| The fastest top fuelers can attain terminal speeds of
over 530 km/h (330 mph) while covering the quarter mile (402 m) distance
in roughly 4.45 seconds. It is often stated that Top Fuel dragsters are
the fastest accelerating vehicles on Earth. Top-Fuel Racing is a class of drag racing in which the cars are run on a maximum of 90% nitro methane and about 10% methanol (also known as racing alcohol), instead of gasoline. The cars are purpose-built race cars, with a layout superficially resembling open-wheel circuit racing vehicles; however, they are much longer, much narrower, and have very thin front tires, to optimize their performance exclusively in a straight line. The calculated Power output of these Top Fuel dragster engines is most likely somewhere between 7000 and 8300 horsepower (approximately 4500-6000 kilowatts), with a torque output of 5100–6750 Nm (3760–4980 lbf ft). Top Fuel Funny Cars - also run on Nitro Methane with fibre glass replica bodies on a smaller chassis. |
