At topspeed the bugatti engine uses more air in 1 minute, than we breathe in 5days

Top Fuel. Also fucka bugatti ;)

* One dragster's 500-inch Hemi makes more horsepower then the first 8 rows at Daytona.

* Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1 1/2 gallons of nitro per second, the same rate of fuel consumption as a fully loaded 747 but with 4 times the energy volume.

* The supercharger takes more power to drive than a stock hemi makes.

* Even with nearly 3000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into nearly-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock.

* Dual magnetos apply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of an arc welder in each cylinder.

* At stoichiometric (exact) 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture (for nitro), the flame front of nitromethane measures 7050 degrees F.

* Nitromethane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases.

Id like to see that test with a variety of vehicles. The damage is amazing.

yea, I'd like to see a race car with a full cage too.
At that point the cage is irrelevant even if the car remained perfect at a crash force of 400g's youre not going to live. Edited by Broke_Audio_Addict

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

yea I was watching a couple of documentaries on formula 1 and a lot of driver safety is actually track prep, not so much the car. Even though the cockpit config is important. Things like the HANS device help but ultimately its the barriers that are the most important and angle of attack...

400g is a lot.. it takes about 10's to make someone pass out, it has to be constant though. less then a second anyone can take it(10's) who knows how much can someone take 400 and for how long ..

i also dont think a car under its own power going 120 mph will create 400g's of force.. the crane did all the pulling and with lots of torque. once the car crashes the force stops. the crane doesnt creating more force as it keep moving forward.. they need to make tests with cars own power..
