As part of Motor Trend's Best Driver's Car competition (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/22/porsche-911-carrera-4s-motor-trend-best-drivers-car-video/), the buff book has held its third iteration of the World's Greatest Drag Race (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k1DIrfNr48&feature=youtu.be). With an airfield and a dozen of the world's finest performance cars at its disposal (oh, and a helicopter), the MT team did what any good group of enthusiasts would do, and tried to figure what car could cover a quarter mile the quickest. World's greatest drag race, indeed.
The contestants, as MT points out, cover a huge variety of engine types, drivelines, aspiration types and body styles, making for a genuinely varied and interesting field of competitors. Here's the full list of cars taking part.
Aston Martin Vanquish (http://www.autoblog.com/aston+martin/vanquish/)
Audi R8 V10 Plus (http://www.autoblog.com/audi/R8/)

Quite a lineup.
