DRAG
Watched 12/2/2016!
I love speed, but top fuel dragsters just don't do it for me. I have to either run or ride a tricycle (bicycle are too mainstream and unicycles aren't cool enough). I mean, I personally have only 2 cylinders, which I like to call "legs," but each one puts out 9001 hp… so I can go like, infinity mph.
TURN THE BOTTLE ON, CHARGE THE CANNON!
1320 video over half that distance. 🙂
8000 HP plus :3
I think that would be so cool! Add some excitement!!
@OMGDESTROYED Well its been his daily driver for about 2 years now.
ouch, that motor won't last long. Good luck hitting those High RPM's. V8 for life my friend they never disappoint.
A girl driving Dragster becomes more sexy and dangerous 😛
I think that yes thegoldenduck, even i want this 😛 Vruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (engine warming) rs
@emercito Umm, everyone wants to drive a dragster.
8 people would like to drive a dragster.
I wonder how fast these things could really go provided the engine didn't launch itself into orbit after about 10 seconds of running wide open…
@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.
@pabloultraxtreme
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.
you know that girl is in it for the orgasms from the vibration of the engine 😀
its awesome to see how skinny the tires get when they do a burn out
@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
sorry for my bad english 🙁
@pabloultraxtreme JayMark2049 had it right…these motors run between 8,500 and 10.000 horses. that's what nitromethane and great engineering will do.
@JayMark2049 something more like 3000+ horsepower 😉
@hellomrsteele Dude, a top fuel like this one is 8000+ horsepower.
Scott and his family are great people, I wish them the best!
@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
@mskid68 what you mean 130 mph????? thats slow top fuel go over 300 in that distance
@TheBricecrispy that wont be fun*
@tomagee hat wond be funn they would be flying off the track XD
@whactya because its fun
you want some fun ? add a corner 😀
@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.
@flamesofmordor In bed they are the same. 4 seconds and it's over.
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.
@Gunner3210 Good point! Exlax would be a benefit for sure for any Racer!
@tomgreene121 If it did, then going to the bathroom before a race should save a second at least.
Does the weight of the camera slow the car down by a couple of seconds?
I feel sorry for the bug that happen to be flying arounf those exhaust pipe when that thing took off.
or above the drivers head.
or in the cars path.
or on the tire.
@Hambo19911 Touche' sir, I myself have an alcohol funny car motorized weed eater in my garage…
that things idle fuel consumption is like 30 liters half a minute xD
great vid 😀
That motor is similar to the one on my lawnmower
DAMN HOLY SHIT. I NEED A MOTOR LIKE THAT!!!!
400mpr ha your a dumb ass
@NASIMNASIM llmmaaoo, you get in one of these and see how quickly your life ends.
@NASIMNASIM buddy you really dont know shit about it… ITS FOR SPEED DEMONs LIKE ME
@joserumba Because these engines must be started with methanol, nitromethane is then opened, and the noise changes.
