<title>Dodge Hellcat Takes Victory After Toyota Supra Suddenly Brakes Mid-Race</title>
<link>https://www.autoevolution.com/news/dodge-hellcat-takes-victory-after-toyota-supra-suddenly-brakes-mid-race-243175.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[If you&#039;re drag racing in a souped-up Toyota Supra against a Dodge Challenger Hellcat over the quarter mile and have the starting advantage, it&#039;s probably wise not to break while you&#039;re in the lead. On the other hand, if you&#039;re about to hit a cement wall at 60 mph, you&#039;re best off braking, even though it will cost you the race. Sometimes, the best victory you can achieve is getting you and your car home safe and sound.
