Well you can't discredit bought cars. Some people worked their ass off to afford an $80k car. Some guy in an office crunching numbers all day just to pay for student loans and a mortgage wants to have some weekend fun. Probably doesn't know how to build a car in his garage or have the time, but loves racing enough to go out and spend the money. That's that make him not understand your so called pride? You're saying he can't pat himself on the back for working hard to afford such a car? If that's the case with everything, build your own TV, stove, microwave, watch etc., because there's no pride in just buying them. Make your own paper towels and socks. Hell the car you got was bought, you didn't build it from scratch. Silly logic.

Really shouldn't even be in the same class for the most part.

[@jimmyboy131]

But that's not exactly correct. In many cases a built car wasn't at the level of a bought car. But the made it level up by working on it using their own intellect and hard work. The bought car, they paid a professional team to do all that for them.

[@kindsteel5]

@@jimmyboy131 Wrong, Bought Cars are meant to be…. Cars. They go on Highways at sixty miles an hour. Now certain cars like Mustangs are meant to go fast, but they’re meant mainly to drive places. A built car has one purpose. Racing. Bought cars have restrictions like trying not to go under ten miles a gallon, and trying not to break down after 50k miles.

[@jimmyboy131]

@@kindsteel5 A built car can be a race only car, but that's not what I'm thinking of. I'm thinking of a driving car that has been modified for greater performance.

In 1996, Herbie, the powerful beetle, completely outperformed a 1966 Ford Mustang. While a Mustang would finish the quarter mile in 12.4 seconds, Mr. Herbert, the super beetle, was consistently running in the mid-9 second range.

[@OssamabinKenny]

What happened to that poor civic at 3:40??

[@BenceFeher]

I’m guessing they wanted to shift into 4th but accidentally shifted into 2nd… aka a money shift ⚙️💥

[@Ben-bo1ts]

I don't get it. It's not even about Built vs Bought. All these cars are running against themselves. If you had a 20 second car, nailed the light every time and came in right on the 20 second mark. You would be the race winner, every single time. It's not about the car, it's about the driver.

[@Whoareyoucalling]

Cars that are built by the person themselves is where the saying originated from. Taking X vehicle to any performance shop with mods you bought online is no better or worse than buying a new performance vehicle off the lot at a dealer.

[@DeadNastyRust]

i hate foxbody mustangs. its a 2 door escort with a v8 lol. much rather own a costworth over a foxbody anyday.

[@scimbrelo]

excellent video.

[@andrewvavrunek]

5:40 You know you lost when your opponent has to slow down with a parachute

[@FormerGovernmentHuman]

I don’t know anything about drag racing, but why are they appearing to slightly drift halfway down the track?

[@nullvoid3990]

funny how my builds always suck but whenever i buy someone elses builds they work fine haha

[@Tovek]

Bahaha! Please, those “built” cares are only good for this. Put ‘‘em into a course that is more than 1 straight line and then see the truth. I’m not bashing them at all, just the massive misrepresentation here.

[@coryschritter5944]

First race is exactly what I rember my buddies GN launched off the boost. Felt like raw power tweaking the chassis and the rear axle trying to pass the car. One of the wildest rides I have been in on the street and I don't mean straight lines.

[@mauryeetss3561]

For a daily driver that you can also take to the drag strip, bought is better. But building one up gives you that much more pride in what you drive not to mention the money you can save for the same amount of fun

[@JimLBon]

There’s something really cool about someone making something do something it really shouldn’t be able to do. Quick fwd cars are very cool.

[@Nathan_Higgens]

its still pretty damn impressive that you can buy a vehicle off the lot that can go as fast as this, and still daily-drive it with quality of life features like AC

[@WisdomFreak100]

That looks like the same beetle Volkswagen that came out on Happy Gilmore

[@I_love_bread_and_Hungry_Jacks]

It's still impressive that a rust bucket kept up with the Challenger Demon

[@highestqualitypigiron]

When I saw the duckbill spoiler, parachute and insanely wide drag radials I knew it wasn't even gonna be close for the mustang.

[@randomwindows11user]

The Nissan GT-R completely won the Honda, good job to the driver!💥

[@cgoodwin256]

That purple notchback was beautiful.

[@Taylor_5724]

all the cars a strafing lol. in reality tho. Its shit like this that kinda makes me want to build a fucked up shit bucket

[@bblkdot]

Fun fact: 8:31, the first Porsche Cayenne from 2002 can pull about 13.3 - 13.7 seconds

[@Monkeyymodels]

8:22 Mans got whooped by a man with a running light out 😂

[@connerthatdude9369]

That second beetle was a very cool car they had on that engine
