Their goal is to build a car that packs a serious punch - 600 horsepower to be exact - and is a true representation of American muscle.
The episode begins with Rob and his friend, Big Black, visiting a custom car shop in the hopes of finding a suitable starting point for their project.

They visit a local raceway where they get behind the wheel of some seriously impressive cars, including a Lamborghini and a Porsche. The adrenaline-fueled day serves as a reminder of why they're working so hard on their own customized ride - the thrill of the open road is the ultimate reward.
As the build nears completion, Rob and the crew begin to feel the excitement mounting. When the moment finally arrives to take the car out for a test drive, everyone is on edge. However, all of the hard work and dedication pays off - the car performs flawlessly and delivers the kind of power and speed that they had all been hoping for.
In the end, "600 Horsepower of American Muscle" serves as a testament to the power of hard work and determination. Through countless setbacks and obstacles, Rob and his crew were able to create a truly remarkable vehicle that represents the very best of American muscle.
