Drift vs Drag Battle! ’66 Big Block Nova vs 950hp Corvette // THIS vs THAT

We’re coming in with another round of drift versus drag, since we’re convinced that modern drift cars are more or less drag cars built to go sideways. Matt Field’s C6 has the advantage in power to weight, but how much of an influence does that have on a ’66 Nova that’s able to put down every single one of its 800+ big-block horses?
