These Cars Were Made for the 1/4 Mile

The horsepower ratings have changed and the quarter-mile times have shortened, but the spirit remains the same. Whether it's the sounds, the smells, or our inherent need for speed, drag racing and drag cars remain a constant in the automotive industry. Here are three different generations that share the common "go quick" goal.

It's tough when most manufacturers have a very limited color palette, even in the colors that are an extra cost option (Mazda)

Hold the phone.
Donald did a burnout?!

We need a video of Donald doing a burnout while singing an opera song.

[E.T.GARAGE]

Some great cars and some great colors.

[andrewaronson]

My Kudos to "Stevie". You are becoming a great commentator. It appears Donald has taught you well! I grew up in the muscle car era and can relate.

It’s called Pipeline after the huge tubular winter waves on Oahu’s north shore.

demon / D 170, red eye super stock, challenger scatpack 1320 .... most will never see the 1/4 mile or see a race trac and most where ordered fully loaded, added wt that was removed dealers ordered them loaded for the "collectors " my choice no opt car but rear seat delete or a one seat 1320

[davidjernigan]

For a vehicle with only"335" horsepower the cobra jet was extremely quick.

[davidjernigan]

The problem with the Demon 170 is the engine failures.

[davidjernigan]

Pipeline is a surf rock instrumental number. Perhaps that has something to do with the name.

[donc-m]

1/4 mile, cause the gas tank isn't bigger?😂

[pvlaan]

Pasta noodles on the front splitter doesn’t make it faster.

[ragtopdeluxezl]

A proper car would be a convertible... The Demon 170 needs a dry sump oil system...
