This Drag Racer Completes the Quarter-Mile In A Flaming Four Seconds

This drag racer takes internal combustion to its epic maximum, creating sonic shock waves, a hellish exhaust note and big, big flames

For normal road cars you’d call a 10-second quarter-mile a decent benchmark/target/dream, depending on what stage your project car is at. But in the world of drag racers IC engines are as extreme as it’s possible to get, with this specific car/missile managing a 4-second quarter-mile at 197mph; acceleration that’s hard to even imagine. How the hell the driver keeps it in a straight line is anyone’s guess.

With some dragsters managing outputs well into thousands of horsepower, it’s not surprising that these finely-tuned engines produce a noise akin to a nuclear explosion. RIP headphone users.
