The 2012 Fastest Street Car in America! - HOT ROD Unlimited Episode 19
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2012
- This episode of HOT ROD Unlimited screams with action from 200-mph street cars at one of the most grueling events in all of motorsports: HOT ROD Drag Week, presented by Gear Vendors. This is the most brutal test anywhere of real drag-racing, street-driven cars, as the competitors hit the road for 1,400 miles to race five times at four different drag strips in five days in a battle to post the lowest average elapsed time at the end of the week. The winner is crowned the HOT ROD Fastest Street Car in America. In this video, we'll follow the chase for that title in Drag Week's most outrageous class, called Unlimited. Imagine cars that run 7 seconds in the quarter mile, in excess of 200 mph, and then drive on public roads-in the rain, over potholes, whatever it takes-to make it to the next race day to do it again. Five times. Ever see a 2,800-horsepower car hauling its own trailer full of tools and parts? You will here. When you wonder how the staff of HOT ROD could ever make the statement that a Lamborghini Aventador "isn't $400,000 fast," this video will prove why with legit American street cars in a battle of speed and survival.
HOT ROD Unlimited appears every other Friday on the new Motor Trend channel. / motortrend

I'M a veteran 1/4 mile jockey from the late 60s. These boys have redefined the term. "Fast!!" For me. These numbers are mind boggling. Jeeeeeeezus!!!
great stuff ! been a while since i have had a chance to watch something like this and let me tell ya it gives me goose bumps to be able to watch this. i just love this stuff and have hot rod mags dating back to the the 70's. love motortrend and want to thank you for posting so many quality videos that just make me feel like i 'm a kid again back at the racetrack racing again. thank you so much. SR
i have waited for weeks for this video, and it was worth the wait!! this is the best automotive showdown ever. now lets see some of the other classes!
Larry is one bad man. Gotta love Jeff's car also.
Sorry guys. The 5500hp is definitely a typo. The '57 Chevy is actually 2500hp.
This is by far the best car guy video on youtube
All of your videos are just great!
This is dedication! Hats off to everyone who participated! I wish I had had the resources to just tag along..........Props to the guys from Hot Rod magazine for putting this all together. Just think, they get PAID for having way too much fun! Thanks, guys..................Art
Waited the whole day for this.
thanks guys for posting videos and keeping us updated keep it up love the videos
really enjoy this video guys, top job.
This was awesome!!!
Awesome flick......thanks for sharing
REALLY want to see the next roadkill now! I've been waiting so long!
I'm more of a track guy than a street guy, but you still have to respect these guys! This takes balls!
Great video. Very impressed with the HOT ROD
Great show, you guys never fail
This just might be the best show on the Motortrend channel.. Thumbs Up Guys..
Enjoyed that. Thanks.
Well made short film, really enjoyed it.
Awesome video!
Awesome Hot Rod Drag Week Week 4 Action Drag Races Day 4 Action
I've never cared for drag racing, but this video was awesome...thanks guys.
Why doesn t such great videos like this going into cinema. That was awesome!
📣🎞Good clips guys very much enjoyed it - alot dont see the work behind the scenes its for the love of it all (Y) why its just done 🏎
Awesome episode!
What a great video !
Cool video! Thanks!
I normally am not in to drag racing, but you guys made that very interesting!
Another great vid
GR8 show! Thanks guys
"i had a small visit with a sheriff. what did he say? he walked up, looked in the car "well, at least i didn't have to chase you down." what did he pull you over for? what do you think he pulled me over for!" LMAO XD
Man that was neat watching how Larry Larson & Jeff lutz fight for 1at place. Thanks!
Two incredible racers who built and maintained two of the baadest cars to ever go down the dragstrip. Hope today's future racers learn and have the class that these gentlemen have. They are both winners. Thanks guys.
Not my kind of racing but I can definitely admire the dedication and passion of these racers. Kudos to them.
Awesome video
That's a funny looking kitchen, haha!
Jefff and Larry are doing it right. Full steel body is the right way.
Man, these cars are crazy! I went to one of the Mopar Nationals competitions, and saw a funny car run a 6.6, and when the guy finally came on the throttle full, you could FEEL the sound of the engine. And these are street legal cars, running high 6's! Respect for these guys, definitely.
I love Larry's comment about the sheriff. I was following him for about 30 miles before I lost him at a light... just before he got pulled over. Needless to say, the whole time I was following him on two lane blacktop thru Texas, we rarely dipped below 85! Yep, he is the fastest both on and off the track! :)
Cool video!
I'm not really a drag racing fan, but that was AWESOME!!!
amazing video. amazing cars and driving
Classics never die no matter if they are Muscle cars or imports.
Another Amazing video guys. I would love to do drag week
Damn, this was awesome. Hope to be apart of this next year....
I'm always amazed that these '60's era body style bricks can go this fast. Very cool!!
no comments, wth, glad you guys did this little clip. Drag week has always been such a cool idea to me and im glad to see its still going strong. Keep it up guys, and oh yeah where's the next road kill?????
No problem. Thank you for the fact checking!
I would love to own a 7 second street car. Very nice
'How much horsepower are you pushing?' 'Oh, around 5,500.' 'Thats pretty respectable. I'm running 250. Turbocharged, of course.'
That was badass
i love this video
Wow! That was awesome.
Those launches rock !
Great Show "
It's incredible that you can actually drive these cars on the road. 7 second street cars... insane.
10:34 lmfao that was awesome
The second it said 5500HP I shit myself.... and then the thingy came up
Thanks for clearing that up awesome vid though!
Best part of all this competition is driving down the road :D
Congrats Larry, I can't wait to make to next year's shoot out from Alaska!
Two lane black top.All over again.Right on!!
dont let the accents fool you, these guys are car geniuses
Love to see well built cars. They are rare these days
Jeff Lutz's 57 Chevy is just superb.
The Nova's last launch was amazing
Its not something I would personally do. But interesting to watch. Good vid
Superb video guys. Would love to do something like that here in the UK. Maybe we could see what Andy Frost and Red Victor III could pull. :-)
Damn that was some good racing
All Right, this is actually what you call real Roadkill Nitrous Oxide Street and Drag Racing Track Race and Drag Racing Car Action
VERY impressive, considering that they drive from track to track too!
This is for My Buddy Steve!!! Cheers Man
Larson to me seems like abit of a gentleman's racer, very understated. Lutz looks and sounds like his ready for a reality tv series
Agree fully about Larry, but you don't know much about Jeff if that's what you believe.
+Tunechi Lee Just the way he goes on about a few things. But yes, I know very little about Jeff.
+MrLincoln87 If you haven't, check out episode 16 of roadkill. Jeff is all over that episode and maybe you can get a better feel of who he is.
Tunechi Lee -you probably already know this by now but Lutz is one of the top racers on "street oulaws"
I clicked 'like' before the video even started. Shit's that awesome.
to see two tri-five chevy's running next to each other was pretty awesome.
1:31
5500 hp LOL. xD
Typos ftw!
1:31 I was like wtf? How haven't you become the champion with 5,500 hp lol
Like many sports, once you understand the finer points, one can appreciate the finer points. From the outside, drag racing looks "easy"... but up at the pointy end of the sport, these guys have so much knowledge, and to get one of those cars down to the end in one piece, with a good time, is not easy... it was a great vid, good to promote drag racing.
Man oh man those Big Blocks are something..
I almost spat my cola all over the screen when I saw 5,500HP, then I saw the correction just in time.. haha
" ran a disappointing 7.07 " in a street car with a license plate, that is why people love this !!!!
great story .. great experience i would think ;)
A true car fanatic doesn't compare vehicles who have different purposes, but appreciates them in their own right. The veyron was built to beat the top speed record for a road going production vehicle. The cars in this video were hand built through countless man hours to live by the 1/4 mile. Both are eaqully as amazing.
This is fun
bummer for the nova sweet ride still though! lots of power
also gotta love the 56 and 57 chevs so serious power in both
best competition on the world, but i dont think it is a good thing to have those old promods on this game. Thanks for this amazing video
GM pushrod power baby!! Pat Musi makes some unbelievable power plants.
Epic
Man it has got to be wicked awesome to drive a 2500 horse power car on the road talk about the ultimate vacation for a gear head. That would be my dream vacation.
just one word to say wow
Well said.
Thanks Brah
ITS OVER 9000!!
Nice
5500hp?! lol put some wings on that!
Going on this trip is on my bucket-list. Just as a spectator to see these cars in person. Building cars that can do the 1400 miles AND run like this seems almost impossible.
"I have a ridiculously expensive UGR TT Gallardo, I can take any car on the road"
"Yeah, I have a 3219hp 1969 Camaro, good look with that"
you guys should talk to SPEED channel and try to turn this into a TV show somehow. Something like PINKS All Out but instead of just showing races show the traveling part too, and focus on all the classes instead of one. That'd be pretty cool I think. Awesome video!!
