I now have to bring top fuel drag cars into it now.

Only difference is there engine lasts a competion if there lucky.

Though 0-100 is less than a second and hitting 300+ in 1/4mile.

i.e.

Boom

and

Boom again

BOLLOCKS links don't work so here's the whole page: Top fuel stuff

I love drag racing, my dad owns this 1934 Ford coupe. Runs 8.36 1/4 mile in full street legal trim. So fun being driven in it on the road :o

What I don't understand is how he has gotten ~900 horses out of a 9 litre V8 (before 500hp extra N2O :- ) Yet all these engineers only manage 1000 out of an 8 litre engine with *4* turbos.

Anyone else thinking of going to the Nitrolympics at Hockenheim next year?

More on topic - I love the car I think it's a wonderful achievement and will lead to many improvements in other areas of automobile design. If I had the money I'm not sure if I would buy one, I'd just feel like a complete tosser in it but ah well.
