Actually I will stand with what I said.
As I stated, it takes 4.50 seconds to travel 1320 feet at 200mph. In the wikipedia article below they use 4.45 seconds, so what they say is true. If the dragster made a run better than 4.499 seconds he would beat the Corvette. However the National Record is 4.428 seconds. It takes a damn good pass to run a 4.450 lap. And for the record, the National Record for speed is 336.15.
And needless to say, the 3.0 seconds that the original post referred to is pure bullshit.
Anything else I need to check?:dontknow:
The fastest top fuelers can attain terminal speeds of over 530 km/h (330 mph) while covering the quarter mile (402 m) distance in roughly 4.45 seconds. It is often related that Top Fuel dragsters are the fastest accelerating vehicles on Earth; quicker even than the space shuttle launch vehicle or catapult-assisted jet fighter (however this ignores the hydrogen peroxide rocket dragsters such as Sammy Miller and Kitty O'Neil's 3.22 ET and 663 km/h (412 mph) quarter mile world records set in 1977). In fact, a vehicle traveling at a steady 200 mph (322 km/h) as it crosses the starting line will be beaten to the finish line by a top fuel dragster starting from a dead stop at the same moment.
