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

Around 1300bhp apparently. Similar torque too.

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.
