Check out Heidi’s car-versation with Wyatt “Whitt” Stengel as they chat about his 1974 KE20 Toyota Corolla and its top speed (racing an Audi R8). Wyatt talks about how he wound up going from a diesel shop owner to drag-racing a 1970 GMC K15 that’s been in his family for three generations. And if he could do any build he wanted—with no budget limitations—what would it be?
