1. This stuff is not weird to me.. its normal stuff here in nz. But could be said its better. Love it man!! This feels more real!

2. Lots of Diesels in drag cars unironically….

3. That escort is excellent

4. Heck yeeah 13:56 Shout Out from Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

5. You need to do a taller angle for diesel cars …to show the car or truck. Not the smoke

6. Imports suck. Not watching the video.

7. This looked like the Wacky Races i was waiting the whole video to see muttley

8. Well guys you should visit Greece sometime to a helenic championship race! 😁

9. driver of grey lupo im sure its portuguese hehe we rock those pd 130's 💨💨💨💥💥💥💥💥

10. Love it! 👍

11. The cossie

12. That white 2nd gen renault 5, the us had the first gen renault 5 as "le car".
    I recognized the back, not the front that looks totally different from stock.

13. nothing beats 1.9tdi.. build like a tank from factory (4cyl diesel 2jz), holds 600+hp on stock internals (crank, rods, pistons, head gasket, head bolts) and very cheap with parts available everywhere.. sadly knowledge to make them fast easy (building/tuning) was spread only recently in few years back..
    in few years you will see trend of dsq (either dq or dl) 1.9tdi nitro/compound builds poppin before they fade out

14. Being from Portugal I felt right at home! And that Polo representing my country! Nice work guys! Thank you for showing different things! 😍😍

15. What time did the Escort get lol!

16. That AWD MK1 Rabbit was nuts – 9.7 sec!

17. As a mk1 rabbit owner…that Orange awd diesel golf is goals!

18. Ibizas, corsas and puntos. Never tough i'd see those on this channel. That escort was beautiful!

19. weird because you are american .but for me being from EUrope this cars move my heart ,,,,not to mention that they are fk fast for 4 cilinder

20. Thank you for covering all these interesting and unusual builds. Whats up with 4 cyl diesels over there lol, 9s, really? 😅

21. Ce voleur a oublié les 50F de marchement 😂

22. Ford Escort hands down, it is registered and running on the road every day and still runs 9's

23. Would love to see the American cars come over to see what they do at this track.

24. Seat its a VAG. Quick like tuning vag

25. Well, now you yank mouth-breathers know how we feel watching pretty much every single 1320 video with all those WEIRD, heavy, low-tech USDM cars that never were exported because they're so shitty.

26. Can appreciate the vans, one running a 9.7 and the camper running a 10 second trip is insane.

27. Liked the Ford Escort with the Cosworth.

28. I'd give anything for a 1st gen escort, i love them. My first car was a 87 escort GT us spec of course. My uncle built the engine and it had a turbo and intercooler off a 86 svo mustang. I was running a turbo car before turbos were ever a normal thing and i beat so many Mustangs & Camaros that had no idea what was going on until i popped the hood. It's the only car i wish i had back.

29. The escort was insane

30. I remember my first trip to europe..my mind was blown by all the cars i had never heard of. So many cool cars americans didn't have, it was a nice surprise because it was not something i thought about before i got there.

31. It called Seat (Se-at) not Sea-at. 😉

32. Not gonna lie a stock 1.4 punto engine making 600 is something i'd never thought i'd see.
    Atleast not without it blowing the engine on the burnout box to be honest

33. That Ford Zeypher vs the Welds Lamborghini was an EPIC Race!

34. Great video, haven't been to the pod since before covid. Must go back as we only live 1.30 hours away. Just to let you know that the Renault 5 WAS available in the US. It was called the "Le car". Unsurprisingly going up against the bigger cars it wasnt a great success. Also the Hillman Imp Stilleto, thats now got a front mounted V8 originally had a rear mounted water cooled engine. My wifes uncle has one fully restored but still in original spec.

35. That Escort was the kind of car I would build for a track car if i could afford one

36. What event was this?

37. That NA Ford Zephyr doing 9's is absolutely amazing!

38. You must try to come to Thailand because Thailand has the most powerful 4-cylinder diesel cars in the world. People will get to know the powerful 4-cylinder cars that can be used in the daily life of Thai people.🇹🇭🇹🇭

39. at 18:00 i heard american bald eagles screeching….

40. Last 2 cars are the best

41. If the owner of the Fiat Punto GT is here I have an official FIAT pdf to share to improve the aerodynamics of the car.
    This is a series of aerodynamic studies to reduce the drag of the car and improve its cx. In addition to complimenting because I've been following his car at the Santa Pod for years.

42. Why surprisingly? We understand refinement and don’t need 8000cc of pig iron engine to make 1000bhp. Also in standard form these things can take something called a corner? Don’t think U.S made cars are familiar with them, still using leaf springs 😂

43. There is a drag stripin scotland too called crail raceway in fife wouldnt be too far for youo if your still in UK.

44. what this renault 5 turbo has the stock engine wtf its c engine code numbers i dont know anymore wtf that engine has push rods

45. I saw you while i was on the highway are you driving a challenger with 1320 on the back? in dallas

46. Americans don´t know shit about foreign cars lol… But we europeans can name a lot of american cars, probably better than some americans.

47. It's because in Europe these models are just ordinary pedestrian cars. Everyone had or has them. Because Europe is tightly populated and doesn't have huge & wide road infrastructure like in the USA – thus the cars are simply smaller. Now you know! 😁😎🤟
