Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire brings in his Ford SVT Raptor. Adam, Sandy and Matt give it the once over. Matt seems to be sold on the SVT Raptor as one of the best trucks he has driven and can’t say enough good about it. And yes the 6.2 is an overhead cam engine!

Adam Carolla and the Professor Sandy Ganz are back on the phone for this episode. As always the ACE digs deep and tells the store of ‘Snake Oiler’ and how he got his name. Then onto the real star of the show, the Mercedes AMG SLS. We take a tour of the car and then Professor Ganz and Motorator Matt go out and give the car a quick test. We also introduce a new segment called “Test Drive Thru”, which you might be able to figure out. To wrap up this weeks episode a special video on The Ripper where we get the car fitted with some new Flowmaster Exhaust. Enjoy the show!
The CarCast crew need to extend special thanks to Mercedes Benz for the (hard) use of the SLS for this episode. Also to Motorator Matt for making the connections and getting the car down here to the shop. And let’s not forget the folks at ContourHD cameras for all the in and out of car HD video cameras!
For The Ripper segment special thanks to Flowmaster (Cam) and Big John’s Automotive (Steve!) for his hard work getting the pipes and Hushpower mufflers tucked under the car.

Adam and Sandy take a look at the stunning Mercedes AMG SLS. The Gullwing. Through some special arraignments by Motorator Matt, Mercedes let us have the car for an episode. Take a look as Carolla and The Professor look at one of the most anticipated vehicles Mercedes has produced in recent years. While we have no one for the ‘Special Guest’ this week, the SLS clearly needs no introduction.
