Fun Times: 1970s Lada 2101 Drag Races a Porsche 911 Carrera RS and a Nissan GT-R with 1,000HP

Who said that only exotic supercars and muscular pony cars are allowed to steal the limelight at the drag strip?


If anything else, an unpretentious VAZ 2101 from the 1970s (better known with the Lada brand name outside the former Soviet Union), is bound to draw attention simply for being what it is…

But you should know by now that looks can be very deceiving sometimes and this cherry-red Lada created by the Vintic & Spuntic Workshop has 240 ponies neatly packed under its rickety hood.

Its competition in these two races is a mid-1990s Porsche 911 Carrera RS with 300-horses and a ferocious Nissan GT-R MK.1 Boostlogic Godzilla boasting 1,000-ponies.
