Fun fact: The fuel needed to run a dragster cost about 1000$ every second that the dragster is racing.

[@semzomerdijk2440]

It runs 4 seconds thats 4,000 $

[@wisemanproductions5131]

Overall It is around 3000 per second due to the clutch and tires needing to be replaced after

[@TomGionJr]

Great review, thanks. The Challenger is indeed more interesting than I had... feared, and I actually have no complaints about the dragster, I just don't care about it. Not bad at all!

[@yomekpiecemaker8764]

same thing for me, but I find those dragster back wheels too small to be cool.

[@codywright2840]

That top fuel dragster is fantastic! I agree as well, they are insane engineering achievements

[@MackBricks]

That Dodge Challenger seems like the most effort in design. Love all the snot and brackets!

[@The_RC_Dude]

I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your reviews on the 2021 summer Speed Champions sets, I really liked how you provided the background of the cars, instead of just saying if their cool or not, and how you compared it against the real cars, detail for detail. Good work!

[@RacingBrick]

Thank you, glad you like them! :)

[@Phenox445]

I LOVE the dragster its so dope

[@huntererwin1317]

Thank you, I needed this video, keep up the good work making the awesome vids

[@xyx2188]

With all these slick spot cars with vents,it is nice to get a big muscular car once and awhile. Glad this theme is getting more diverse with the type of cars their making

[@ivvlo_]

Love your videos! Very informative! I'll buy corvetts, they're awesome!

[@doorwaytocreation917]

This was a cool set, but maybe I'll buy the set with the ford gt if I can... Edit: I can't imagine the effort the designers went through to add such small details!

[@hilliebert25]

The Elva is still my no. 1 out of this new wave, simply because I personally love the odd design and the LEGO version captures that perfectly. However, after seeing this review, I think my favorite of these in terms of its build is definitely the Challenger. I'm an expert at building complex shapes with legal SNOT techniques and that thing is a real piece of art beneath the simple-looking shell. I can't imagine how much time the designer must've taken to come up with all those crazy upside-down and sideways connections, it's so good! I also like the Ford GT, just wish it had slightly more accurate details at the rear. I shouldn't be complaining about it though, the car already looks marvellous as-is.

[@sofullcole]

I can’t wait to get this set! One of my dream cars is that 1970 challenger in purple!

[@lukefritz4058]

I love this set a lot, the Challenger looks amazing and a fun building exp

[@damianvandegeer]

I do like the fact that the challengers hood scoop has that small gap below it

[@madhukumaradula914]

Thanks for keeping this video 👍

[@Regan_Tatham]

I bought the set and love it the challenger has some amazing build techniques and the dragster looks absolutely amazing with just some bigger wheels and a wheelie bar the tiny modifications make huge differences

[@stressbrick7041]

So cool! I am planning to get this set along with the ford one!

[@tomchester3229]

I love lego price politics. 49 bucks in US, in Poland freaking 60 dollars at least.

[@chrislegobricks3452]

Very informative. Thank you

[@willfairhall9685]

I like the elva, the bronco, and the stingray or challenger the most

[@ASHE_ATTACC]

I personally love the 1970s Dodge Challenger. I always love it when LEGO released SC sets with old cars, like the Stingray or Challenger.

[@rickhockersmith2976]

I got this set in Aug. at a nice toy store in Saranac Lake, NY, and had a wonderful fall day at our nearby cabin building their cars. I have been an NHRA fan from the 1990s and have two of the older LEGO dragsters of this scale [Blue and white 8847-1 and the Red Fury] and this one adds nicely to the group! But I agree with you that larger tires on the rear would be better!

[@konradkrys7723]

So guys, your top3 of this wave is...? Mine is: 1. Ford GT 2. McLaren Elva 3. Koeingseneneneneng Jesko

[@D.M.358]

1° Corvette stingray 68 2° Dodge Challenger 3° Corvette c8 R

[@randomamericansoldier8586]

Ah yes, the Koeingseneneneneng

[@legorobloxian9862]

I'll go with the set numbers. So my top three are: 1.76902 2.76904 3.76903

[@jayschmahl9206]

Awesome video and great looking car's. I have a 1971 Challenger convertible and 2009 Challenger RT, so I have a sentimental attachment to Mopar's. I love them. I hope we see a 'Cuda or Barracuda from Lego someday.

[@i_am_lsg]

Thanks! God video

[@mikie75blue]

Mega bloks in 2002 and again in 2005 made decent dragster sets. Lego took a while to make an accurate dragster but dammit if they didnt nail it besides the rear tires and wheelie bar. 1/24 model dragster slicks work tho. And a slight modification with a couple studs on bottom and an old ball hitch piece make a great wheelie bar tho!

[@tarboss4]

Oh boy I want this set

[@rollingbricks]

Great vid! Can't wait to build my alternates from this beauties and upload to my channel.

[@rawlegoshortvideos4919]

😺Awesome and beautiful set 👌 The Challenger TA looks so good. And the other vehicle is unique and original. Don´t like the decals part, but the rest of the details are well recreated. Jang also criticized the size of the tires and he, as you, are right. Well, what can we do... If I get the set, I will just customize it. Easy peacey. Thanks for the review 👍 Which car is favorite ? All of them ! Speed Champions are the best 😜🚓🏎🏎

[@benzomanic2972]

Is wish they would have printed a pistol grip shifter. That was such a unique aspect of the 70 on Mopars.

I'm trying to figure out basically a 1-wheeled version of this with dragon head, wings, maybe a tail, and firing missiles. But for the life of me I can't figure out the bottom part of the cockpit design to add that cockpit piece like I want to.

[@stopmotionstuds8531]

This looks cool but I would rather buy the set with the Ford bronco and gt

Same

[@joeroth1124]

this set is awesome, but i feel like a hellcat redeye or a viper acr would be sick as hell. dragster still cool though

[@Tech______]

The challenger gave me an idea of how to build the tail lights of a custom Lamborghini gallardo

[@brickhead_07]

I need this Set. This ist the only Speed Champions of this year I really like. But I have to swap the rear wheels. They are too small. The Challenger Looks also awesome! I ❤️ Plum Crazy!

Oddly enough, this set isn’t appearing in the European regions on Lego store (the others are already there “coming soon”)

[@moditorplayz]

lets goo

[@Besrethen]

I'm not really keen to speed champions series, but I think things may change with this set 🤔😁

[@McKrushi]

My (way) younger self would have bought all of them and played the sh.. out of those models. It's like Burnout or NFS from Lego :X

[@ripperman25]

I was on the fence for this one, but learning the dragster is all stickers? yeah, dont need this in my collection.

[@thebrickskingpodcast]

Now I see what Chris was taking about with the unique design of the dragster when the were in the early design stages. Very cool stuff my friend.

[@RacingBrick]

Definitely my favorite SC build this year :)

[@vinkniv]

Would be nice if the injection on 6x6 plate would fit a stud hole on the back of those plates.

[@JustTheRat01]

the challenger technicly is now a sleeper(looks abit eh from the outside but under the hood its a good car)

Absolutely fantastic set I got this set for £33 from 50£ . About £17 discount fab not complaining

[@switcher_7678]

50 quid!? Where were you shopping?

[@kylelarsonfan5761]

So do you have to replace the lego motor after every pass like real life lol

[@Ukk3l1]

I love the fact that the driver is female. I'm pretty sure that this set has been inspired by Leah Pritchett.

[@Regan_Tatham]

Wow what a highlight the best part of the set for sure🤣

[@kclowney97]

I would have definitely preferred a Ram TRX, Durango, charger widebody, Jeep trackhawk, Gladiator, Wrangler, or Viper, but oh well. But I understand that dodge is all about drag racing and probably pushed the Dragster, also a Ram or Jeep would definitely not sit well with ford launching the Bronco. But a modern charger or an old charger Daytona would probably be a great alternative.

[@SovereignKnight74]

I have to have this set. Mopar or No Car!

[@shvetalakhanpal3197]

I bought this in December last year.

[@hotwheelsmi1292]

The 6x6 is a rare piece I only have 2 in my whole collection

[@CoolKid-kz1fc]

In my opinion the rear tires are too small for a dragster

[@mercuryforlife969]

im bying this set when it come out XD and since i live in norway it wont be out of stock

[@aaronvector4750]

3:08 it's actually 1320ft for a ¼mile (and the dragstrip only takes the trap speed at 1244ft I believe) but I'm really happy for the effort since it's not a european thing. That said, to me, the challenger looks more like a plymouth baracuda than a challenger to me... it just looks like it has a little meat on it's bones as opposed to the slender look of the challenger. Overall tho, it's a really good set. I however will not be buying it.

[@rickhockersmith2976]

The NHRA has cut the race distance for its Top Fuel and Funny Car classes to 1000 feet--320 feet short of a quarter-mile--as a safety measure in the wake of the death of racer Scott Kalitta. The shorter race distance takes effect with the Mopar Mile-High Nationals in Denver on July 11-13, 2008

[@Void_s]

Actually, Challnger and Baracuda are pretty the same and have only slight differences like 4/2 headlights, front fenders with/without air vents and rear panel...

[@aaronvector4750]

@@rickhockersmith2976 thanks for the correction

[@NagaTen]

I understand what you mean about the rear wheels, but do remember, they expand A LOT while running on the real car

[@RacingBrick]

That's a fair point thanks for bringing up! I checked a lot of photos of dragsters and proportionally the tires still seem to be bigger, even when they stand still :)

[@manerscount123]

I know you may not see this comment, but after watching your corvette review as well as this, I want to point you to Mould King's 2023 set 27035, which is also a corvette stingray. Granted it isn't perfect but it uses a lot of the techniques you mention here and in the corvette video, as well as having better representation of the car's actual form factor - IE the back wheel arches as well as the slightly less blocky windshield. I'm not sure if you plan on branching out to non-lego speed champions or other cars, but Mould King is a serious competitor in the market, both in terms of pricing and quality, so I would recommend you at least take a look.

[@RacingBrick]

Not sure if you know, but Mould King is one of the brands well known for stealing MOC designs (custom creations by fans) and turning them into sets without the any compensation or notification, so I won't cover them for sure.

Why are the wheels soo small

[@Angry_Squirrel555]

I love how the photo of the source material for the dragster purposely blocks the view of the rear tires so you can’t see how out of proportion the model is. 😂 It’s so incredibly oversized. I really want the Challenger, it’s just too bad it’s not a single car set.

[@RacingBrick]

The dragster is totally proportional compared to the Challenger, exactly the right length

[@jt248]

Hopefully we get some licensed NASCAR sets next

[@JesseGT]

do you mean actual teams or just nascar cars in general? if not actual teams, there already is one
