[ramp things up]
Explanation:
She says "let's ramp things up," which is a pun. She makes a literal ramp, and she means they should "up the energy," we could maybe say.

  -> Thanks! I'm using them to denote when it's really not a translation but rather a clarification of sorts. Is it too confusing/odd? It's not KudoZ convention, so I can certainly stop!

neutral  Taña Dalglish: With all due respect, Neeraj, why not agree with Becca if you are merely confirming that it is "Ramp things up"? Duplicating another posting that says the same thing (at 11 mins). Not nice at all!/Nothing changed/your spin (speed up?) (ans.=up the energy

disagree  Lydia De Jorge: You're simply copying an answer given at 11 minutes.// easily done in the discussion box or reference section.

disagree  Taña Dalglish: Not what the Asker is asking!! He is seeking confirmation of what it says in the video against the script which he has, rather than an interpretation of what "Ramp things up" or "Ramp it up" (whichever?) means! 'Move quickly' doesn't mean "Ramp it Up"!
13 mins

disagree  Tony M: I can only echo what Taña says: this does not mean the same thing as what we hear in the video.

disagree  Lydia De Jorge: All of the above.

disagree  Yvonne Gallagher: no, not what's said and not another way of saying it.

He tells them that he is/was a veterinarian and Robin says that vets are not real doctors, with all the other members agreeing, then Dr. Military says that he took 10 years to earn his veterinarian degree and that it's harder to get into vet school then med school and ends the call. Cut to Cyborg driving the T-Car down a road with the others enjoying it. Raven suggests slowing down, but the others disagree.

Trivia
This episode's original name was "Vroom", and the Cartoon Network YouTube Channel still refers to this episode by that name.
This is the third Teen Titans Go! episode to premiere on a Saturday.
An early screening of this episode premiered at the series' own panel at SDCC 2019.
This two-parter was supposed to be part of Season 5, as the last two-parter of the season.
This is the twelfth half-hour special of the series. The previous ones are "Two Parter", "Operation Dude Rescue", "The Streak", "BBRAE", "Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star", "The Self-Indulgent 200th Episode Spectacular!", "Flashback", "Kabooms", "Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star: Second Greatest Team Edition", "How's this for a Special? Spaaaace" and "Girls Night In".
This episode premiered early in New Zealand.
This special features a different intro like the "Island Adventures" special and the "Super Summer Hero Camp" arc.
Unlike the two special arcs which featured a temporary new song and a differently animated intro, this two-parter has a brief narration with scenes that happened in the story itself.
This special features a slight change in animation style, mostly concerning the back grounds.
Eric J Pringle, an animation director among the crew, is featured on Chip Racerson Jr's canned potato chips' cans as a logo. It can be deemed as an intended joke on the potato chip brand Pringles.
This special released early on October 6th on demand, before airing on Cartoon Network.

Mr Pringles chips. Geddit?

Continuity
Beast Boy didn't transform into any animal in this episode.
References
Starfire mentions Donald Duck from the Disney franchise in this episode.
The Car forms for the Titans resemble the Hotwheels Cars that they’re based on.
It may also be a reference to Turbo Teen or Challenge of the Gobots.
Errors
Robin is wrong with vets not being real doctors; vets indeed play their important roles on saving animals lives as much as they can...at least for the majority, excluding Dr. Military.
Running Gags
The Titans all transforming into cars.
The phrase "Turbo Titan Go force!" being said as the Titans transform into cars.
The Titans spraying themselves with water to transform themselves back into cars.
Starfire fascinating over automobiles.
Dr. Military ranting.
Chip Racerson Jr. eating potato chips.
