Question Which One to you want or dream about ?

Motor Trend Stages 'World's Greatest Drag Race'


$2 million worth of supercars on an airstrip; there can be only one winner.


By Joshua Condon Sep 12, 2011 10:54AM
Every once in awhile we feature a cool drag-race video here. Some are straight, head-to-head competitions among peers; some are more outlandish, in the vein of the "hawk versus tiger" videos your weird cousin sends you.

This one is both outlandish and straight competition: 11 amazing performance machines and supercars pitted against one another in a straight-shot, quarter-mile drag race as put together by Motor Trend. Why did they put it together? Because they can.

Oh, right -- also because it was part of the magazine's(Click~> test to find the best driver's car from model year 2011. Check out the competitors, below, with the video and drag-race winner -- as well as best driver's car winner, since they're not one and the same -- posted after the jump.

Nissan GT-R: 530 horsepower, 448 lb-ft of torque

Ferrari 458 Italia: 557 horsepower, 398 lb-ft of torque

Audi R8 GT: 560 horsepower, 398 lb-ft of torque

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: 563 horsepower, 479 lb-ft of torque

Lexus LFA: 552 horsepower, 354 lb-ft of torque

Chevrolet Corvette Z06/Z07: 505 horsepower, 470 lb-ft of torque

Porsche 911 GT3 RS: 450 horsepower, 317 lb-ft of torque

Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca: 444 horsepower, 380 lb-ft of torque

Porsche Cayman R: 330 horsepower, 273 lb-ft of torque

BMW 1 Series M: 335 horsepower, 369 lb-ft of torque with overboost included

Lotus Evora S: 345 horsepower, 295 lb-ft of torque

Very cool, I seen a jet powered dodge truck at an air show about 10 years ago. They ran it on a runway about 200 yards from the spectators. It was sweet.

This reminds me of the old Revell Monogram model kit "S' Cool Bus". I never built one. Maybe wished I had.

I was impressed with the Boss 302 how close behind the other much lighter and much more powerful cars it was. I was also dissapointed with the M1 which is a secret love of mine.

Love the jet powered school bus.

But Space, rule #589 says you can't alter JJ's logo like that.

Yes Lou, but J.J. drove 2 slow & it took 4ever to get to where we wanted to be ~> You always drive with the pedal to the metal & it's more fun when U R driving...OK, I violated another rule & I'll put myself in Time Out & give everyone a break : )

I do like that Jet Powered School `Bus I've never rode a school bus, but I'd love to ride in that one 4-Sure
