What We Think
These days, YouTubers frequently use drag races to compare two cars and see how well they do. But using drag races for this purpose might not be the smartest idea. Drag races can actually harm cars over time because most cars aren’t built to be driven super fast in a straight line like that. That’s why we advise not to try drag races with your own car. It’s safer and better for your car’s insides to skip these kinds of stunts. What’s more, drag races don’t show the whole picture since most people don’t drive like that in real life due to safety reasons.
