how is it possible to have the car only at 28lb? with the engine and all the roll cage, i think is a prank, cuz any person with a decent car knowledge would know that metal is heavier than plastic

mindgam3 11-17-2004 07:02 PM

it says the body weighs 28lbs, not the car and top fuel dragsters do 0-100 in about 0.8 and at about 320+ not 250 so its not impossible

They said " Zero to 100-mph in less than one second "
and said " Reaches speeds of 250-mph in a quarter mile "

Wonder what times dose it take to finish the quarter mile 3 sec ??? :?

nthfinity 11-17-2004 07:14 PM

some of the dragsters experience more g-force acclleration than this car appears to do as well
8g's at takeoff, and sustained 5-6 g's until the end of the quarter.

im not say ing 6 seconds is slow... its freekin fast! but, i dont think this car will beat 330 some mph in the 1/4 mile

thier estimated 250 mph sounds reasonable (and freekin' fast)

CSedl87 11-17-2004 08:03 PM

Thats nothing for a top fuelly. They usually do 0-100 under 1 second, and the quarter in 5 seconds. So no bs flag here.

DUNKiNUTS 11-17-2004 08:43 PM

why bs Topfuel runs to a 100 in 60 FEET!!! Its possible

gobs3z 11-17-2004 10:07 PM

Deffinately not BS. You have to realize 100mph for these cars is not much of a time waist. When the car launches it is releasing(in this car) 2500hp without wheel spin, and deffinately no turbo lag. It's very much possible.

not even A second, but LESS than... yeah right!

DUNKiNUTS 11-18-2004 12:02 AM

guys Topfuel Dragsters that run 1/4 miles in 4 sec. hit 100 in less then a sec. (before the 60 ft mark). and have a trap speed of around 300 mph. It is done

black_magician 11-18-2004 12:14 AM

i've heard of cars (dragsters) doing around .5 second to sixty, I think its definately possible.

0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) in less than 0.5 seconds

i think the myth is confirmed! :)

possessed_beaver 11-18-2004 12:47 AM

as evreyone said, it's a drag car, it's highley possible.

Who gives a shit? It's not street legal!

Anyone can take a light weight chasis and throw a ton of horsepower into it and make it go fast in the quarter.

Show me this car with a comfortable interior, a useable in the real world suspension, and all the things that it would need to be street legal and meet some safety standards, then I'd be impressed.
