Its a drag car vs a street car... kinda hard to NOT know what happens.

Watch the video again. The Dodge is FWD. Mid burn out you can see the front spinning and the smoke coming from them.

what makes you say its a drag car? I dont see a roll cage, nor a wheelie bar, or anything that makes it look like a drag car. maybe im just blind but it looks like a regular street car to me

Oh so you think it ran a 10second time with the stock 1000cc motor huh? Nice dreams, can I get some of that you're smoking?

Its most likely got a turbo FWD nissan motor or one of the bigger Turbo FWD Dodge motors or something in it... and to be able to put down the amount of power it would take to move it that fast would require a drag racing suspension setup if its really FWD. Running a 10 second time with a FWD isnt exactly easy.... traction becomes a SERIOUS problem when you start dipping into the 12s unless you remedy it with a dedicated suspension setup.

Do you honestly think just a regular K-car suspension can do that?

Marco's Supra didnt look like a drag car either by your logic. Windows were tinted and it only had different rims on it. Ran 8.65 at 160+ on low boost.... its still a drag car.
