World's Greatest Drag Race #3

Motor Trend does it again this year, not too much surprise with the winner, but the revving of the engines at the end is definitely worth a listen.

The Vanquish seems a bit slow for a V12.

Gah, too many angle changes. I just want to see helicopter view for the entire race so we can see the cars pull away/catch up during the run.

for perspective. it gives you a sense of just how fast these cars are.

it's like watching f1, on tv the cars look to be going fast but just how fast is really hard to tell. then you watch a comparison vid on youtube comparing an f1 to say a v8 supercar and it makes the supercar look like the focus.

No.

It's because the drag race is but one of the methods used to compare the "2013 Best Driver's Car of the Year" - see earlier thread --->http://www.revscene.net/forums/68752...ivers-car.html

the vanquish probably weighs over 4000 lbs.

also realistically i think if u have all of these cars in a race (minus the focus) you would do a half mile race top gear style. just to show what each car excels in. obviously the gtr excels on the start and handling and the others are more for top end speed.
