Street Car Takeover Dallas delivered stacked seven-second passes, with a Corvette–Camaro final decided by two-tenths at Texas Motorplex.
A crimson Chevrolet Corvette cut through a bracket of seven-second contenders to meet a black fourth-generation Chevrolet Camaro in the Street Racer Wild final at Street Car Takeover Dallas, capping a night of quarter-mile runs that left little daylight at the stripe.
Video from the “Drag Racing and Car Stuff” YouTube channel shows the event’s top street-car class living up to its billing as “the quickest cars on the property.” Opening eliminations set the tone: a silver Fox-body Ford Mustang with a towering cowl hood motored to a 7.90-second pass, well clear of an old-school, hood-delete muscle car that clocked 9.72.
The marquee matchup followed. A red C4-generation Corvette squared off against a BMW E9X-series coupe, likely an M3. Both left clean, and both dipped deep into the sevens; timing boards displayed a 7.563 for the Corvette to the BMW’s 7.623 — close, but not quite enough for the Bavarian to advance.
Round two tightened further. The same Fox-body returned and improved to a 7.527 but was edged by the Corvette’s 7.468, sending the GM entry to the lane for the final. On the opposite side of the ladder, a white Mk4 Toyota Supra faced the black fourth-gen Camaro. The Chevrolet’s launch proved decisive; it posted a 7.453 while the Supra chased to a 7.93, putting the Camaro through to the decider.
The championship pass mirrored the evening’s theme: little drama off the tree, relentless speed through the traps. Timing boards indicated a 7.393-second winning elapsed time against a 7.596 runner-up. The video edit did not label lane assignments in the final cut, but the result underscored how narrow the margin can be when multiple entries are capable of low-seven-second slips.
The Street Racer Wild class, a crowd draw at Texas Motorplex’s “Where Speed Was Born” quarter-mile, is built for repeatability as much as raw pace. Across the board, improved second-round times suggested track prep and cooling air helped competitors chip away at earlier efforts.
No incidents were reported, and officials did not publish reaction times or trap speeds. Still, the data points captured on video — four separate seven-second winners in three rounds, including a 7.39 in the final — offered a tidy snapshot of where modern street-legal builds sit: brutally quick from the hit, and separated by tenths that feel like inches.
