# Watch a Fiesta ST Smoke a Camaro, Supra, and Others at a Drag Strip

Drag racing is a quintessential part of car culture and a must-do for anyone looking to put his or her car through its [paces](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/6262/locals-drift-and-drag-at-san-antonio-raceway>). It applies the same, basic concept of racing in a straight line to see who's the fastest, but comes in many forms. Participants can range from NHRA [Funny Cars](<https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/3817/the-glory-and-insanity-of-nhra-drag-racing>) with thousands of horsepower to stock [minivans](<https://www.thedrive.com/watch-this/9659/will-a-toyota-86-beat-a-chrysler-pacifica-in-a-drag-race>) with nothing to lose. Drag racing is a great way to test your car's top speed or see how your customized performance car fares against similarly modded vehicles. YouTube channel [1320video's](<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0PXqiud6dbwOAk8RvslgpQ>) latest film displays the latter as a custom Ford [Fiesta ST](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/7876/watch-ford-debut-the-new-fiesta-st-with-a-top-gear-style-race>) beats a slew of other performance cars on the strip.

This 2015 Fiesta ST has almost every bolt-on you can think of installed. The owner says it's probably pushing 360-plus horsepower with help from the turbocharger kit alone. That's [Focus RS](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/4843/the-ford-focus-rs-is-the-worlds-finest-hot-hatch>) territory from a car that goes for under $20,000 new and weighs 2700 pounds. Not that this car needs more power, but it could definitely benefit from a [tune](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/9852/new-hondata-tune-boosts-the-2018-honda-civics-turbo-engine-past-the-si>) to make it even more insane.

The Fiesta had its successful weekend at Omega Motorsport's [No Fly Zone Midwest](<https://www.omegamotorsport.com/copy-of-noflyzone-midwest>) in Rantoul, Illinois, an annual gathering of drag racers looking to drive the half-mile mile at crazy speeds.

The owner wanted to challenge anyone he could to a race, and clearly had all of his cards in order because he annihilated almost everyone he contested. Notable victories were surprising, as the mighty Fiesta beat a Lancer Evo, Supra, Golf R, and [Camaro ZL1](<https://www.thedrive.com/muscle-cars/4976/the-2017-chevrolet-camaro-zl1-will-hit-60-mph-in-1st-gear>). You can tell that the turbo kit is the big reason that the ST won every time: in each race, the Fiesta's competitor pulls ahead at the start, but the ST's boost kicks in a few seconds into the race and the car shoots past its competition.

It wasn't all fun and games though; the Fiesta ST broke down on at least two consecutive runs. Although neither problem was catastrophic, the owner plans to install a bigger turbocharger and come back next year to have another go.
