What's it Like to Ride in a 1500HP, Twin Turbo, Exoskeleton Drag Car (Leroy the Savage)

Hey guys, ChrisFix here. Today we're doing something awesome. You guys are going for a ride shotgun in a couple of drag cars. Not just any drag cars, the most iconic drag cars on YouTube. What's up guys? I'm Cletus from the YouTube channel. Today you're going to hop in with my boys James and Ruby. This is a thousand horsepower automatic Powerglide transmission drag car as well as you're gonna ride along with me in a stick-shift 1500 horsepower Corvette with no body panels known as Leroy.

We love drag racing and right now we're at Cleats and Cars if we are going to go have some freaking fun. This drag strip rips, hopefully we can run a seven second fast in this and an adequate 8 second pass in this. And then after that, can we go for a ride in Neighbor and do a nice burnout? I think. Let's do it Phil. Oh man, oh yeah, alright. You guys are in for a treat. This is something most people never get to experience. You're about to jump into Ruby, a thousand horsepower turbo Corvette. I won't be in the car with you but I will be miked up so let's get you guys in here for a ride-along now. You're in good hands. James is a pro at driving this car and we spoke before and he said he's ready to set a record with this run. So sit back and hang onto the burnout box where you burn out to heat up your tires and clean up for driving around the track.

The same when doing the burnout keep one hand on the wheel to steer the car, one hand on the shifter. When you're on the ship that you got to go to high gear so this way. Alright pull it back down in the first year to leave you'll see two buttons on the stairwell once that trans-brake the loss of arm once a pump box. The buglocks on the turbo car allows you to bunk the khari to build booster this way can be possible. It's on at the end you see my hand hit that second lever that is the parachute. It helps you slow down and holy smokes, that was nuts. You guys just ran a quarter-mile in 8.4 seconds which is a new record for this car and you were flying down the track at 161 miles an hour what a ride. So thank you James and now it's time to get into Leroy and go even faster. Quittez is taking you for a ride in his twin turbo 1500 horsepower stick-shift Corvette, which is the first-ever GM stick shift car that did a quarter-mile in less than eight seconds.

And as you can see by the crowds surrounding this car shouting, taking pictures, you are sitting in something special. This is one of the most famous drag cars on YouTube and you're about to see why. What's up guys? Good job Cheerilee had the bald eagle about $30. You know man that was crazy wheelspin off the line but Leroy hooked up and then blew past that other car in the left lane. And if you thought this was cool well we are not done yet next we're going for a ride in Neighbor for a burnout competition. Neighbor is a supercharged 1,000 horsepower drag car.

Neighbor is gonna get a rollcage it's gonna get this engine right here in the center put in there then we're gonna supercharge we're gonna make crazy power that's gonna happen don't worry and then to our left we have the Del Sol which is gonna get fixed up restored and then down below look straight down that's the turbo charger that's going in the Del Sol. All of those things are gonna happen but after they happen I want to do a drag car budget build. I want you guys to tell me right now what car do you want to see me use as the drag car. Any ideas? You have it. It's gonna be a great budget build something you could do at home, you follow along we'll all learn together how to drag race it's gonna be a blast.

I hope you guys enjoy this video if you did remember to give it a thumbs up and if you're not a subscriber as you can see we have a lot of cool videos and projects coming up so consider subscribing and stay tuned, this is gonna be a blast.
