What We Think
Lately, YouTubers have been increasingly enthusiastic about using drag races to gauge and compare the performance of different cars. However, it’s important to realize that relying solely on drag races for these assessments might not be the wisest approach. This concern stems from the possibility of drag races causing lasting damage to vehicles, as most cars are not built for extended, high-speed, straight-line racing. Therefore, we strongly advise against attempting drag races with your own car. In reality, most drivers avoid pushing their cars to such extreme limits, primarily due to safety considerations.
