Kia Sportage Drag Races Dodge Charger on Dirt

It’s hard to find a good mix, and that’s especially true if if you’re off the paved road and hooning about on dirt. So what to cars can you drag race that are different but in some ways similar. BMW X5 and a Range Rover?
No! How about this, TFLcar.com has pitted two very unlikely heroes head to head in an unconventional drag race. On the one hand, you have a Korean SUV that has a reputation of being a best seller in America, and on the other, some American muscle you’d overlook when searching for AWD cars.

In the silver corner, we have the HEMI Dodge Charger R/T with a massive 370 hp V8 engine under the bonnet. And in the black corner, you get a family crossover - the Kia Sportage Turbo GDi that’s basically the top of the range model with 260 horsepower.
