Red Cummins Truck Smokes a Lot, Takes on Audi S7, Honda S2000 with LSX and Tesla

Drag racing has never been so diverse. You've got the software developers turning up with Teslas that have the child seats still in place, quad-turbo diesels and people who like to keep it natural... aspirated that is.

Drag racing trucks aren't uncommon, but this is not your average SVT Raptor impersonator. It's a Doddge Ram Cummins Turbo Diesel Lifted Mega Cab 4x4, complete with all the bells and whistles. It was built to be tough as nails with the most rugged suspension and parts that can take a beating. Inside, it's got fully adjustable leather seats, a big touchscreen and heated/vented everything.

About the only thing that could make this more strange were if somebody would turn up with stereotypical Japanese and German cars. Oh look, an Audi S7 Sportback and Honda S2k!

We don't know what kind of S7 that is, but it looks like an older model with a tune. The custom quad exhaust system kind of reminds us of Project S7 from APR. We know that a stock S7 with 420 hp (early models what that much) will do the quarter-mile in 12.4 seconds, so this one probably has around 550-580 hp, as it shaves a full second off.

Honda is famous for making the VTEC screamer of an engine that revs to 9k in the S2000. However, this coupe is not stock. What gave it away, the carbon fiber roof or the custom rear? Neither, in fact, this is an old friend of our that features an LSX motor. As if that wasn't American enough, the independent rear suspension has been switched for a solid rear axle, which is better for drag racing.

Last but certainly not least, we have a race between the Cummins Mega Cab and a white Tesla Model S. That's Superman and Lex Luthor right there!

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
