<br />This week"s Drag Strip features a quarter mile drag race between a 4th generation Chevrolet Camaro and a newer Ford Focus ST. The Focus ST packs a turbocharged engine with 252 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque while the Camaro has the LS1 with far more power but the Camaro weighs a bit more than the Focus. Will that weight difference be enough for the little Ford hatchback to outrun the muscle car?When the race begins, the little Ford moves first, but when the front-wheel drive hatchback bogs at the line the Camaro grabs the early lead. From there, the Focus spent the whole race trying helplessly to run down the higher powered vehicle. In the end, the Camaro got to the finish line first, running 2 miles per hour and a half second quicker in the quarter mile.Crank up your speakers and enjoy!
