Brutal Engine Explosion During 1/4 Mile

By John Coyle

StreetFire is filled with drag racing clips where things blow up, catch on fire or otherwise fail spectacularly. But when this engine grenades, it takes most of the front clip with it. The severity of the explosion makes me want to see the twisted mess that’s under the hood, even though it’s the kind of thing that’ll give any gearhead nightmares.

You realize that 730 kph is still 453 mph…right? Nice looking fury btw…

The camera guy focused on the wrong car – I want to see the beast with the trap speed of 730 mph! OK, maybe it’s just kph but still impressive.
