Next Gen Performance Shatters the 1/4-Mile Godzilla Record at World Cup Finals

The stage was set, the air was crisp, and the stands at Maryland International Raceway were packed with fans hungry for history. What they got was something even better.

This weekend at the World Cup Finals, Godzilla Chuck & Next Gen Performance officially rewrote the record books, breaking the 1/4-mile Godzilla record and putting the entire Ford performance world on notice. With the help of the Following

A Pass for the Ages

From the moment the burnout smoke cleared, the tension was electric. Godzilla Chuck rolled his Godzilla-powered Foxbody into the beams with quiet confidence—the kind that only comes from months of obsessive tuning, sleepless nights, and a crew that refuses to accept anything less than perfection.

When the lights dropped, the car launched like it had something to prove.

The early incrementals were brutal. By half-track, the Godzilla’s roar was drowned out by the crowd’s reaction—they knew they were watching something special unfold. And then, in a blur of power, precision, and pure violence, the scoreboard lit up:

More Than a Record—A Statement

Breaking the Godzilla record at the World Cup Finals isn’t just a number on a time slip. It’s a statement about innovation and grit. It’s what happens when a team refuses to follow the path and instead decides to carve their own.

The Godzilla platform may be young, but Next Gen Performance just proved what its future looks like—and it looks fast.

Stupid fast.

The Team Behind the Glory

Moments like this don’t happen alone. They come from the tuners who never stop chasing hundredths, the mechanics who know every bolt by feel, the drivers who keep the car straight on chaos, and the shop mindset that “good enough” is never an option.

Next Gen Performance brought all of that—and more—to World Cup Finals 2025!
