It's back! The World's Greatest Drag Race returns with 10 of the world's best supercars and sports cars facing off in an epic quarter-mile sprint for glory... and ultimate bragging rights! This year's field includes all 10 contenders from Motor Trend's 2014 Best Driver's Car Powered by Mobil 1 (https://www.youtube.com/user/Official...).
We have the Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI & Volkswagen Golf GTI -- all gathered together on an abandoned airstrip at El Toro Marine Base to find out which car is the fastest. Obviously these 10 competitors display a wide range of power and performance, so why do we continue lining them up for one, over-the-top drag race?... Because We Can!

(25 posts)Thought it was gonna be about new season of drag race.....that being said I watched this on tv. Porsche of course wins and why did they put the vw in, just makes it looks slow, which it isn't and why no 458?

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S = 2.9 seconds
1972 Datsun White Zombie = 1.8 seconds
The internal combustion engine, a quaint technology that the world needs to kiss goodbye.

(68,644 posts)I don't really know what the criteria were for selection, they threw an affordable Ford in there.
More interesting to me would be to see line-ups of all EVs, or all hybrids, or affordable cars, line-ups of efficient cars, line-ups of practical cars.
Sure, fun, cars, but how this fits the general discussion SOP is lost on me, it's more of an DU Automobile Enthusiasts group OP.
I guess I just disagree with the concept that this is the Worlds Greatest Drag Race.
