not quick at all.

Rapido infact, always makes me think why other engines arn't derve????

 

theres a vid on there of a 7.7sec pass from a pickup

 

The dragster one is amazing due to the lack of smoke.

 

Bloody hell!

What power/Torque/ are they running?

 

Around 1300bhp apparently. Similar torque too.

7.7s

 

Second link from the top is 7.1.

 

But compare that diesel dragster to the petrol ones. its awfully slow!

As they have 6 times the power it is slightly to be expected.......... AndTop Fuel Dragsters don't run on petrol

The Diesel is based on a standard engine of only 6.5 litres as opposed to 8.2 litres for the Nitromethaners, my amazement is the lack of smoke for power.
