putting their confidence to the test. Despite setbacks, both teams exude determination and competitive spirit as they prepare to showcase their cars' capabilities in the upcoming challenges.

As the teams reconvene, the contrasting dynamics between the Chrysler's Hemi power and the Mini Cooper's performance upgrades set the stage for an exhilarating showdown. Team Jack and Josh, known as the "Hemi Brothers," exude confidence in their unbeatable Hemi engine and leftover budget, ready to dominate the competition. Meanwhile, Zach and Ty's Mini Cooper faces technical difficulties, but their innovative modifications hint at a potential game-changer. The anticipation builds as these two teams gear up to hit the road and put their $3,000 budget cars to the ultimate test in a race back to Tampa.
