11 sec 1/4 mile School Bus

11 sec 1/4 mile School Bus
josephayal is sharing some Puerto Rico drag strip action with us and damn if we wish we didn't go to school there!

Taking the bus to school would have been SO much more enjoyable in this! Not sure about the air quality for all those delicate, child-size lungs but whatever! If you're rolling the 1/4 mile in 11 seconds, even riding around in a yellow box looks appealing.

We wish we'd rolled in the School Bus that clears the 1/4 mile in 11 seconds! But we were too busy getting beaten up at the back by some knucklehead who thought he was tough.

Looks like Tulsa has something to prove and this Wheelie-popping School Bus might be just the one to do it.

One Quarter Mile

One Quarter Mile

Another very cool upload from 151mph

Plenty of enticing sheetmetal in this well shot & editing vid. Love the music, too! It's a gathering at the local 1/4 mile, although most people seem to be hanging out in the parking lot, checking out the cars. GT2, STi, Vette, Brabus, various BMWs, plus a GSX-R doing a fast and steady wheelie down the strip. Nice ride.

Hang out at the One Quarter Mile

For an original 1/4 mile match-up, see who's faster when it's a Ford F150 SVT Lightning vs. a Corvette C5

STi & Vette: Tach & Speedo action

Two cool videos take us up close and personal with the tach and speedo as the drivers of a Suburu STi and an LS3 Corvette drop their respective hammers and race into triple digits.

Thanks vettster for the Bolt on LS3: sub 11 seconds video. We only get 11 seconds of action but see the speedo reach 120mph...and we're still only in 4th gear! Another gear and a few more mph would have been pretty sweet. What a tease!
2007 STi 0 - 135 in 19 sec.
DynaSTi shares his Subaru action with us in his 2007 STi 0 - 130 video. The tach hits redline before every gear change and the speedo needle makes a smooth climb towards 135mph. Nice!

To see how NOT to race a Vette in the 1/4 mile, watch this Viper Vs Corvette Crashes video.

For more Subaru action, check out this STi vs STi video from IL.
