All-Electric Half-Mile Drag Race – Lucid Air Sapphire vs. Tesla Model S Plaid

February 22nd, 2024

Less than a decade ago there were few auto enthusiasts that wanted anything to do with an electric vehicle. They were ugly, slow and rare. Today, they are among the fastest and most sought-after vehicles on the street. This half-mile drag race features two of the most capable production cars on the planet – from a performance standpoint. They just happen to be totally electric. The Lucid Air Sapphire, manufactured in the United States, is an all-wheel drive luxury sedan that just happens to run an 8.95-second quarter-mile @ 158 mph. That’s better than any Corvette, Mustang or Hellcat model. Read More

This is the day that supercars took over the airstrip. At the top of the heap is the Bugatti Chiron.

Tesla Plaid Takes on TT Lambo, Camaro ZL1 and McLaren 720S – Track Rolls

October 4th, 2021

Please excuse me for taking a minute to get over this all-electric sedan whipping everyone at the dragstrip – well, not everyone but you see what I’m saying. A pair of Plaid sedans are featured in this clip. Neither have undergone any form of weight reduction and both are on stock Pirelli tires. The blue Plaid draws an 800hp Camaro ZL1 for the first (roll) race. The Camaro gets the initial jump before the Tesla “swooshes” around him to take the win. The result is a top speed of 153 mph (161 mph just past the finish line) for the Read More

October 1st, 2021

The venue is the Indy Airstrip Attack 2021. Looking for some action, Kyle (1320 Video) showed up in his AMS built 1300hp Audi R8 V10 Plus. Action is precisely what Kyle found.

Both cars are powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine. AMS Performance added their Alpha 1200 twin turbo kit to Kyle’s car.

The Original BIG RED Camaro is famous for taking on almost every kind of racing imaginable. From No Prep Drag Racing to Hill Climbing, this guy has done it all in his 1967 Chevy Camaro. He’s even gone 266 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats – but let’s address the elephant on the room. Wait a minute! That ain’t no elephant. It’s a giant wing on the back of the BIG RED Camaro (biggest wing that I’ve ever seen). Get this: It’s functional too.

300WHP Ninja H2 vs. 1300HP TT Audi R8 – Half-Mile Drags

August 21st, 2021

This video documents the tale of two-wheeler versus four-wheeler in the standing half-mile. When Joe rolled into the Indy Airstrip Attack, he had no clue that he’d encounter Kyle (1320 Video) in his 1300hp Alpha built Audi R8 V10 Plus (twin turbocharged). This would afford Joe an opportunity to display the prowess of his 300whp Kawasaki H2 against some elite competition. The H2 is a beast in factory trim. Obviously, the H2 featured in this video has been modified well beyond stock. It all begins with a 998cc liquid cooled four-stroke. The inline four-cylinder engine is also supercharged. Power-to-weight ratios Read More
