Not bad, if you can deal with the 1/4 mile engine overhauls......
1/4 mile or 5 seconds, whichever occurs first.
Those guys are amazing - they can do a complete teardown and rebuild in less time than it takes me to change oil. It's awesome to watch them do a "thrash" in the pits. They just flat Git-R-Done with no confusion, no problems. They don't even run into each other with 6 guys working on the same engine...

Top feul engines are neat, I like boat drags but they are the same engines . Top feul is like something from outer space when compared to all others. A crew served weapon?

Amazing to see how fast these cars go in only 4 seconds. 333+MPH on the ground is simply too fast for human comprehension for most of us. What a rush that must be to drive one of those top-fuel monsters!

That's as much HP as 3 locomotives!
Hve you all ever gone to an NHRA Winston event? You don't even really hear a top fuel car, you feel it. It literally vibrates you and the Earth around you. It's funny during night runs of you're at the far end of the track; you see the hit of the throttle with the fire etc. and a split second later the noise/vibration just shocks you.
