@westpalmbeachplaya you are and idiot. This is not even a "car", they are custom made machines. So no.car company made it. I know a guy who is getting 1200hp out of a 3.0L "jap car." So shut up and read a book before opening your stupid mouth.
@denis6maybir soooo there's japanese cars that run less than four seconds in the quarter mile??? Because as far as i know there's not. let me know if there is. go ahead i'll wait........
@pabloultraxtreme JayMark2049 had it right...these motors run between 8,500 and 10.000 horses. that's what nitromethane and great engineering will do.
@kissklassics ok, i need to learn something more, the truth is that i only heard that 3000+ is the horse power of a top fuel dragster, i already knowed that those engines use nitromethane, but i didn't knowed that is the power of those engines
actually these engines run 1300hp if ran on alchohal, but because Nitro burns slower and contains so much more oxygen in itself the engine can be set to produce 8000+. Its really mostly the fuel, but the engineering is what keeps them in one piece till the end of the track.
@pabloultraxtreme Sorry but nope. A "Top Fuel" dragster which runs on 90% nitromethane will make at LEAST 8000hp. Top Alcohol dragsters will produce about 3000hp but Scott Palmer drives a Top Fuel so yeah... 8000 to 10000hp.
1/8th mile racing is a bigger rush-130mph in 660ft. or 130mph in 1320ft.????Been there and done that. 1/8th mile is a bigger rush! same speed in half the distance.
@mskid68 The 1/4 mile is 1320ft. and the 1/8 mile is 660ft or exactly half the distance. I was saying that it is more fun to run 130mph in half the distance of the1/4mile. Its a bigger thrill to run 130mph in 660ft. than 1320ft. I would never stop going as fast as i could, I would love to run 300mph in the 1/4mile. I just used (130mph) for an example, because thats the best iI ever did in 660ft. (1/8 mile). Hope this explained it better.
@TheBricecrispy I think you misunderstood me...If you build a car that will run 130mph in 660ft. NOT a 1/4 mile (1320ft) you are running the speed of a killer home built car, which should be able of running low 10's in the quarter. Most fast cars that are home built are not going to run low 10's in the 1/4 mile at 130mph. I run half the distance of a 1/4 mile car that can run 130mph-(in half the distance) same speed, only half the distance. I run on a budget, no sponcer, try a 1/8 mile-u like it
well the question snwman should be how FAR would it go because those engines can only run for so long or else they will explode lol. and fuel would only last a few seconds.
you cant.. if you redline these things for too long they will explode. and if your talking about a tank and this engine you are going to expect disaster.. that big tank and this strong yet weak to long running time engine it will blow
@flamesofmordor only because hearing them scream when they are on fire is funny. The only thing more funny than that is when they see their burned, hairless head in the mirror and scream then cry.
they actually arn't inflating, they are being turned so fast that the rubber is being "thrown" to the same width of the rim. The tires are actually sagging when you look at them stationary, but when the motor hooks them up, they expand up to the width of the rim. Similar to putting a weight on the end of a elastic then swinging it around....the weight stretches the elastic
lol they are bolted to the rims and they also dont really throw out in all directions the back of the tire actually goes flat as it slows down when it hits the pavement then speeds up again after.......... but hey whatever i guess just about any jackass can try to sound important on here lmao
Top fuel drag slicks have 7psi in them, so they aren't inflated to their full potential. THAT WAY, when the wheels turn them, they only expand to the width of the rim giving them maximum traction when they are warm and sticky. This is what i was trying to say before. I wasn't trying to sound important, i was just trying to inform the commenter that its not the air thats expanding (although it might a little bit), its just the tire being turned so fast that it lines up with the rim.
I feel sorry for my generation. It's a good thing most of us worked hard enouh as not depend on "foul mouthed babies" like you to fund Social Security that still don't know what centifugal force is much less trying to explain it to someone who knows even less...
The best quality racing vid I've seen on here. Awesome sound, which is what it's all about for me. It's such an indescribably awesome sport - I couldn't believe it the first time I saw top fuel cars - literally jaw dropping. And LOUD! I thought class 1 powerboats were loud 'til I attended a race meeting. Just incredible.
i used to drive one too but iretired to play football. they also seemed to kill the sport where i live. they dont let them run at irwindale or pomona anymore
rally car racing is probably the hardest kind of racing, and it probably takes the most balls. but i mean you cant say that it doesnt take talent to shift like they do, and control the car at 300 mph.
i dont really care for nascar but there is talent involved, if it was that easy you'd be the won sitting there with the winston cup, think about all of the different aspects
For me only matters Rally Racing,but i'm dying to see a top fuel in action,you can't compare motorsports because they all are incredible in there own way.
lmao drag racing takes alot of talent , you get ina high powered car and tell me how you do , between shifting like maddd in under 8 seconds and stearing like your ran le mans in under 8 seconds .... yea you'll make out real good in the wall
@NASIMNASIM it takes no talent and no finess? wtf...i´d like to see you sitting in a 8000hp topfuel dragster and and just get ripped off the track cuz you don´t know anything about this cars...clutch- and throttelcontrol and the feeling about whats going on in a machine like that isn´t just keeping the throttle at maximum and pop the clutch...
@NASIMNASIM reaction timing. ability to withstand the g forces. ability to hold that mutherfucker straight at 400mph. but of course, that shit is a walk in the park
Poor kid @ 2:09 got a blast of Nitro exhaust in the face. lol Looks like he's not used to it. I guess next time he'll listen when he's told to stand away from the headers.
