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

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 ???

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)

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.

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.

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!

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.
