wow, cool vid. ignore the really low resolution and theres some cracking cars in there. im relatively happy to see none of the manual shift cars could beat my personal record of 3.9 (or 3.8, cant remember!) to 100kph :)

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 :)

probably similar to have an elephant sit on you, i would imagine!!!!

car above weighs 1320Kg ready to race, and is fully road legal. its on semi-slicks and has about 450bhp :D
