I don't know if you guys noticed this, but street racing is kind of frowned upon these days. I mean, after the first Fast and Furious movie, people left the cinema in a cloud of tire smoke, but when FF7 ended, all we saw were sad faces and a few tears.
Fortunately, the action in this next clip is carried out under much safer conditions than those that resulted in Paul Walker's death. Quinta, Allison, Jordan and Kendall are four regular girls who have never experienced drag racing in their life. Seeing their reactions is priceless, like watching grandma play GTA or a cat seeing its first mirror.
Of course, we have some of the fastest exotics on the planet going head to head. We wouldn't want to film a reaction video with a VW Passat, now would we? A Ferrari 458 Italia joins Lamborghinis and the obligatory GT-R at one of the most famous landmarks in California.
The location just couldn't be better either. This is the famous viaduct bridge in San Francisco, where many Hollywood films were shot and even some press photos for cars.
Speed and girls are a combination that usually results in screaming. But the surprise here is that they want to do it again. And you thought girls only talk about makeup and clothes all the time, but here they are smack-talking each other about who is the fastest.
Meanwhile, automakers are all trying to give us downsized engines and autonomous tech, when all we need to impress the ladies is power. Clearly, the Tesla Model S P85D is the answer, being both green and insanely fast at the same time.
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.
