This episode of HOT ROD Unlimited screams with action from 200-mph street cars at one of the most grueling events in all of motorsports: HOT ROD Drag Week, presented by Gear Vendors. This is the most brutal test anywhere of real drag-racing, street-driven cars, as the competitors hit the road for 1400 miles to race five times at four different drag strips in five days in a battle to post the lowest average elapsed time at the end of the week. The winner is crowned the HOT ROD Fastest Street Car in America. In this video, we’ll follow the chase for that title in Drag Week’s most outrageous class, called Unlimited. Imagine cars that run 7 seconds in the quarter mile, in excess of 200 mph, and then drive on public roads—in the rain, over potholes, whatever it takes—to make it to the next race day to do it again. Five times. Ever see a 2800-horsepower car hauling its own trailer full of tools and parts? You will here. When you wonder how the staff of HOT ROD could ever make the statement that a Lamborghini Aventador “isn’t 0000 fast,” this video will prove why with legit American street cars in a battle of speed and survival. HOT ROD Unlimited appears every other Friday on the new Motor Trend channel. www.youtube.com Subscribe now to make sure you’re in on all the action! www.youtube.com Facebook – facebook.com & facebook.com Twitter – twitter.com Google+ – plus.google.com Website – www.motortrend.com & http
Bitchez type in worlds fastest v8 5 seconed
Jeff Lutz 57 Bel air with 5500 horsepower? Son of a bitch! How the hell is that even possible?
If the special olympian is faster than anyone I’ve ever met, he’s a badass. If the honda is faster than any car I’ve ever driven, it’s a badass. If my v8, carbed, old school american car is slow as hell (it kinda is), it’s not a badass.
Pretty simple
Point made, happy New Year!!!
GM engines are the way to go, but I’m not talking about for Top Fuel. I’m talking about for us on the street!
Im not bragging on hemi’s, YOU said that gm powerplants were the way to go, when the fact, (like hemis or not), is that not a single gm style designed motor, is used in top fuel cars, thats all I’m saying. I prefer gm to mopar any day of the week. as to the NEW hemi’s. you are correct.
Whip dee doo… They use Hemi heads. Why brag about something like that that they don’t even implement in their new cars/trucks that supposedly have a “Hemi” lol.
L0L. A country of wimps? haha ha… pick up a decent history book for the first time in your life and read about what we’ve done for the world you daft prick. You wouldn’t be able to type that comment if it weren’t for Britain. Go and find a world map – put your finger on the UK and repeat to yourself “This country ruled 2/3rds of the world for hundreds of years.” Grow up mate?
why is it then, (and I do not own a mopar) , that the fastest top fuel drag cars in the world, for the last 40 years, have used motors based off of a mopar engine? Just saying!
youll never see an r34 run with these cars, not that it is not a great car, but, no matter what you say, you are NOT going to make a 3.8 litre motor, that will run like these, and be capable of being driven thousands of miles, aint gonna happen, discussion over.
Your from the U.K and insult where I am from. A whole country of wimps, who if it were not for the U.S, would have LONG ago been wiped off the face of the earth. Hahahahha!!!!!! Good bye sir….
crawl back into the swamp pit your family comes from you feeble minded peon. You probably actually do live in a trailer park – you’re from fucking baton rouge lol. I’ve never been there (thank god I think you would say – you’re probably a homophobic racist who slots ethnic minorities on the weekend after all) and even I know its one of the worlds biggest shit holes. I probably drive a better car than you and I’m 21 lol. Go rail your sister and please don’t have kids.
Awesome video!
junk
Awesome video
Get it right fag boy….. BALD not balding, the only doucjebag you know, is your dad. At the end of the day, you are still sitting at your moms computer, being an internet tough guy. Don’t worry son, you will grow up one day, and may be able to afford more than a 1994 civic , and a shit box mobile home.I doubt it though, can take the dipshit out the trailer park, but cant take the trailer park out of the dipshit.
So in your case you may have 7 thumbs on your comment, but at the end the day you’re still a balding douchebag who can only count to ten if hes barefoot or wearing sandals?
Canary Islands
@MetricPowersports that’s bullshit and if you can turn your not going fast enough!!!
Congratulations to the winner for the 5th time.
