CHRIS RADO 6.87 @ 197MPH

[jetman1979]

He uses a v8 tundra engine not a 4 banger. It has been souped up but still a basic v8.

[teedotnigga]

yeah so that sunfire just got raped

[killz1877]

folks, the part you came to watch is at 1:54

[altronchi]

Chris rado is the shit

[3060LIMAcompany]

just HOLY SHIT!

[dragster200696]

So from what I can see this is a comp eliminator car right?

[neurocytohemotoxic]

Why the hell does the front drive car have a wheelie bar?

[akumushikyo]

@neurocytohemotoxic to keep the weight from transferring to the rear and keeping as much traction up front.

[snarfblast14]

@neurocytohemotoxic its called a traction bar

[TheBANGproject]

Between his two Scion Tc's and his 2500 horsepower supra, Rado doesn't do subtle.

[BLACKLACDTS]

im a domestic guy but damn thats impressive.

[TaLoCc]

FWD pulls hard all the way down while that RWD push hard at the beginning but smooths out

[MegaRussell12]

@TaLoCc umm. they were racing comp eliminater. if i remember right its bracket racing for really fast cars but the average time in that class is 7.50. if you see rwd cars run 690 they usually do about 215 mph.

[HUTCHYinHD]

Nigga wut?

[xraidedlok]

stop talking shit noobs

[kj12345671]

AWD rapes FWD accel

[metalmulisha140]

whoaaaa ......

[AlvosHerall]

I remember this like it was yesterday: Auto Club Raceway at Pomona.

I was still a student at UTI and our hot rod class got sponsored to attend the event. I was on the fence when I got a call from my Air Force recruiter, so I told him to stay on the phone and started walking out of the bleachers just as Rado flew by. When we could finally hear each other, I told him the record time Chris Rado had just posted and we both shit bricks. Awesome day.

[tomuchchocolatemilk]

stock 0-60 is about 7 seconds...he just went from 0-200 in 6 seconds...wtf

[fastyz400]

Freakin awsome FWD..

[Dettengines]

the biggest thing that made this fwd go this fast in a quarter mile is the fact it has a straight axle 4 link set up, just up front.

[daveny83]

F-ing awesome!! got to respect this!

[SWATGHOSTTEAM]

CHRIS RADO You Are The Legend

[ST165SLEEPER]

Lmao yeah

[ST165SLEEPER]

Oh yeah and a 6 sec fwd was done years ago by a woman in a celica looking drag car :)

[ST165SLEEPER]

The drag car he has runs a 3rzfe built with basically everything, it is a 4 cylinder and makes less than 2000 hp, it is also a 2.8l (bored out from 2.7) and yes an enormous turbo

[Stouk618]

@ST165SLEEPER nah enormous doesn't quite cut it. More like the turbo has a car on it :)

[fasthonda]

lil faster than the ghetto glider, eh rado?

[1tuffbb6]

Is this crowd dead? wtf?

And you are on drugs if you think this car has stock sleeves, Subaru Shawn. Prolly why your dumbass drives a subaru.

[gothicfighterBG]

You know this car is about 2700 HP right? (that`s what it says on wolrd racing) And you know it has a BIG A** turbo, the likes of which is probably not seen even in a 5 ton truck... So the that explains the 4 cylinder mistery :)

[dustinclark83]

@gothicfighterBG definatly not 2700hp on a 4cyl lmao

[cucuy818]

DAM!



[czarandmaeve]

rado knows how to driveeee

[Velal07]

I can't understand people that don't like something in this case 4cyl cars but they feel like they HAVE to criticize whatever the video is about even if it was a historical event like for example this one the first fwd to run 6 seconds in the 1/4 mi. If you had told anyone that a 4cyl fwd would be running 6 sec they would laugh at you.

[iPROFITDON]

@Velal07 I've never really understood that. I would never be caught dead in a FWD car in terms of performance. But speed and times can't be denied. Of course there are RWD cars much faster with twice the weight, but wtf a FWD car just ran a 6 in the quarter. Maybe it's fear?

[ShawnSubaru]

What car/motor was used?? I must know!

[ProTuner06]

@ShawnSubaru Chris Rado only drives Scion tC's with the original 2AZ Block that comes in the car. The motor only has upgraded Rods and Pistons. Stock sleeves, cam, crank, etc :)

[ShawnSubaru]

@ProTuner06 wow yo that's insane

[SNIP3RT3CH]

lmao displace these nuts,,,,, who wants to talk shit about a 4 cylinder now? lmaoo just becuz it beat i v8 its rice now right?lmao yoo u see how he blew the doors of tha bitch LMFAAAOOO... aint gonnna lie probly like 10 million dollars in tha shit tho lol

[11BMWpower11]

the 'wheelie bar' is constantly pushing the front wheels down when the weight transfers back

[Jsimp0487]

LMFAO!!! THE V8 GOT 4-BANGERED IN THE ASS?!?!

[Jsimp0487]

LMFAO!!!! V8 GOT BUTT RAPED BY A 4 BANGER?!?!

[kevvsky]

holy fucking shit fwd 4 cylinder.... soo fast

[sushlet]

FWD is efficient wheel drive. Unless they find some magical way to severely eliminate the disadvantages of RWD, FWD is here to stay.

[varqtube]

LOLOL at all the butt hurt 4 cylinder FWD haters in here because a FWD Import smoked the V8. And with a 6.87, no less.

[SteamingObe]

Comedy?

[ballistik209]

Any domestics will get smoke highend headsup in the same class they only good for lowend torque ..garbage piece of shit

[NoMartha]

I saw a drag racer car that was attachted to a Jet engine. I was so fucking loud and fast

[SICKJ0KER]

Tell the top fuel guys you want them to make a 2.0 liter put down 10,000hp 10,000 tq

and they won't stop laughing.

[GuitarnScythes]

@SICKJ0KER tell them to make a 4-cylinder front-wheel drive car that will do 6's on the track and they say it's impossible. Why can't you just appreciate the machine? I'm a v8/v10 guy myself but I respect the 4 bangers for achieving such mind blowing performances

[SICKJ0KER]

The fastest drag cars are V8's.

I wanna see a 4 banger fwd run 4's please.

Please? Anyone?

[trugemini6382]

ppl still talk shit ..this is a 4 banger FWD still smoking that V8 RWD with a 4 times larger motor

[TylerStump1]

got walked?  lol

[clubson]

Like the weelybars on the Frondrive car! asum =D

[zipper778]

@clubson They're technically traction bars. FWD's don't do wheelies (obviously) :)

[xMrDicex]

@DragsterDude21 it was just a question i dont ride rados dick like you might

[ninjasauce32]

that isnt a time attack car. he has a fwd and awd time attack and this is the 3rd car. his drag car.

ps, how hard does that white car launch and chris still whoops him by 3 car lengths... ama-za-zing

[evo8daddy]

is this at pomona raceway in southern cali????? im pretty sure it is!!! i love this track

[Sj1bby]

Imagine that they learned me at an early age that FWD sucks... hmmm might re-think that

[170turbo]

A stark contrast between bottom end torque and top end horsepower

[hellapnoy]

THAT WAS CRAZY FAST WOWWW

[bebitoaiwa11]

wowwwwwwww 

[gusmotorsports]

When you have money and know what you are doing anything is possible.

[zunetrav4]

197 mph for that et is pretty low. Which means that thing is HOOKING out the hole, or it could've given out at the top end. Either way, that thing is bad ass

[xraidedlok]

chris radouche

[ErEfresh]

OMFG!!!!!! dude your scion is sick as fawk!!!! i wish mine was built like that lol! how much did the whole build cost?

[BaneOfFreeSpeech]

Yeah this just pretty much shoves american muscle out the window. this is like what the 10th 4 cyl car to break the 1k WHP mark and still have potential to be a super lap champ...strange how I dont ever see mustangs or camaros in super lap with imports.

[shadowbmx21]

Go imports kick those v8 asses haha :p

[Skystyk6]

Wrong wheel drive? No replacement for displacement? U fuckers would like to think so.

[elementaldrgnmstr]

I have a stupid question for anyone that knows, but does Chris use a 2AZ-FE in that car?

[srhabb]

@elementaldrgnmstr Yup, stroked to a 2.7 and a whole lot of other shit done.

[rhythmnsmoke]

@elementaldrgnmstr No, 3rz if I recall correctly.  They do use the 2az though in their 900whp FWD Time Attack tC and their 1000hp AWD Time Attack tC.

[TheBleackone]

@rhythmnsmoke

their awd is 1500 whp *sick*

[rhythmnsmoke]

@TheBleackone That one is for sure sick. They haven't quite put down 1500whp. The motor is built to withstand 1500hp, but it laid down 1007whp/890wtq. Either way....one fast ass tC.

[eeeen321]

@TheBleackone 1009 awhp is what they have so far, even at 1500 CRANK hp it would take over 1200FWHP............ they never made more than 899fwhp in their FWD TimeAttack TC, as of today (don't come back in a year talking shit when/if finally do it)

[swartzautoman]

hahahahahaha

that was awesome

theres another guy now thats gotten his TC down into the 7 sec range

[vcecko]

@ 2:04 the dude in the white is fully not giving a shit hahaha

[MauriceHickey]

that guy Rado deserves some serious respect.

[some805DDRinguy]

@MauriceHickey Chris Rado and his cars are respected by those who know of them. If you ever see the gigantic turbo on the engine, your jaw will drop. Mine did a few years ago at the LA Auto Show.

That was an insane pass! I wasn't sure if Rado would finish first.

[somerandomaussie]

i refuse to believe this .. it goes against laws of physics ... what motors in the scion btw?

[KaostC2010]

im curious if he's running high 6's on a quarter he should be in the high 3's on a the eighth he Chris Rado could beat the Titan Motorsports tC

[deanperea]

@KaostC2010 he would be running min to high 4 in the 1/8 with titan running high 3 in the 1/8 should be abel to pull out a high 5 there is ruffly about two second diff between 1/8 and 1/4

[KaostC2010]

@deanperea hmmm yea that sounds about right Rado's tC is 2000hp and Titan's tC is 2300hp still it would be something i would pay to watch

[MethanolHead94]

@deanperea The car is not running the same ratio gears when on the 1/4, on the 1/8 he will go through 4-5 gears just in 200 meters, where as on a 1/4 the gears have to be longer so there isnt the same pull, still 6.40 is pretty amazing plus on a 10.5 inch tyre

[DriftaV]

Holy shiet. That thing picks up quick.

[danilomell]

uou muito bom em  brazill

[smallblocksupercharg]

i bet chris has balls bigger then a donkey

[pdgeman]

this is fucking bad ass

[xMrDicex]

is this his time attack car?

[DragsterDude21]

r u stupid ha time attack car can not run that fast?

[ChinaGhost52]

@DragsterDude21 who says? just cuzz rwd v8's are more popular doesnt mean that fwd v6's cant be fast too. i bet his car is putting out somewhere close to 900bhp. factor in that he is using a v6 and an ultra light car. i bet you dont have a car that can beat this time, hell, i bet you dont even know anyone that owns a car that can beat this

[DragsterDude21]

@ChinaGhost52 first of all i am not bringing the car down or anything lke dat i love imoprts cars and for a fwd car to go 6.8 thats amazing but u probably dont even now a guy who could even beat him in a race i have seen chris at a race before but i didnt even say that i had a car that could beat him my dads friends car is a s2k with a 2jz in it but its only running low 8s its fastest time was 8.1@175

[KaostC2010]

@ChinaGhost52 2000hp to be exact

[trugemini6382]

@ChinaGhost52 this is a 4 cyl not 6 cyl

[johnnyo032003]

@DragsterDude21 actually This car was stripped down retuned and had the boost turned down, then a giant front wing was bolted on and chris used it as his time attack car. mind you he pretty much stripped it to the frame and redid every single thing, and retuned the computer and lowered the boost on the turbo. but yeah this is the time attack car, just before it became that.

[DragsterDude21]

@johnnyo032003 if you go on his website you can see that it is a fully built fwd drag car my dad has know chris rado for a while now and he has just been using the same chassis or tube frame ( idk if i got the hole tube frame thing right ) since 2005 when it was a celica then they just changed the body to a scion tc thats basicily what some of the race car drivers do?

[rhythmnsmoke]

@johnnyo032003 Not the Time Attack car. This is their Pro FWD drag car.  The Time Attack tC is a totally different car.

[tuned4life]

@DragsterDude21 no but chris changed this car later to his time attack 1100 bhp scion xD

[1SL0awd]

HOLY FUCK!!! Thats definately cookin for FWD..... Now on another note.... Behind every successful person lies a pack of haters. Thats the only reason you faggits talk shit is because youre jealous of what other people have and have done that you have not.

[DragsterDude21]

Go Chris rado u da best

[GTjersi91]

I felt retarded watching this. That is the God of Scion Tc's. LOL

[rcjexenove]

no mistake i saw this in a magazine he ran a 6.87 first fwd on the 6s congrats chris good job

[rhythmnsmoke]

Timing Error? BHAHAHA!!! Yall crack me up. This isn't the first and Only time he ran 6's in the FWD tC.

[HighAltitudeVideos]

lol look all of the domestic guys in denial and disbelief...they just figure its a mistake lol.

[caudice]

i dont care how fast it is, its still a gay car

[skilled1]

make a better one then you faggot

[caudice]

lolumad

there are plenty of better cars out there i dont need to

[Flexfuel306]

I don't care how fast it is, you're still a faggot.

[dsmdeegen]

you sir are arrogant.

When you make a fwd car run 6s, you can talk shit, hell a rwd car! til then shut the fuck up.

[Flexfuel306]

You stupid fuck. I was replying to some asshole who called Rado's car "gay". I love fast imports and fwd's.

You don't have a 6 second car either so suck a cock. Hell, barely 1% of all drag cars run 6s or faster.

[Mcbleh]

It certainly didn't look a 6 with that 60foot and mph, but regardless, amazing performance! Full credit where due. Still, you wonder why? The design is totally flawed, you're driving the wrong wheels. It's a fact of physics. RWD is optimum in all ways. That's why every premier class of motor racing is RWD, with rally an obvious exception. So good on him for being the best in his field, but i'll forever laugh at FWD drag cars.

[TheTelenovaProject]

@Mcbleh Whoever is giving you thumbs downs are clearly fanboys. RWD is, and always will be superior to FWD. I'm sorry, but torque steer is a design of suboptimal design.

[00siandrew]

why laugh at them if they're hitting 6's? And who's to say they won't get quicker? FWD drag cars haven't been around nearly as long as RWD, they haven't got it quite figured out yet. For now, yes RWD is easier to reach 6's, 5's, 4's and even high 3's...but RWD cars weren't running that at fist either. I'm not sayin they'll definitlely do it, but they keep getting better each year, who know's what they'll accomplish say 5 years from now?

[trugemini6382]

@Mcbleh ILL BET HES LAUGHING AT THAT v8 rwd ,,with a 400% larger engine and RWD still lost so that mustang must be 8's right..so its even more of a embarrasment and accomplishment to beat a Drag V8 with all the odds aganst you..1/4th the motor displacment ,,FWD..he pulls like twice as fast once he gets over the inherent traction issues ..if rado was RWD he would hit 5sec right on a 4 banger..

[CSUnited14]

CONGRATS chris... loving it to bad hes not reading this haha

[rotorracing1]

i'll believe it when i see the timeslips.

for a fwd to run 6.8@197mph, two things have to happen. one, the car has to do a 60' of 1.02-1.08 and we know the car didnt do that. knowing that he didnt do the 60's needed, the only way to make up for it is to run high mph. mph in the 210-215mph, and we know he didnt run that neither.

im sure it was an error.

[crazyedie19]

the car i pushing 1800 whp. no error.

[T04E]

The car is FWD and trapped 197mph... yes error, I agree with rotorracing1, he should have trapped more to do 6s .

[trugemini6382]

@T04E he must have let off

[alphamale227]

@rotorracing1

Not necessarily, your theory doesn't work for all situations, but yea there was probably an error somewhere here.

[DiEGO2DaBAY]

definately a timing error, considering it said he did a .7 60' on that 6.8 pass. but, this car has 60' 1.10's before, and on that 6.8 pass his 8th mile was 4.38 he did run 6's, but his 60' was off, so nhra called it back. theres alot of talk on Honda Tech forum about this. The crew chief of the car chimes in, the car is a 4 link car believe it or not. It has something to do with the timing beams for the 60 ft. and the big ass tires. crew chief explains it on Honda Tech, i can send the link?

[rotorracing1]

yes please, send me the link if you can.

[trugemini6382]

@DiEGO2DaBAY it was a .7 reaction time..not 60 foot..ppl hate and try to deny the fact he smoked that V8 with 1/4th the engine and FWD..read all these ppl on here hating..imagine if he was rwd and had a toyota v6 or v8 in it..

[00siandrew]

I know this isn't a highly accurate way to go about it, but at 1:57 he leaves, the clock lights up at 2:04. That's 7 seconds, like I said, not really an accurate way to tell, but you guys are acting like he wasn't even close. If there was an error, there's no way it's more than 2/10 off and he's still hitting 6's.

[trugemini6382]

@00siandrew the clock doesnt light up exactly as the time ends it goes through the computer tower then back through the lights and all that takes a split second..those lights also dont light up instantaniously..

[trugemini6382]

@rotorracing1 timeslips are you kidding me..it says right on the board and the announcer says it over the pa system..just hating cause he smoked that POS V8 with a 1/4th size 4 banger and FWD..he just let off at the end..

[skeletor1320]

Hell ya Chris is holding it down.
