# Watch This Junky Chevy Truck Annihilate a Lamborghini Huracán at the Drag Strip

We thought about going with one of those clickbait-y "You'll Never Guess What Happens When..." headlines for this story, but we figured you'd see through it. "Well, *obviously*, the truck is going to outrun the Lamborghini," you'd probably say, before taking a sip of Earl Grey tea and returning to the latest [Kathryn Schultz story at *The New Yorker*.](<https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/kathryn-schulz>)

And then you'd never get a chance to see just how badly this beat-up hunk o'work truck junk beats [a Lamborghini Huracán Spider](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/2711/critics-notebook-the-2016-lamborghini-huracan-spyder>) down the drag strip.

No, that old Chevy doesn't just beat the Lambo off the line. It *slays* the Italian super sports car. *Mutilates* it. Cuts it apart at every major joint, wraps up the pieces in butcher paper, carries them out to the Everglades, and throws them into a marsh filled with hungry alligators.

Granted, the Lamborghini driver doesn't do himself any favors here—he muffs the launch so badly, a man on a bicycle would have lead the Huracán for the first fifty feet of the race. But considering the way that farm truck punches out of the blocks, even a full-blast launch control hole shot wouldn't have given the V-10 Lamborghini a chance of hanging with the truck *The Drive* will forever consider The Ultimate Sleeper.

**Update**: The truck seen here is actually the Street Outlaws “Farm Truck,” as seen on the Discovery Channel show [*Street Outlaws*.](<https://www.discovery.com/tv-shows/street-outlaws/>) It's powered by a 632 c.i. big block equipped with a nitrous oxide system. We regret both the error, and the fact that we’d never heard of this beautiful chunk of redneck muscle until now.
