'66' Batmobile vs. '89' Batmobile DRAG RACE

This one is for all the marbles, Ladies and Gentlemen. At last, the age old question of which one is better will finally be answered as 60s TV show Batmobile takes on the 90s Tim Burton film Batmobile in a drag of epic nerdy proportions.

That sound you just heard? A collective worldwide nerdgasm thanks to this video of two iconic Batmobiles racing side-by-side on a makeshift dragstrip. Super Power Beat Down host Marisha Ray pits the 1966 Batmobile from the Adam West TV series against the Michael Keaton version from the 1989 movie. And while the latter looks more menacing, the '66 actually has it beat in terms of horsepower and quarter-mile time -- it's built on a C4 Corvette platform complete with a small block Chevy V8 engine. Who wins the race? Just watch

OH and BTW......the last minute is well worth the wait!!

That race was rigged.

If you watch the race they have the '66 bat mobile closest to the yellow line but when they show the slow mo replay the cars swapped sides.

No way either of those cars are 10-11 second or 9-10 second quarter mile. Maybe he meant 1/8 mile.

Back in the day (early 70's), we were at an auto auction and they were selling one of the original bat cars. My brother and i begged our uncle to buy it.... just could not convince him to do it.
