From the good old U.S. of A. comes the Dodge Charger SRT8.

It makes 470hp from the factory and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.8-seconds. The 4,160-pound sedan can turn the quarter-mile in 13.2-seconds @ 109.4 mph. The Charger featured in this video has been modified with a high-performance camshaft, a set of exhaust headers and an E85 tune.

Representing South Korea is the Kia K900 sedan with a 5.0-liter V8 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The K900 is rated at 420hp. It can turn the quarter-mile in 13.9-seconds @ 104 mph. Despite a hefty weight of 5,622-pounds, the rear-wheel drive K900 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2-seconds. This Kia is bone stock.

Spoiler alert: It don’t look good for the Kia.
