Author’s Note
While we understand that YouTubers frequently employ drag races to evaluate vehicle performance, it is crucial to acknowledge that these races can have enduring impacts on cars. Everyday driving rarely entails high-acceleration straight-line bursts, and participating in drag races with personal vehicles is not advisable due to safety and mechanical concerns. We highly discourage our readers from engaging in such activities and emphasize that drag races do not accurately simulate real-world driving conditions.
