In this exhilarating episode of Hoonigan, we are treated to a showdown of epic proportions featuring drag racing royalty from across the pond. The spotlight shines on a unique duo: Jamie from officially gas and Jay from rotor form. Jamie unveils his beastly Nash Metropolitan, a classic car with a big block Chevy engine that packs a punch. Despite its power, working on this car is no walk in the park due to its cramped quarters and intricate design. The Nash has a history of hitting 990s on the strip, but Jamie is confident it can go even faster with the right tweaks.

On the other side of the track, Jay showcases his Vauxhall Nova, a British icon with an Astra VXR engine under the hood. Running on C85 fuel and reaching a top speed of 154 mph, this compact powerhouse is a force to be reckoned with. Jay's Nova boasts a stripped-down interior for weight reduction and features a fire suppression system for added safety. Each car brings its own set of challenges and unique characteristics to the table, making for an electrifying drag racing showdown.

As the engines roar and the tires screech, the Nash Metropolitan and Vauxhall Nova go head-to-head in a thrilling battle for supremacy. Despite a few setbacks, including a broken drive shaft and LSD issues, both drivers are determined to push their cars to the limit. With one tire fire versus a fully functional car, the race is on to see which vehicle will emerge victorious. In the end, it's a close call, with the Nova edging out the Nash Metropolitan in a nail-biting finish. The passion, dedication, and sheer adrenaline of drag racing are on full display in this high-octane episode of Hoonigan.
