Alan Robinson’s Chevrolet Impala wagon weighs 4,720 pounds with its 26-inch street wheels and four JL Audio subwoofers still bolted in, runs a stock-bottom-end 6.0-liter engine at just 10 psi of boost, and still posts mid-11-second quarter miles at Hot Rod’s Drag Week. Getting to the line means swapping two of those 98-pound wheels for drag radials first. It wasn’t even the car Robinson planned to bring. Watch a wagon nobody expected to be fast prove exactly the opposite.
A brand-new Dodge Demon owner heads straight to the drag strip in this Sinister Life video, running the factory supercharged Hemi on drag radials and pump gas against a Jeep Trackhawk, a six-speed manual Hellcat, and a supercharged Camaro SS. Each matchup tests a different side of the Demon’s factory-engineered dominance, from all-wheel-drive traction to raw horsepower to driver skill. Watch to see whether Dodge’s purpose-built drag weapon lives up to its record-setting reputation against three very different rivals.
This twin-turbo Ford Falcon, nicknamed the Dirty Bird, runs a stroked 449 cubic inch small-block through a pair of 88mm turbochargers to claim roughly 2,600 horsepower, all while competing on 275-millimeter drag radials at North Star Dragway. Nearly seven million viewers have watched the small-block Ford hold its own in a class often dominated by LS-swapped builds. Watch to see the run that turned this Falcon into a following of its own.
A brand-new Dodge Demon owner takes the car to the drag strip for the first time, running detuned on pump gas and drag radials against a Trackhawk, a manual Hellcat, and a modified supercharged Camaro SS.
