Muscle vs Import Drag Race

[@homiixide]

am i really the only one who thinks that both muscle cars and import cars are fucking awesome?

[@Invrexs]

I love all muscles, not all American, I love tuners, not ricers. For example I love a challenger hellcat but wouldn't drive a ford, I love an evo but wouldn't drive a Honda. For real car guys it comes to taste not just where the car is from

[@eliloechel6440]

Both are cool

[@stichupman]

Both are awesome in there own ways muscle looks and sounds better and import is crazy power from small engines and good reliability

[@247hotrod2]

KLichts i do

[@jackcarroll702]

No

[@beefcake3131]

All of the debating about American vs import and which is better is so stupid. There are bad ass American cars and their are bad ass imports. On any given day with the right car and driver they can both beat each other in a race. Anybody who appreciates motor sports should just see a bad ass car for what it is, not where it was made.

[@charlesshieler4463]

beefcake3131 i grew up on american muscle im from the south lands i own a dodge and i also own a supra. im glad to see that someone understands racing, and the fact that its not the ride its the rider

[@beefcake3131]

Ernie Brown I hear ya, but that shit goes both ways. I used to be one of the guys all about American cars who ripped on the domestics and then I grew up and realized that some of those Japanese cars are mean.

[@beefcake3131]

Bearlodge I completely agree there. I hate most of the riced out civics you see out there. Although I will admit every once in a while they are seriously fast. Search youtube for "just a little 4 cylinder"....its a naturally aspirated civic with very few mods that eats V8 cars.

( I'm an american muscle guy ) ...I think we Am guys and Tuner guys should join together instead of hating each other ....we should target our badassness in the direction of the Super Cars !!! We should show them a tuned Rx7 play with a Ferrari ....or 1969 dodge charger can have a porches face ...let's join and beat the supercars !!!! Not each other ...

[@krocialblack]

As much as I like to see import and muscle car guys finally call it truths and come together, you and I both know it's never going to happen. Those damned egos will keep whispering in our minds. Just like there's always going to be racist bigots spreading hatred threw out world, there's always going to be tension between muscle car guys and import guys. Always... That's just a really hard pill we all just have to learn to accept and just swallow.

these fucking import vs muscle wars are stupid as shit. I myself prefer muscle, but shit if any import can get down the track quick, then i have respect for it. I hate when muscle elitists talk shit about "ricers" and how they have no power, and I also hate when import elitists talk shit that american cars can only go straight. (please remember we're comparing 40 year old technology here as well) Can't we all just get fucking along? It's a never ending battle if you have money.

[@ronaldlingashi5533]

Thank you its seriously the stupidest argument id prefer an import but my respect for muscle is the same its like arguing between play station and xbox or apple vs android they both have there own benifits and defects but both give you the the same adrenaline rush and fun

[@krocialblack]

*+Grumpy* Don't know why we must fight amongst each other. When we should be focusing all of our venom on our *TRUE* enemies! These punk ass fart cannon, lambo door, Pepboys sticker having ricer kids, and these Hybrid car driving, Starbucks slurping yuppies!

Varun Rao NO they are over complicated engineering blunders. Good engineers get the job done with simplicity, budgeting, and performance. The bad ones make everything complex, unreliable, ugly, and expensive. now tell me Which of those descriptions applies to muscle cars and which applies to hybrids?

[@lex3579]

Funny thing is I went to Japan over the summer and you do not see civics with fart cans on them or any front wheel drive for that matter , what you see is mainly rear wheel drive Nissans like Skylines and GTRs and they laugh when you show them photos of U.S. Ricers . Also you can do what ever you want to civics and cars like it but at the end of the day you still have a civic

[@orest395]

skylines gtrs are all wheel drive the gts model is rear wheel drive

[@michaelemanuele5285]

American Muscle all the way man.

[@JackAssJuniorX0]

I don't understand why people can't respect every type of car. Yes, muscle cars put down the best 1/4 time, tuners put down the best track times. It's two completely different goals. If your a true car enthusiast you respect all types of cars for what they are. A Bentley Continental may not get the best 1/4 time or track time, but it's goal is luxury. The new Mazda skyactiv engines may not be the quickest off the line but it's a 40+ mpg naturally aspirated engine. It's all about how you look at it.

[@kirillsushko782]

you can truly judge if you had both. if you are talking smack and never experienced anything else but what you drive, then you are showing nothing more than lack of experience. and if you do chose one thing, it doesn't make everyone else wrong.. and to clarify which handles better, consider that nascar, f1, gp2, indy car and everything else has rwd. that is because it is the fastest way to take a corner. no formula one car has awd or fwd. obviously...front and all wheel drive is best in snow,dirt, or wet conditions (best for rally). rwd IS the quickest way to get around a bend on dry tarmac. its physics.

Sure your car may have better handling, better acceleration, better performance. But there's something about good old american muscle that you gotta love... Its you and the car. No tuning, no handling assist, no computers. Nothing but a good old fashioned wooden steering wheel to separate you and that 450+HP v8. Nothing but RAW power, that just makes someone feel alive. Because let's face it, everyone knows its the size that counts ;)

Don't get me wrong , their are some very fast imports out there. However, most of them require 30 - 40 lbs of boost in order to achieve great times. Come on people, you can put that much boost on a lawn mower and run good.

[@Tigersann]

But how much money you have to throw at them for them to haul ass that way, and how long will your motor live? LOL

[@stoneislandkirkcaldy]

Straight line acceleration does not make a drivers' car. Most of these muscle cars would end up wrapped around a tree or at the bottom of a ditch in a European rally situation.

[@drflkh16]

The matchups weren't very even. You have to take into account the fact that most of the "imports" are four cylinders whereas the definition of a muscle car is an 8 cylinder american sports car. This isn't a biased thing I'm just stating the facts so please don't get butthurt with the replies.

***** I suppose, I always hear of a modded Nissan Skyline (just using as example) that beats a Ferrari but they compare it to the lowest performing stock car. So of course an upgraded import can beat it, but the muscle can keep up with its STOCK engine. However I think they both have their pros and cons.

I agree, if you're a car guy then you are a CAR guy. Not an import lover or muscle, you should have respect for all vehicles for wat they are and the work someone put into their project to make it do Wat it does. Import beat muscle and muscle beat imports ANYTHING can be fast with modifications, sometimes heavy mods, so speed doesn't always make a car better than another. Wat makes the best car is watever fits YOU not anybody else. My grandmother would hate to have one of these 10sec beasts to drive around everyday, shes good with her big luxury car and loves it. But I'm not saying there shouldn't be any rivalry or u shouldn't have a favorite cuz it would be no fun. I'm a muscle head and have two camaros but all my boys have imports, A wrx, a ralliart, and 350z. Drove all of them and they are all fun in their own ways.

It's the money issue to the company to ship classic American cars to European countries.

[@m0terhead]

it so obvious that very few of the people that post on here have any real experience with both classes of cars. and even fewer people have actually been to a dragstrip... I've owned a Buick GN, a 68 mustang, an Evo 8, two turbo 240sx's, a 350z, and a 1930 Ford coupe that I actually drag raced and ran consistent 12's with. Imports and domestic cars can be equally awesome. The stupid fan boy and brand loyalty crap really limits you. Variety is the spice of life people. (although I will say, if you ever wanna see real ground pounding drag racing, go to the Yellowbullet nationals. You won't see a 4 cylinder car anywhere. After all the BSing low end torque still rules at the dragstrip.)

[@resseret1688]

Muscle cars are brilliant drag cars and they sound amazing. But once you take them onto the track against imports it's game over.

[@BenjaminRavenstone]

I am not hating on imports (I am a really big fan of Acura NSX and Supras) but I do think one big advantage that muscle cars have is their large engine bay. Now I am not saying it's impossible to work on small cars like Supras, Acuras, or Hondas because a lot of people do it. But I just think it would be easier to work on a car with a larger engine bay cause you can fit bigger turbos on it and things like that. Which is why everyone takes Fox Body Mustangs/Camaros to turn into drag cars. Just sayin. I think imports and muscle have their advantages and disadvantages.

[@V4_Therapy]

Before I say this I would like to tell you my father grew up driving muscle cars so I grew up liking them... You cant compare these cars. One genre is for drag and the other is for track. European and Asian cars were tested on tracks. Muscle cars had american roads... There is no way half of these muscle cars can beat a european/ asian car on a track. Apples to oranges my friends. Great video though, and great cars.

[@Kuson2]

Those huge American V8 engines make massive amount's of Torque, so of course they can scoot down the strip damn fast. Nearly every import there had small Flat 4 engines that don't make nearly as much torque so it's no real surprise that they are a little slower on average for straight line racing. Im also seeing some huge racing slicks on the backs of most of those muscle cars and all that rubber on the track makes those cars hook up really well. Imports can and do beat Muscle cars on the strip, but I do admit it's less often. Watch this for example: /watch?v=IBkSjnY1S6s Just because Muscle dominates the drag strip doesn't make import cars crap. And no im not an import elitist or anything like that, I love all types of cars, I'm not a narrow minded fool like some of you.

[@rafaeldiegonavarro]

It actually all depends on weight and power. Its not about torque. Motorcycles don't have torque at all and they go super fast. Take a physics course buddy.

[@ebilnerd]

Rafa Navarro Uhm, motorcycles do have torque...And torque is power. The more torque you have, the faster your flywheel can spin your transmission into gear and thus propel your vehicle forward. I think if anyone needs a class on anything, it's you.

[@IVEMER]

[@TheWierdFish]

tom neve Torque is not good performance cars. It just spins the wheels to no effect. Torque is good for moving loads. Performance cars don't weigh that much, or rather, shouldn't, so there's no point. Power is what shifts you quickly. Your definition of 'shitty' is 'makes a low torque figure'. My definition of shitty is defined by how the engine revs, how it delivers power, how well it uses the capacity it has, how it feels to drive, how easy it is to use the power produced, and how good it sounds. Big American V8s fall at the 'shit' end of every single one of those categories. A little 2 litre Honda Vtec unit, like the one in the S2000, ticks all the right boxes. Exciting, smooth delivery, excellent use of available capacity, feels great, lays the power out nicely and it makes a hell of a sound. A big American V8 works well in a big truck. Not in a sports car... Oh, except wait, a 6 cylinder diesel suits big trucks much better than any V8. Oops.

[@XxThatMOPARDudexX]

hahahajhahahahahahahahaha rofl mate you need a reality check if you think a sr20 is better than any v8, torque is one of the most important things in drag and roll races as it gets the wheels moving, say your are rolling at 30mph and there are two identical cars except the torque the one with more torque will be quicker as it will get the wheels spinning faster, easier. the sr20 engine does deliver its power equally but it also doesnt have that much hp as the engine cant have high hp numbers and be reliable. V8s are the best sounding engines, a sr20 isnt it sounds like a hair-dryer. the v8 will produce its power before the sr20 will as it will torque out and produce its hp between 3000 and 5000 rpm then you can shift and be back in the power band the sr20 has to wait untill about 6000rpm to produce less power then the v8. oh and if v8 diesels are bad the why can dodge rams with the 6.7 cummins turbo diesel beat a r35 v spec in a 1/4 mile drag with minor upgrades

[@beefcake3131]

Foxtrot Oscar While I agree with a lot of what you said in that American made v8's aren't nearly as advanced as a lot of other motors. Hell the motor in my CBR600 is probably more advanced than anything the big US companies put out. But certain motors are better for certain things. V8s are undoubtedly the best drag motors. I understand that there are seriously fast 4 and 6 cylinder cars, but their is a reason that the fastest drag cars in the world which are top fuel cars use V8's. Also, any type of engine built performance can make a beautiful sound.

[@TheWierdFish]

beefcake3131 V8s do work well for drag racing... Well, crossplanes. The intermittent power delivery caused by the very design flaw I detest, gives the rear tyres a moment of respite to catch up and regain grip. All faster than a human can detect, but the tyres like it. Some high-powered motorcycles use a crossplane 4 cylinder engine for the same reason. However, drag racing is a fairly useless and boring 'sport', so the V8 isn't all that great in the real world. The reason top fuel cars use V8s is because the rules dictate they must use a certain 8 litre V8. Any engine can make a good noise. However, large crossplane V8s just don't. Small ones, where the imbalances are small and barely noticeable, and that are light enough to rev properly, _can_ sound ok. Triumph's 3 litre V8 is a nice enough engine, as are the TVR V8s. Still not as good as your common or garden 6 pot though, or even most 4 pots with a half decent exhaust.

[@ep82guy21]

lol ight its time too chill

[@nubserver]

oakleyfan98 yeah lol i found that out after i posted my comment lmao

[@jared062398]

Haha it happens to me too

[@waydej87]

To all of the people trying to justify why the muscle cars were faster and saying oh "1500 hp supra", first it's called a muscle car for a reason. And a 1500hp supra would drag a car of equal ability not a stock corvette stop trying to justify your slow ass cars :) 8 is more then 4 or 6 means more horsepower and torque simple math

[@corndogbatter]

God what an idiotic remark.

[@DanielRicany]

1500 hp supras still can't keep up with muscle. There are 5 second foxbody mustangs.

[@fruitydudexD]

Personally I like both muscle and import. They both have amazing pluses. And I think well built muscle and import cars sound fucking sexy.

[@chrisanderson1635]

modded american cars vs stock imported cars? and all these people are talking shit about japanese cars below lmao the fuck?

[@brianx2504]

DO I hear a baby crying around 0:34? Who the fuck brings a baby to a drag strip that is obnoxiously loud.

[@jvracingvids6529]

i dont see the problem here, start em off young son

[@oneradride]

Love fart cans.. ALL that’s noise and nothing happens.

[@orest395]

that only happends when people buy cheap exhausts and think there fast

[@orest395]

real tuners acually go fast and not just loud

[@PaPWPW]

orest kendzora For every clean civic/import in general, there's 200 slow ricers with loud mouths and even louder fartpipes

[@orest395]

true but u gotta understand that its not the cars its the retards that dont know how to properly modify civics, thats y they sound like that

[@PaPWPW]

orest kendzora Ya I agree there are definitely some good civics around, but being affordable cars, there's always gonna be teens owning them and doing stupid stuff to them

[@AlphaJDM]

I love how most of the imports were damn near stock

[@Froggyman145]

I love how literally every single person in the comments is ignoring a key factor in these drag races: Most of the time, one of the cars starts nearly a whole second before the other does.

[@AocXieZ]

4 cyclinder inline engine vs 8 cyclinder V engine. But still not much different. This video prove that the japanese cars with so small engine and less cyclinder are amazing compitition. I LOVE muscle and import. But i hate uneducation with low IQ racist.

[@ndk5907]

Face on evo not on the drag but on a rally race Ur muscle is gonna spin out lol Race on a longer track U will run out of gas before u hit the finish Imports bro

[@MarcCastroo]

U mad or nah???

[@worldchamps271]

***** You're such a tool.

[@MarcCastroo]

Justin V loool im over exaggerating a lil bit but I prefer muscle cars thats jus my opinion

[@worldchamps271]

***** And all I'm saying is that the Japanese Domestic Market (and Volkswagen as you mentioned) isn't all shit. America has had some shitbox cars, just like every automobile producer in the world. But trust me imports can sure as hell compete with muscle.

[@MarcCastroo]

Justin V hell no they cant loool only import that can keeep up is the supra n skyline the rest are pure garbage lool

[@ricky20621]

American cars are like the american football. Only Americans believe is good. Ja Ja Ja. A true fast car is fast in straight and curved, not only in straight like the muscle cars.

[@dankbro420]

This is the second video on this channel where the ricers looked like they just learned to shift before going on the starting. Practice practice practice you can't magically become a good driver and your car doesn't do all the work you do too.

[@PlatinumNath]

like, most muscles are come-from-behind cars. meanwhile Nissan, Subaru, and other of what you all call import (which I consider local) are designed as a lead-to-finish cars. (idk how Subaru made their cars gain more torque at later gears meanwhile others loses torque and power over time). in case, it's straight unfair if you try to compare a 305hp Impreza to a 520hp Charger R/T. UNLESS, if you compare Nissan GT-R Premium to Aston Martin Vanquish, it's a different story.

[@radiumm652]

I think imports are better for these following reasons.. Firstly imports don't race in a straight line. Secondly muscles getting headstart, thirdly muscles have the drag tires and imports don't, fourthly muscles are tuned and the imports are stock. Let the r34 or GTR come wreck them, no hate muscles are cool.

[@Invrexs]

So you're saying you know exactly what's under the hood of these cars, what if they don't need slicks because they're awd?

[@radiumm652]

Yes I do know what's under these cars.. its clear and completely obvious mostly all the imports don't have drag tires and turbos..

[@jackcarroll702]

So your saying 427 -305 vs ceiling fan 😐 . . . . . .😂😂

[@caseythefalcon81]

Also, muscle rules the Nurburgring as well. They're better all around. Idiot.

[@joshhowe8995]

You do know how drag races work right it's the first off the line they get the go at the same time no one gets a head start

[@Chibanator97]

Put some good drivers in the tuners, tuners FTW

[@FelixPfaltermann]

Japanese ricer cars make me laugh. The following is shrinking more and more everyday. Fortunately, people are realizing American and European cars are so much better for performance. Why dump 10-20k in a car to make it perform like a 5.0, SS or SRT out the box? LOL.

[@orest395]

because like muscle cars come with alot of power from the fatory, tuners come with alot of handling from the factory

[@orest395]

sometimes u dont need alot of power to go fast and have fun

[@orest395]

i doubt that as much as i agree that muscle cars have come a long way in handling, they still fall behind compared to tuners, the only way if they were to surpass tuners is if they made muscle cars all wheel drive

[@FelixPfaltermann]

There is only really one import made (Nissan GT-R) that can compare with American Muscle cars. A stock Corvette beat a stock GT-R around a road course. Crazy, huh? RWD is better than AWD when driving around a track. That is why M3s are RWD, as are most other sports cars. It's sad Japanese cars aren't really good performers anymore. Remember when the Maxima was at the top of the heap? Now they are completely forgotten about. Civics are pretty much dead as are pretty much all Acuras.

[@orest395]

stock on stock, depends wat tuner and wat muscle car, and the new gtr is ok i prefer the skyline r34

[@177SCmaro]

How could you possibly know what's stock and what's modified under the hood by watching a video?

[@175myles]

Best comparison ever! Barely modified imports compared to cars built mainly to go in a straight line.

[@bos6875]

Gotta say it is quite funny when import fanboys always put a muffler on their car to make it seem so fast. Lol get real. I can get a muscle car and make it loud without putting any junk, fart sounding muffler on it.

[@AlphaJDM]

what, sorry a little confused what do you mean?

[@duckels1]

i love how the station wagon got the best time

[@CodSnipingProd]

Why would they race heavily modified muscle against stock import?

[@erniebrown4235]

that what happens when you bring a knife to a gun fight... people talk shit about how they can beat muscle cars; so they will find out the hard way Get owned Bitches :)

[@CodSnipingProd]

How would know if those guys were talking shit? Those were mostly stock imports vs modified muscle cars...

[@aricherring]

All these muscle cars tuned out like hell going against stock imports... lets see how a stock muscle car would go against a 1000HP Supra.

[@175myles]

Not sure where you got that info from, I've been is a Supercharged 454 Chevelle that barely broke into 11 sec quarters.

[@masterchiefsunday9876]

This maybe irrelevant to my original comment but I've eat'n plenty of 4.6 mustangs.... In a 94 ford ranger with a 3.0 weather you think that's false or not it's true, but to answer you're question to name a few I've beat plenty of srt8 cars, a new 5.0 mustang, a 40th ann. Corvette (lt1) and countless lt1 camaros/ 5.0 stangs, this is no lie and yes it is possible for those cars to be faster. Doesn't mean the owners of those cars knew how to drive them dick

[@danielegan7901]

when you flick through the comments and realise hardly any of these guys race and have a seriously limited knowledge of how much actually goes into making a car fast. Its more than bhp and displacement.. i mean come on!! we're here because we love cars right. why the fuss?? For the record drives a 04 blobeye, tuned wrx dream car is a 67 gto. gotta appreciate the work that goes in to making all these wonderful machines

[@yd4rkrendery378]

This race is not Just,The import cars is a stock,The muscle cars is a modified...

[@SavageTilley]

Depends if modded or not they make some SICK suspensions for Camaros and Mustangs now.

[@ozzyayres1]

yeah they are awesome well anyway good talking to you dude hope you get to drive one soon

[@tbego122]

Rice eaters against muscle? 4 bangers that sound like a 1950 sewing machine with a ridiculous fart can on a single exhaust? These rice-banging ricer junkers are an embarrassment. I have a modified 68 Camaro and the other day at a stop light I pulled up alongside some kind of import ricer junk. The driver was crouched down in his seat so low that I didn't think there was anyone driving.

[@TheCamarodude96]

Muscle cars were actually really popular back in the 70's for street racing, theres a movie based off of it too, called Two Lane Blacktop.

[@SanDiegoKid]

i have this crazy radical idea that might just work. how about all of you fanboys just respect other peoples taste in cars? at the end of the day were all in fast vehicles and we all put a lot of work into them. i understand a little friendly competition but yall are just senselessly arguing with another person that will not change there views no matter what you say or do.

[@goatman3054]

So...... Imports. Lol

[@wjh3207]

so much emotion about this. comeon they both have upsides and downsides.

[@diamondfrieza8443]

OMFG the camaro at the beginning gave that car a head start AND STILL WON JEEZUS

[@caseylockwood5512]

I completely agree with you. There is a reason they dont make them like they used to though. One of the biggies is eficiency. Back then the sheet metal used was much thicker, making the car heavier. Seriously, you lay on it in one of these muscles in the vid, you can literally watch the gas needle sink. While driving a 4-banger FWD may not be fun, you can make them to be decently fast and maintain their eficiency. Fun DD cars, which is what most people use a car for anyways...

[@WinSDFina]

Are those guys too slow to react when its light to go, or they been given to each different starting light?

[@ManiquienEater]

Even though the reaction times are better for some of the imports, some of them were quite stock compared to the muscle cars, or just really shity imports like civics, or Mazda wagons (WTF?). However racing down drags, and turning left in a circle are both not real racing. The real racing is driving on a track with twists and turns to go around at awesome speeds, while facing multiple opponents. REAL racing is F1. To add, imports are meant to be economical and cheaper then a customized 50,000 dollar car modified from 20 years ago :)

[@JuergenGDB]

It takes a heavily modified import to beat a stock domestic lets face it. If it were not for AWD on Evos and Subaboobs.. absolutely no chance.. you can modify until your hearts content.. you race what you brung.. however stock for stock.. you cant beat displacement.... or its really hard to.

[@dualCranKy]

I.... just get confused as hell by the dashboard with the et's. Did the civic have actually a pretty fast 12 sec compared to the other 15 secs and stuff?

[@175myles]

The dodge viper has standard parts stripped out of it, racing suspension and all the other jazz. Meaning it is a race ready car. It is barely a car you would want to drive on the road. Compared to a street car that you can sit in for hours on end in traffic and not get uncomfortable.

[@seeroy1986]

how are they not imports? mazdaspeed 3, evo, wrx's, bmw, civics etc? what would you like to call them

[@EvoPower2010]

I think that Suspension is for cornering, in drag racing it might depend on car height,as i think.

[@EvoPower2010]

I mean yes it does takes roles in Drag Racing,but modified Engine/Transmission depend on the car more, than the suspension.

[@AKASpartex]

im noy rly big into drags but why do a lot of them let one of the people pulls ahead a couple car lengths before they even go? showing off? slow reaction?
