The fuel gauge on the top fuel dragster drops as quickly as the speed rises. They should consider using a nice 2.0 TDI lump, they could probably do 6-7 runs on a tank full.

but lets not detract from the original video, which is good. the top fuel dragster is over almost before it begins!

Nice car, can you drive it on the road?
From the stats I see the stock one weighs 1100kg with 295hp, no wonder its so quick.

I was trying to calculate the g forces those dragsters pull during initial acceleration.
Even though Wiki says 4G average, I calculate the initial acceleration to be roughly 7G
I wonder how that feels
