This car right here is an absolute game changer. For the first time in 20 years, legendary racecar builder Stephan Papadakis lifts the front clip of his legendary drag racing Civic for an unprecedented look at everything that made this car tick: the front wheel drive drag racer that blew minds and records.

Making 1000hp these days is a cakewalk. All the right ingredients are right there for you to find online. But making 1000 ponies *reliable*, on a brand new platform, all while smashing that rev limiter relentlessly - now that’s where the build skills come in. And if you’re building a fast Toyota in the U.S., you know exactly where to go: Papadakis Racing. Steph and Betim get into what makes this thing rip.
