Backwoods Street Race! Papas Talon vs 417 SBC 69 Nova

Backwoods Street Race! Papas Talon vs 417 SBC 69 Nova

When you see a Chevrolet Nova with a 417ci small block lining up with an Eagle Talon, you’d probably be inclined to think that this race is over from the start.

This Talon, however, shows us the well-guarded secret that is the DSM engine configuration when it goes all out against this Nova.

Even though the Talon doesn’t go home with the win, the four-cylinder puts up a fight and refuses to be blown out by the naturally aspirated v8

Check out the video below as the pair squares off and the Nova has a little bit of trouble grabbing traction, but after it does, it’s off to the races! Afterwards, we’re given a bonus race that puts a nitrous Ford Mustang head to head with a pair of Camaros!

It’s turbo vs nitrous Camaro. Who is coming out on top?
