This engine makes more power at idle than a Lamborghini bahahaha you just cannot comprehend the numbers, 327mph in under 4.5 seconds, think about it....properly.....I KNOW bahahahah :D I wonder how many Gs they experience, F1 don't get close to this acceleration!!!
@therealTOTOfan 65gs? Are you sure? That sounds lung-mincing...I don't think fighter jets accelerate with that much force. Maybe I'm wrong but still, these machines are EPIC. People just don't think about the numbers because if they did they would realize the extreme nature of the sport :D
@therealTOTOfan People can die if they are exposed to even 10Gs of acceleration, your calculations are unfortunately wrong. They experience around 4Gs during acceleration. Remember, once their bodies reach a similar momentum to the car, which is not very long after takeoff, they experience less G-force.
@therealTOTOfan champ its been measured that fuel cars leave the start line with ~5g's. The guy in the rocket sled who survived 45g's had permanent vision damage from it, cant imagine people doing a lifetime of 65g passes ;)
@sasktank Actually, since drag racing started off in America and everyone goes by most of their rules, MPH is used around the world with drag racing. I know in Europe they use KPH, but they also use MPH (I think) and here is Australia we only started to display KPH on the timing boards in the last five or so years, but MPH still comes up. IMO, I prefer MPH because I think it is easier to gauge what a fast run is because it is easier to compare with the USA instead of converting.
You're correct in a way. The reason I say 12,000 is, the TF engines peak at 12,000 bhp, but only for a split second. I actually thought it was 8000 (max) myself, until a few months ago.
@xespguitarsx the highest recorded bhp for a fuel dragster just over 10,000 not 12. it was measured on doug kalitta's dragster and was found to be when the clutch engages about half way down the racetrack. LitbynoonProductions youtube channel has the video where mike dunn talks about it
In one burnout (approximately 2-3 seconds), these monsters burn roughly 2 gallons of nitromethane. And that's only firing on 4-6 cylinders. That's insane fuel consumption. But then again, it's needed to make 12,000 horses. Great video.
@matthewrockslol22 probably about 350 MPH with the right tune up, the engines wouldn't last much longer than they do in the 1/4 mile, they are right on the edge already.
@matthewrockslol22 You could put more fuel, but yes after the run they are basically empty and you don't want to lean out one of these engines. The motor itself wouldn't last very long on high RPM with enough fuel anyway.
I remember that run. The only way that Schumacher could beat Kalita in the points for a championship was to set a record, so he and his crew did just that. That was an insane run not only because it was a record, but because by setting the record he won a championship. Back in the days when they raced down the whole track.
hydrogen peroxide rocket dragsters such as Sammy Miller and Kitty O'Neil's 3.22 ET and 412-mile-per-hour (663 km/h) quarter mile world records set in 1977 are not official because they failed to back up those runs within one percent, per NHRA and FIA rules.
@ajkorras and that 3.22 pass wasn't on a drag strip, it was on salt flats. The fastest pass on a drag strip was a 3.54 second pass I think, but it wouldn't have been a record anyway because the hydrogen cars were banned in the USA, thats why you see Sammy Miller at European tracks like Santa Pod a lot of the time.
@68SSCAM Totally agree. There was a lot of sceptasism about Vanishing point running the 3.54. Also Santa Pod Claimed they had the Worlds Fastest Jet Car at 336mph. It never ran that time because it always runs between 260-280mph.
The record speed at a quarter mile is 337.58 MPH. It was set at Brainerd International Raceway by Tony Schumacher. It is not an official national record because it wasn't backed up within 2% of that speed.
The current National Record is 336.15mph, Schumacher couldn't back up the 337mph run for the record. But technically the quickest speed ever recorded on a 1/4 mile drag strip was 386.26 mph by Sammy Miller at Santa Pod in his Vanishing Point jet car. The ET for that run was 3.583 which stands as the quickest time ever recorded in a 1/4 mile drag strip as well.

princepersia1 3 months ago
@princepersia1 a very vague way to calculate G's would be due to Acceleration = Velocity / Seconds²
A = 146 (meters per second) / 4,4 sec² multiplying by 4,4 makes A = 642m/ s²
given the fact that 1G = 9,81m/s² the linear acceleration (not quite correct) would be 65 Gs of acceleration.

Everybody doesen´t seem to know how to translate MPH to Km/H.
If you´ve got 300 MPH you mulitpli it with 1,609 och if you´ve got 300 Km/H you devide it with 1,609.
