00:00G'day, I'm Paul. This is a Ram TRX, but not just a normal Ram TRX, and that is an Aston
00:20Martin DBX 707. We're going to be doing some drag racing across the quarter mile. We're
00:25going to do a roll race, and at the end, I'm going to be quiet so you can hear these
00:28two things go down the quarter mile. This is a little bit special, because in addition
00:32to being supercharged, this is also twin turbocharged. It makes over 1200 horsepower, which is unreal.
00:39Elbors, run us through your fancy Mercedes over there.
00:42Well, before I do, I just want to point out that of all these drag races that we've done
00:46in all the super and hyper cars you've sent, you've never looked so at home than in that
00:49American monstrosity. So, well done. You've finally found a car that suits your driving
00:53style and your driving skill. I'm not intimidated by that thing one little bit. It weighs, what,
00:58three tons? And I've got a fancy SUV with all the luxuries. It's got 700 horsepower. It's a DBX 707,
01:05and I reckon it will absolutely hose that giant thing that you've got over there.
01:10I am very excited, to be honest. Big shout out to Dontex for loaning us this car. It is an absolute
01:15beast. And eBay for helping us put this on as well. And our mate Lawrence for loaning us these cars too.
01:19As a reminder as well, we are at a regional airport runway, so the surface here isn't conducive to this
01:24stuff. So the numbers that you see won't be what you see on a prep surface and all that kind of
01:28thing. So do keep that in mind. Let's get started with a standing start race to begin with. Megan,
01:33count us in.
01:34Launching on go, three, two, one, go.
01:55Wow, I really just stopped there, didn't I?
02:03Oh my god!
02:13That did not work well for me at all.
02:15This thing is nuts!
02:34Elbows, what happened there, champion?
02:36The wet patch that you planted me in while you have the most perfect dry patch on your side,
02:41so my car didn't actually move when I accelerated. So it would be better if we could either move the
02:46flag forward or back so that I'm not in the only wet patch on the entire part of the track.
02:50I think you could move up by about 100 metres and you still wouldn't win.
02:54I do hope that you can figure that car out this time because the day will only get worse from here
02:59if you can't. Yeah, yeah, here we go. Come on. Megan, count us in when you're ready.
03:07Launching on go, three, two, one, go!
03:16Go!
03:23Come on! Come on!
03:31See ya!
03:36Come on!
03:36Oh my god!
03:54Since you didn't cheat that time, it was much closer.
03:57Much closer. I wasn't even trying.
04:00I basically backed out of it in the end to make the video look good for you because I know you don't
04:04like to lose, otherwise we'd have to cancel the whole day again.
04:07Well look, maybe you'll have a little bit more success with a rolling race.
04:12I really don't think so.
04:14We couldn't go drag racing without a lot of help, so thanks to our mates at eBay,
04:18we're able to bring you this latest drag racing series.
04:21eBay has a range of performance parts that can help your car on the track.
04:25Whether you're chasing speed, power or efficiency, eBay's got the performance parts to match,
04:30no matter the project. You can even find the right tyres to get the best launch possible,
04:35which is something my mate Alborz desperately needs.
04:38eBay even has all of your favourite brands and products to help keep your track weapon clean
04:43for that podium picture at the end of the day.
04:46So, if you do need anything for your day at the track, make sure eBay is your first stop.
04:50Now, let's get back to the drag races.
04:53Now, time for a roll race. This is where Alborz may actually have a bit more success.
04:58Maybe. We're going to get to 30km an hour, and when we get to that first white line,
05:02we're both going to punch it. So, I'm going to have to manually shift gears here,
05:06just because I don't want to be getting there when it's in auto and it having to kick down.
05:10Alborz will be doing the same as well, and then we'll see what happens.
05:13Okay, let's go.
05:27Ah, come on. That thing is literally sucking the atmosphere out of me.
05:44Oh, even with you cheating my friend, it will not get you anywhere in life.
05:54Well, I would say that that was pretty close.
05:58If I'd left about three seconds earlier, I might have had a chance.
06:00Yes, as opposed to the two seconds earlier you did leave.
06:03I noticed you're really struggling to turn and come back there, Paul.
06:07Is it because you're in a giant American truck?
06:09Ah, the best thing about this set of drag races' elbows is that I can go off-road,
06:14I can tow things, there's a baby seat in here, I can beat you.
06:17There is not much this thing cannot do.
06:20Well, look, I mean, you showed up somewhere of fancy nature in that car versus me in this car.
06:26I can tell you a few things that car can't do.
06:28Righto, champ.
06:30Now, we're going to throw to the bit where I'm going to be quiet,
06:32we're going to set some times here and see how this goes.
06:33Just as a reminder, this is original airport runway,
06:36so the times you see here may not be what you expect to see in the real world,
06:40where you find prep drag strips and all that sort of stuff.
06:42So, let's go.
06:52So, let's go.
07:35Well, I can tell you that was one of the most enjoyable drag races we've ever done.
07:39Not because I bet Elbors again, mainly because this thing is just on another planet.
07:44It is such a cool car.
07:46If you do want to check out our other drag race videos, head to the playlist on the YouTube channel.
07:50Big shout out to the legends out here at Wildcatchem.
07:52And big thanks as well to eBay for helping us put this one on.
07:56If you do get a chance to come down here, have a meal at the pub as well.
07:59But until next time, take it easy.
