nothing like a 3.0 liter V10 putting out over 900 hp..... man I wish I could have been there for that
How about an 8 litre putting out over 8000 hp ..... and yes I wish I could have been there to hear that f1 engine as well
Yep. My friend dragged me to a
NHRA top fuel event a couple years ago; I had no idea what to expect. I literally thought my chest was going to explode
Indy cars (the only other racing event i've seen live) had nothing on that...
There's NOTHING in motorsports (or anything else a normal person would encounter) that compares to the hit of the throttle on 2 TF dragsters.
Chances are if you're not at a TF race and you hear anything that loud, you're probably in mortal danger.
ETA
Those F1 motors are some BMF's too.
Both types are amazing in their own ways, and how they reflect the mentality of their places of origin.
American Top Fuel, brute force, "Lets get the biggest, most powerful engine we can find, fuel it with rocket fuel, and throw on a MASSIVE supercharger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then we can put some wheels and a seat on it. It'll be the fastest thing ever!!!!!!"
Formula One (especially the Germans) precision, "We will make the most physically perfect, technologically advanced engine, as powerful and as compact as possible. It will then be put into a vehicle with the world's most advanced materials, electronics, brakes, suspension, and aerodynamics."
They are both the ultimate expressions of two different approaches.
