hi there for the second year in a row we

are back at Vandenberg Air types of race cars Base

because the fine men and women of the

United States Air Force are allowing us

to use their pristine fifteen thousand

foot long runway to stage world's

types of race cars

 drag race team

and celebrate I brought along this

Lamborghini Huracan turtle Monta a car

so powerful to the quarter-mile in less

than 11 seconds and has a top speed of

well over 200 miles an hour I want to

show you another vehicle go take it

about 16 17 seconds into the quarter

moon but it's v-max a lot higher

types of race cars

hey oh I know Alan thanks for having us

and you know I thought I was gonna

impress you by bringing a

honest-to-goodness Italian supercar with

crazy technology like this active

aerodynamic system but obviously you've

got me beat what is that

so behind you is the delta 4 heavy

rocket it's built by United Launch

Alliance they're one of our launch

service providers and we work together

here at Vandenberg Air Force Base with

our mission partners to get their

satellites into space so how quick is

this thing so this thing is looking

about Mach 10 it'll cover the entire

runway in about a second and it might be

a little bit faster on this guy right

here yeah what about like g-force so in

other words like this car can pull 1.1

G's maybe a little bit more in f1 car

four-and-a-half five g's Delta forever

we're looking at close to six or seven

G's all right let's talk to power this

guy 631 horsepower and we got a Corvette

down there 755 horsepower well Johnny we

got you beat

it says 2.2 million pounds of thrust at

liftoff so that's about 90 billion

horsepower yeah that's close hey we see

rocks every day can we check it out drag

race yeah

while we won't be hitting Mach 10 this

is shaping up to be the quickest world's

greatest drag race ever

this year's impressive lineup includes

the honda civic type-r the ford mustang

GT performance pack - howdy

a TRS wolf Aston Martin Vantage cool

Chevrolet Corvette zr1 Porsche gt2 RS

Phil clarity 720s Lamborghini Oregon

for BMW m5 outermost Alviar Quadrifoglio

Dodge Challenger r/t scat back 1320 Kia

stinger GT

since we have our first-ever SUV and

world's greatest drag race who better to

drive it then dirt everydays Fred

Williams bonus we made Fred work on a

weekend and he hates drag racing so this

what we're doing will add up all these

supercars like there's Lieberman say hi

types of race cars

there's Jethro Tull he's driving the

McLaren ok so my first ever wolves crazy

drag race

12 cause they put me evil I think he's

the best one the McLaren so what I do is

I put this thing in race mode I put it

in Drive and I wait for the director guy

to count down

[Music]

begin launch secret

[Music]

go

first ever world's greatest drag race I

don't want it

it pains me to say that Jethro won so I

won't

the McLaren 720s did all the winning

good job Woking the Lambo just gets the

jump on the Mac off the line but by 60

miles an hour's the McLaren is ahead 2.5

5 seconds versus 2.58 the Porsche is

still in the mix - just a single

hundredth behind the perf at a hundred

miles per hour it sneaks ahead the

Porsche needs just 5.5 seconds to reach

the ton three tenths ahead of the Lambo

the McLaren is quicker though 5.3

types of race cars

 to a hundred and it never lets

up

the 600 horsepower BMW m5 was only three

tenths off the 755 horsepower zr1

Martin used its teeth skin to avoid a

major embarrassment the Vantage just as

the Italian SUV by a solitary tenth of a

second next up it's the Audi tt-rs solid

launch control and a rapid shifting dual

clutch transmission proved to be too

much for drag radials and a six point

four liter Hemi the 1320 is a cool car

but needs a ton of dialing in to hit its

true potential even so the Challenger

won the pony car matchup

Makia stinger finished an honorable 11th

place finally we have the lone front

driver a honda civic type-r remember the

winning McLaren has way over twice the

horsepower of the little Honda but the

winner that McLaren jethro said it's a

rocketship and while our air force

friends might not agree it's a pretty

apt description

thus concludes world's greatest drag

race 8 well done England McLaren is the

victor 10.1 seconds in the quarter mile

thanks for watching everybody whoa whoa

Johnny hold on a second we can't go home

yet we've got 15,000 feet of runway yeah

this was built in the 70s land of space

shuttle exactly so let's have a bigger

Longer race I say let's double it like a

half mile sounds good well if we're

gonna do that I think we got to get rid

of the 1320 essence obviously it's built

for the quarter and bring in the 797

horsepower Hellcat red eye okay and if

we're gonna do that I propose we lose

the high wing Corvette all that drag

bring in the slippery low wing to top

speed so that leaves us with five

production cars that can run the quarter

mile in ten seconds I'm gonna stick in

the McLaren you stand in the Porsche no

I'm gonna switch to the Lambo because we

have our good friend special guest and

Porsche lover Randy Pope's who's driving

the gt2 RS thanks guys I finally get to

do the world's greatest drag race and

it's a long one I'm excited yeah but

let's stop again okay because we're in

the land of the free home of the brave

yeah we need a car that like bursts our

eardrums gives us cancer we need a

proper drag car

[Applause]

love it all right

wow that is wild are you doing good good

did you see yeah so we got seven

wonderful spa what you got in this thing

I got nine hundred at the tire oh that's

like eleven twelve hundred horsepower

on the wrong tires yes what's it doing

the cool to the quarter to go 930 s 940

Wow

on the half I have no idea there's only

one way to find out yes my friends

world's greatest drag race eight is

going bigger not only are we doing a

half mile but we've replaced the 1320

with the 797 horsepower Hellcat red eye

and the six cars were running now with

average 797 horsepower okay so most of

that is Finnegan's 1200 horsepower

blasphemy but the average is still 797 I

love it we're given the Z I want to do

over by swapping out the high-wing car

for the slippery low drag low wing

configuration let's not forget that

redeye the cheapest car here but the

most powerful car in the lineup that's

not likely to explode sorry Finn but

I've watched seven seasons of roadkill

pray for him and whoever he chooses to

line up next to actually scratch that we

decided to line blasphemy up as far away

from the other cars as possible better

safe than covering a burning gear oi
