[@speedandsoundmagazine]

Thanks for watching the current list of top 10 TURBO cars in SA. Apologies for the 11000hp 😂 - but we hope you enjoyed the video? We’ll be bringing alot more similar content soon. Stay safe and thanks for the amazing support ✌️❤️

[@kaveerramlall913]

did the K Honda use nitrous ?

[@TheCARnivalWorldwide]

Never apologise good sir! Eleventy thousand seven hundredty thousand hundred and two horse powers it is! Kudos.

[@kwikbug]

For the VW guys, check out the drag cars (vw) in Brazil. N/a runs 8.2 and a basically stock block 2.0 16v in a chevette (ascona) runs 6's...

[@dewaldswart2076]

Remember these cars are running these times at 5500ft altitude......

[@GnarshredProductions]

Cool to see all these VW's set up for drag. Im in the United States and the FWD drag racing is dominated by honda's almost nobody is building Golf's or Jetta's to make big power or go drag racing. All these video's from South Africa make me want to sell my turbo civic and build a 1.8t swap mk1 or mk2 golf as these cars are very cheap and unloved over here lol.

[@spandel100]

Surely 1100 HP...not 11000 guys....

[@zallas_99]

That's what I was thinking 😂

[@warrencarrington7993]

Yeah no ways 11000 HP hahaha.

[@gurshangusflowthomas8561]

Just a silly mistake guyz..look at the good in it💪

[@jdeejay4050]

Man my jms corsa is 111 000hp😂😂😂😂lol jokes i have Steven from JMS old corsa B the green one at that stage she was 507kw at 1.8bar.... now after I converted to solid lifter setup with supertech Valves spring and retainers she is making on a bad day 570kw and over 600kw on 1.5 bar. on a good day.... I am prepping her..should see me at the Rock in the next few weeks to start collecting data. Looki.g forward to meetimg everyone soon ....❤🚗

[@speedandsoundmagazine]

Yup, sorry man! Friday babalaas…apologies

[@alastairjanssens3238]

Remarkable for front wheel drive cars

[@mattheweckhart6679]

11000 HP @9.2 bar boost

[@brandonfredericks1988]

Im sceptical that this small engine made the power of a top fuel dragster. im assuming it was 1100hp

[@barendknoetze]

11 000hp... Mother! 😅

[@KhanyisoMapuma]

1100. Not thousand lol

[@padaopel]

The gtrs, supras, nothing ever got us as excited for racing as taking that kaddet out. Lot of good memories watching this video.

[@speedandsoundmagazine]

True story

[@the2jznoshit828]

Zurich did 9.40s na also nassen got a fwd top fuel motor in there 11k hp lol

[@kaveerramlall913]

Lovely content ! so good memories

[@speedandsoundmagazine]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ca9968]

I`d love to see an episode like this about the cars and times set at Gerotek... The day that George Anagnos smashed 266kmph in that Superboss turbo was something else all together to watch!

[@speedandsoundmagazine]

That would be awesome. Problem lies with finding proper footage from 20yrs ago.

[@kriekscheepers1967]

Please share more information like this. Rwd and dragster. Thanks. Legendary.

[@gurshangusflowthomas8561]

This made me cry nd have chills at the sametime

[@antoniegroenewald8826]

Was hoping that there would be a special mention of Jaco Liebenberg who was as I have it one of the first vw frontwheel drives in his scirocco to break the 10s. Even crashed it after the record. He was one of the 3 Amigos in the very early SnS days. Believe the other two amigos were Paul and Alex. Those were the days😊

[@riaannel2766]

RIP Jaco, he was truly a good guy. Knew him since the early 90's when he was still driving a 1600 Manta. He also built me a killer 16v box for my Golf.

[@fedorthebear7470]

The golden age of SA drag racing 2000 - 2010

[@antoniegroenewald8826]

@riaannel2766 I remember the manta. My brother worked in a workshop next to the gearbox place where he used to work. When he experimented with the green 2 door golf on the SnS cover, my uncle told me he would bring his head in on a Monday morning and pick it up on Friday payday. Then repeat again on Monday until he got it sorted.

[@speedandsoundmagazine]

This segment is about the current cars on the List. Will revisit the Golf guys in future.

[@dalesmit7869]

Jirre Batty, you went to go fetch the archives this time hey. The real question is, will Tarlton go back into full swing with bigger events than the current "2 o'clock Saturday afternoon R300 all you can fit in go test your long term lease car"? I hope so, those events were the days! Thanks for the trip down memory lane, keep 'em coming!

[@speedandsoundmagazine]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jb3704]

Good times in old times! It is very impressive (also very hard) to break into anything below 10's with the low air pressure and dry air on the inland racing venue's. All in all, it's very impressive! It is too bad that there ain't anymore proper racing being done. All the good places closed down. Rainbow drag strip, the old Nigel dices after Koos Hannekom died there.... "dragwars" in Brakpan.... Wesbank raceway...

[@speedandsoundmagazine]

Those days were awesome!

[@mbuiselozenzile2111]

Any updates on whats happening at tarleton???

[@jonathanthiel8690]

Love this, keep em coming guys!

[@speedandsoundmagazine]

Thank you ✌️

[@azharabrahams7694]

Shaun Zurich runs 9s, N/A

[@fedorthebear7470]

Bra most of these times were 15+ years ago. The guys these days import crate motors and still can't touch them

[@TheCARnivalWorldwide]

[@mbusonzimande7717]

And this ladies and gentlemen proves that as accessible VW's are, they're just not enough to set mind-bending speed records.

[@jonathanfurno9004]

I don't agree at all!!😮

[@carlojurgens3630]

Watch Boba engineering's golf if u think vw's can't run with the best Bud Wake up brew !!! Yes they run Quatro but all vag parts in the mix......

[@the2jznoshit828]

[@dalesmit7869]

[@speedandsoundmagazine]

True story

[@tauriqmartin6870]

they say vvl is baas but here's no turbo nissan anywhere in the top 10😂

[@the2jznoshit828]

also only one k ...that dosnt make k series meh 🤣 lit's one of the most impressive fwd choices...

[@alastairdow4400]

Those wheele bars are so gay looking.

[@ChristopherChua-vv4if]

Big deal slow fwd even with wheelie bar can not get into 6 seconds or 5 seconds only usual 8 seconds deadlock that's all even rare to even go down to 7 seconds what a shame and remember fwd wheel hop and loss of traction in drag race better buy old rwd and modify it cheaper I need to burden with fwd sensitive drive train doing double job accelerating and steering fwd sucks

[@christheone248]

Front-wheel drag cars look really really stupid!

[@christheone248]

Looks a body builder skipping leg day and thats a huge no-no!
