Each of the 8 cylinders produce more power than a complete F1 engine.

0 - 100 is normally about 0.8 of a second.

14 to 18 gallons of Nitro Methane per quarter


Current US budgets are $ 22,000 per run


Like The Ring, experiencing Top Fuelers is a box to tick.



You will see the difference between Methanol & Nitro Methane in the clip,

The car is started on Methanol only 1500 Bhp. Keep your eyes on the guy on the left.
You will see him stretch his arm and activate the Nitro. It then has 8000 Bhp and normally they run between 96 - 98% N.M. You will hear the fuel pressure increase just before they blip the throttle.
Currently around £ 62 per gallon

This is as serious as motor racing gets. Nothing comes close to experiencing a TF.
