What makes a drag car go fast?
Drag cars are fueled by Top Fuel to make them go faster. According to sources, normal or regular old gasoline “does not generate the power necessary to propel these cars as fast as they need to go.” Therefore, it is advisable to use Nitromethane – a gasoline that comes with its own oxygen.
How fast can a drag car accelerate?
A drag car is estimated to accelerate from a standstill to 100 mph (160.9 km/h) in as little as 0.8 seconds – which is less than one third the time required by a production Porsche 911 Turbo to reach 60 mph (96.6 km/h). It can also exceed 297 mph (478.0 km/h) in just 660 feet (201.2)
