Saw it at PVS this year...

for some reason, I wasn't actually that excited or impressed by it...

Maybe it's because they rave about it being street legal yet still have it locked up in a trailer as its now pretty much a show car...

saw that on tv a while ago, heard it cost him in excess of £100,000 to get it like that

how the hell do you wrestle control of that to keep it in a straight line when it hits 60 in 1 second??

I've always wondered what sort of reactions you need to drive a dragster. 'kin fast ones obviously but it must go pear shaped so rapidly when your putting thousands of BHP down.

... and that's tame compared to a pukka top fuel dragster. Mmm. Maybe a trip to Santa Pod is in order.
