10-Second Diesel Chevette at Drag Week?! | Joe Harris’ Mercedes OM606 Build 🏁💨

Описание: Hot Rod Drag Week always delivers wild builds, but this one might take the crown for creativity. Meet Joe Harris, who brought a Chevette powered by a Mercedes OM606 3.0L diesel—and it’s already running 10.55s with nothing but diesel fuel.

With an injection pump from Diesel Pump UK, a Diesel Power Source VGT turbo, and a 4L80 trans, Joe’s lightweight 2,200 lb Chevette is knocking on the door of single-digit passes. If he breaks into the 9s, he’ll be the first in the U.S. to do it diesel-only with this motor—no nitrous, just pure diesel power.
