Old-school hotrod versus modern technology – which will win?

If you could pick two completely different cars to drag race against each other, a 1966 Buick Gasser and a 2020 Toyota Supra would be an excellent matchup. One is representative of classic American hotrod with primitive technology compared to what’s in vehicles these days. The other is a highly advanced sports car most wouldn’t even dream of taking to the drag strip. Just which one would smoke the other in a quarter-mile dash is the big question, and you might be surprised how it plays out in the video.

On paper, this is a more balanced match than most would assume. The Buick is pushing 400-horsepower, while the Toyota edges it out at 409-hp. In the Gasser is a 4-speed M21 manual transmission versus the 8-speed automatic in the Supra. Both have something extra: the Buick Gasser is packing a 150 shot of nitrous and the Toyota Supra has been tuned. Believe it or not, the Toyota is heavier at 3,400 pounds versus 3,260 pounds.
