you can really tell how modern cars launch and stabilize better than old ones, even sometimes losing in terms of raw power. The little red car could probably race a tesla if it had better stability controls. it was slipping and the tesla just launches like a magnet on rails. impressive.
I love the essence of the 'home-made Frankenstein type build' vs 'the sleek produced models.' Even the second race is so cool looking before it even starts: shiny professional batmobile, obviously going to be monstrous... but in the other lane the car doesn't even have a hood. The rims don't match. It's ugly, but it's pure business. I don't know much about cars but you just know that if it's THAT ugly then it's probably sacrificing everything else to just be as fast as possible. Awesome.
I like how this video showed the flops of the builds too instead of just the builds spanking the bought cars like every other video of this nature. Driver skill is a very important factor in drag racing and a few of the pulls were the built vehicles lost the race were due to the bought driver achieving a better launch and shifting gears faster. Raw power is useless if you don't know how to use it!

@@andyholstein237 I think it's more about the time and "expertise" it takes to build these cars. If you're rich enough then anyone can just go and buy a hellcat. But just because you have some cash doesn't mean you can mod a shitbox to beat factory made cars like those.

Thing is, bought is made by hundreds of experts. Built is done by a few hands and most of the time these cars are not reliable or can't be daily driven. The dream is having the money to own both. 👌🏼
you could say that but one is made in large quantities made for road use in factories and assembly lines where they try cutting corners on cost and one is modified to push the most amount of power, and all the civics are 20-30 years old with the engine they came with obviously modified, those can be daily'd. the new cars are just pavement princesses that only last because they're rarely used and sit in garages, they're still impressive but for one to compare and even be faster is really impressive
The "built" cars are made by hundreds of experts too. It's not like these people are forging their own engine parts from slabs of metal. They're assembling store-bought parts together.
You see, the difference is that bought usually compromise on the power over a little bit (or a lot) of comfort. Built on the other hand would rather strap an aerodyne rocket engine to the back than add interior lining. :)
A 4 link with the anti-squat adjusted properly does wonders for traction. Weight is no much a problem no a days with the right suspension mods. He had that truck dialed in and shot out of the hole like a rocket.

I've built my 78 Pontiac Phoenix, and currently building a 76 vw bug,turbo stroker efi, it wasn't over night took years and thousands of dollars, I can tell you it's cheaper to finance, not everyone has thousands in savings for parts..that said 10 plus years ago I financed my srt6 crossfire for 320 a month and my wife's mustang gt for 310 a month..projects are fun and I love working on my own cars just hate the wait time, saving $ for parts I need..
I didn’t know the c7 vette could put up the same time as a hellcat. Goes to show that the badge doesn’t mean everything on a vehicle. Man Chevy never fails to impress
Built or bought. Many of those who build put the performance in what they build. Can't underestimate one's determination to get the best out of what they put their effort into.
each car has its own time target... it doesnt really matter whether its built or bought... its the enjoyment of going mach chicken in ur sketchy 800 pound truck
As someone who's growing increasingly annoyed by the "Mopar status" in his area, it was so satisfying seeing that old school Chevy pickup straight up dust that Hellcat.
I enjoyed it because it gave the driver's a chance to see where their class of car vehicle was compared to a older younger model so that they can make different modifications
Man that flat face box truck was sweet! Looks like a Star Wars Return of the Jedi Scout Walker. That truck needs a big ass Box on the back with 20 18" subwoofers.
I love how a lot of those non drag-focused stock road-going production cars keep up very closely with those heavily modified drag cars and actually win
Always on the side of BUILT! Something amazing about old classic metal being modified to do something high performance. If I was super rich I'd have bought, and built stuff. Tesla is simply awesome, yet so clinical it borders on too sensible. Not as much soul. Would still like one, just it doesn't have that lumpy cam V8 excitement. Good on that FWD doing so great. Lovely video..Cheers from England 👍🍺🇬🇧
@Jose Alberto Rosa-Suliveres I'm guessing you are being sarcastic. Not sure those little cars are pushing out that amount,but even if they are the driver sure did his job. They also don't have line lock, launch control and drag mode to help them along.
@Jose Alberto Rosa-Suliveres i think they would need a larger engine bay and if they had the money for the motor and parts to put out that amount of horsepower they wouldn’t be using a civic
I am 64, I have been drag racing since age 17, when I put a 283 in my dad's six cylinder 1963 Nova SS. It did have black wheels to begin with, factory steelies. 14" in the rear and 13" in the front. Not counting that one, I have had 7 race cars, 5 of those were street legal. ALL of them were carbureted. I built every single one of them. That's half the fun. My current, and likely last one is a 1982 Chevy S-10 2 door short bed with a 383/Powerglide. It runs in the low twelves. There is very little left of the original truck but the body. I built almost everything but the transmission and rear axle. I have zero respect for someone who shows up at the track with some fancy new computer on huge black wheels and no tires. It is fun to watch them blow up though, and I've seen that happen quite a few times. That guy wearing a helmet in the silver BMW convertible looked ridiculous. I expected it to at least be in the fifteens, it was in the mid sixteens. He really needed a helmet for that. Oh, and battery powered DEFINITELY doesn't count. I watch a lot of videos from Southeast Gassers Association. I always wanted to build a gasser, but never did.
I was wondering where is the dodge demon. But then i remembered that it was banned from drag racing bc it has no rolecage ...damm such a powerful car man....
Gotta love some good races. Btw, the song playing in the second race is Green Eyed Lady by Sugarloaf. If you listen very closely or just have good headphones/speakers: you can hear the distinct bass line.
Regardless of how fast bought is *ALWAYS* better than built because you are purchasing a machine that had a big, billion dollar company that invested significant funds in tech, reasearch and development. Modified cars will be more work, function less reliably under a smaller set of circumstances, break more often and last far less long requiring far more time/money along the way to keep running. They are usually the domain of people with a lot of resources they don't know how else to dispose of.
The definition of a true car guy is someone that knows the ins and outs of their car, took something from nothing and built it to his image and is going to continue to do the same thing with any car he comes across.

you could say that but one is made in large quantities made for road use in factories and assembly lines where they try cutting corners on cost and one is modified to push the most amount of power, and all the civics are 20-30 years old with the engine they came with obviously modified, those can be daily'd. the new cars are just pavement princesses that only last because they're rarely used and sit in garages, they're still impressive but for one to compare and even be faster is really impressive
Uh, no. Had an 11 sec daily 1 and only car. Knew guys with some that would blow me away
The "built" cars are made by hundreds of experts too. It's not like these people are forging their own engine parts from slabs of metal. They're assembling store-bought parts together.
Holy smokes that cab over is a beast
Holy SMOKES is right XD
You see, the difference is that bought usually compromise on the power over a little bit (or a lot) of comfort.
Built on the other hand would rather strap an aerodyne rocket engine to the back than add interior lining. :)
As a proud Shelby GT500 owner I was really impressed with how the new Shelby GT500 ran in this race. Great video!
no one cares what you bought
@Plasmaburn You're right, I'm not. I'm just a mechanic. Bought or built, I'm the guy that fixes what these rich people break on the weekends.

@Monterrey Jack I know that's gotta piss you off
That first race shocked me REAL good! I didn’t think he had enough weight on the ass end of that truck to jump out the like he did! DAYUM!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💪🏽😂🤣
Tbh u ain’t gon be pullin no bitches in a lil tow truck, but u gon be getting all of em in a hellcat like that.
A 4 link with the anti-squat adjusted properly does wonders for traction. Weight is no much a problem no a days with the right suspension mods. He had that truck dialed in and shot out of the hole like a rocket.

Hellcat is one heck of a failed design though, what good is all the power if you can’t get it on the road?
Old school Muscle!! Heads turn more for a mint 65 mustang, or 68 Camaro, or 69 Chevelle, or a Cuda. In my opinion
Is "turning heads" more important than winning then ?
Classic muscle cars are always a treat to see. Yeah yeah yeah I get it you're rich and cool with your McClaren, Lambo or Ferrari but I really enjoy seeing the classics roll by more
4:24 Red Honda Civic definitely double clutched
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time.
Yeah! I agree with you sir.If you want to be successful have the mindset of the rich, spend less and invest More. Don't give up your dreams.

Built and bought are great, I kinda prefer bought because of warranty😁
@Oldskol Acura well it's under warranty and if it blows because of it being a pos they have to fix it or just talk to my lawyer. As long as I haven't touched the engine in any kind of way
@Oldskol Acura most warranty’s are complete bumper to bumper & some, like Ford & Dodge, sell warranty compatible performance parts. They don’t usually perform as well, and can cost more, but you still retain your warranty. I’d rather build a car, but he’s got a point. The luxury of getting new engines & transmissions whenever you need them does sound nice.
However the mods void the warranty and built doesn’t have a car payment.
@@ZENIGMATV yeah I would rather do bought till warranty runs out or extend the warranty if need be. Built is cool but then there's always the what ifs a simple tune could be wrong and mess the whole car up
I've built my 78 Pontiac Phoenix, and currently building a 76 vw bug,turbo stroker efi, it wasn't over night took years and thousands of dollars, I can tell you it's cheaper to finance, not everyone has thousands in savings for parts..that said 10 plus years ago I financed my srt6 crossfire for 320 a month and my wife's mustang gt for 310 a month..projects are fun and I love working on my own cars just hate the wait time, saving $ for parts I need..
Great job filming and showing all the E.T.'s!
4:26 that was just savage 😂
So everyones gonna ignore the black semi truck at 2:44 that had a false start by like 2 seconds
What's wrong with that?
@@BlackNightJack it's a false start which means it's not a true quarter mile time

10:39 probably the one that caught me the most off guard!
its so fast
I didn’t know the c7 vette could put up the same time as a hellcat. Goes to show that the badge doesn’t mean everything on a vehicle. Man Chevy never fails to impress
Probably a z06 then.

If you're running 13's in a hellcat, you need to practice more, that's just sad.
Hell yeah. I agree
If I remember correctly, doesn't a hellcat get 10 second times?
@@dvshooligan868 Hellcat Redeye's can go 10's. This guy went 10.00's on just a tire and wheel setup (non widebody).
He probably had the 6speed manual and really missed a gear. I can run 13s in my Scat Pack.
They are racing in high altitude it's 1 sec less then sea level so he's prob running low 12s which isn't bad if you never raced before
Or buy a bike & run 8s .
Built or bought. Many of those who build put the performance in what they build. Can't underestimate one's determination to get the best out of what they put their effort into.
each car has its own time target... it doesnt really matter whether its built or bought... its the enjoyment of going mach chicken in ur sketchy 800 pound truck
That semi was like "I can't beat him with speed, I'll just blind him with a lot of smoke"
the corvette's launch was so perfect
10:49 wasn't expecting that!
Thats hudson hornet right there 🤷♂️
That vintage 1940s Chevy AK’s acceleration is insane in the first race
As someone who's growing increasingly annoyed by the "Mopar status" in his area, it was so satisfying seeing that old school Chevy pickup straight up dust that Hellcat.
Yes it was nice to watch and I knew the Chevy was going to win. Old school cars still have the respect they deserve!
Yeah a heavily modified Chevy beat a stock hellcat with a drags, congrats
@@Goofyxix "Winning is winning." Did Dom Toretto not teach you anything?
Mopar or no car bro
@@GAMBLOR Right, because why not get the exact same car thats parked at every other house in your neighborhood.
That bmw driver must have been texting his girl 😂
Love the RUclips videos
The Zr1 Corvette at the start can go wayyy faster than it did.
I enjoyed it because it gave the driver's a chance to see where their class of car vehicle was compared to a older younger model so that they can make different modifications
Man that flat face box truck was sweet! Looks like a Star Wars Return of the Jedi Scout Walker. That truck needs a big ass Box on the back with 20 18" subwoofers.
great vid 👍
All of these were bought. Fun to watch them!
The old chopped Coe is to die for. I'm in love.
Which one is that friend? Please share your info, sounds interesting.
I love how a lot of those non drag-focused stock road-going production cars keep up very closely with those heavily modified drag cars and actually win
Blue Chevy Nova won twice, but the first one had a slow start but won. Congrats to the Chevy Nova 🎉.
That Nova was impressive, I just love those things.
I think I rather have a 1970 Chevelle SS454 in black and red.
Always on the side of BUILT!
Something amazing about old classic metal being modified to do something high performance.
If I was super rich I'd have bought, and built stuff.
Tesla is simply awesome, yet so clinical it borders on too sensible. Not as much soul. Would still like one, just it doesn't have that lumpy cam V8 excitement.
Good on that FWD doing so great.
Lovely video..Cheers from England 👍🍺🇬🇧
I dont have a side here, I just appreciate the effort these drivers put in to the sport. From building to the finish line
My conclusion is it seems most owners of the Hellcats/Demons just do not have the necessary skills.
@Jose Alberto Rosa-Suliveres I'm guessing you are being sarcastic. Not sure those little cars are pushing out that amount,but even if they are the driver sure did his job. They also don't have line lock, launch control and drag mode to help them along.
@Jose Alberto Rosa-Suliveres i think they would need a larger engine bay and if they had the money for the motor and parts to put out that amount of horsepower they wouldn’t be using a civic
dodge cars are mostly for people who just want to make noise lolol
"You owe me a 10 second car"
It’s nice to see old school still can beet new technology
Bet they got new shir under the hood
Lmao if you don't think they have the latest in tech under the hood then I got some beach front property to sell you
What's the black car called in the second drag race??? looks really cool and pretty fast!
I am 64, I have been drag racing since age 17, when I put a 283 in my dad's six cylinder 1963 Nova SS. It did have black wheels to begin with, factory steelies. 14" in the rear and 13" in the front. Not counting that one, I have had 7 race cars, 5 of those were street legal. ALL of them were carbureted. I built every single one of them. That's half the fun. My current, and likely last one is a 1982 Chevy S-10 2 door short bed with a 383/Powerglide. It runs in the low twelves. There is very little left of the original truck but the body. I built almost everything but the transmission and rear axle. I have zero respect for someone who shows up at the track with some fancy new computer on huge black wheels and no tires. It is fun to watch them blow up though, and I've seen that happen quite a few times.
That guy wearing a helmet in the silver BMW convertible looked ridiculous. I expected it to at least be in the fifteens, it was in the mid sixteens. He really needed a helmet for that. Oh, and battery powered DEFINITELY doesn't count. I watch a lot of videos from Southeast Gassers Association. I always wanted to build a gasser, but never did.
That Old Chevy Truck Rod made that Mopar look STUPID SLOW 👍
I love it, the only problem with the built is you cant drive it every day vs the bought you can have fun when ever you want
Kinda depends on how ya build it.
I agree... But daily driver is fun. I had the blessings of running the jeep srt and ohhh boy we weren't always the fastest but I won some money
4:30 Vtec Kicked in yo!!
@Technologically Challenged Tech fan boy…
8:05 was even braking to reduce the embarrassment for the opponent .
Yeah I would say that is much more embarrassing
I dont care what you drive. NEVER mess with a civic with a laptop
The Nova Wagon is a dream car.

If the white Honda didn't spin so much off the line I'm sure that Honda would have won more races
As a del sol owner i was hoping the del sol would win. But i knew better. Poor del slows.😭😁🖤
RULE #1 DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT RACING A CIVIC.
good thing he wasn't racing a civic?
4:15, biggest flex ever!
I was wondering where is the dodge demon.
But then i remembered that it was banned from drag racing bc it has no rolecage ...damm such a powerful car man....
I mean you could still get a cage put in aftermarket and go hit the strip, but probably most people with a demon won't cause they'd rather flex
Gotta love some good races. Btw, the song playing in the second race is Green Eyed Lady by Sugarloaf. If you listen very closely or just have good headphones/speakers: you can hear the distinct bass line.

aight lets pull up in teh minecraft truck
Regardless of how fast bought is *ALWAYS* better than built because you are purchasing a machine that had a big, billion dollar company that invested significant funds in tech, reasearch and development. Modified cars will be more work, function less reliably under a smaller set of circumstances, break more often and last far less long requiring far more time/money along the way to keep running. They are usually the domain of people with a lot of resources they don't know how else to dispose of.
The definition of a true car guy is someone that knows the ins and outs of their car, took something from nothing and built it to his image and is going to continue to do the same thing with any car he comes across.
10:37 & 0:41 - Now *That's* a launch !
Perfection :-)
That wheel spin on the hellcat is real bruhhhh
sadly without the widebody they get some skinny tires
awesome for sliding around, not awesome for grip
That and they come with shitty street tires out the lot, some nitto nt05s street radials would make a he'll of a difference
