Default Modern marvels.

Anyone watching the one on Drag Racing? Top Fuel Dragsters are umm. Crazy? 150 gallons / minute...they showed an actual test to show how much gas is flowing in 1 cylinder at idle. and then full throttle...It look as if the hoover dam just broke open and all the water spilled out..its some crazy shit. 7000 HP. how come no 1 has ever put one of these motors in a CRX?

I don't think we'll ever see a 7000HP CRX.

1. the motor would be bigger than the car
2. drivetrain issues
3. the frame would snap/bend

The whole motor was custom built, CNC machined from a block of aluminum. It is twin turbo + nitrous.
