Watch this Record Breaking 3.6s 1/8 mile Run [VIDEO]


This Camaro dragster belonging to the Q80 Racing Team is powered by a Pro Line Racing 481X engine fitted with two Precision turbochargers. This beast managed to do a quarter mile time of 5.86s but the more impressive part is how it demolishes the first half of the distance (1/8 mile) in just 3.86 seconds at 206.42 mph (332 km/h) which makes it the fastest turbo doorslammer.

Nissan GT-R Dragster [VIDEO]


We have seen all sorts of Nissan GT-R race cars, from GT racers, to drift cars and time attack cars. Now we have the chance to discover this GT-R dragster. Of course lying under the fiber glass made GT-R body, we have a totally different car with a totally different chassis. But at least this dragster kep the original power plant from the GT-R that was modified to reach 1,500 Hp. The result is a car can reach 100 Km/H (62 mph) in 1.78 seconds with a quarter mile time of 8.23 seconds at 173 mph (278 km/h). So what next? I suggest a GT-R based hill climb race car!

Toyota DragQuoia: A Sequoia based Family Dragster


The DragQuoia is a "family" dragster based on the Toyota Sequoia model. This dragster is powered by a supercharged Toyota V8 developing 650 Hp prepared by the Japanese automaker's in house tuner TRD. Interestingly, the family dragster kept a rather conventional looking interior. The DragQuoia took part at the 2012 SEMA Show in a competition against NASCAR driver Kyle Busch's "Rowdy" edition Camry, Clint Bowyer's Tekked-Out Prius and NHRA Funny Car driver Alexis DeJoria's Tundra pickup truck converted into a beastly desert pre-runner. The winning driver's charity of choice will receive a $50k check from Toyota. More pictuers of the beast in the gallery below.
