The top fuel dragster experience in numbers:
1: the ground starts to shake
2: your ears hurt
3:the dragster's gone
Burnt Nitrous Gas Dissolves Human Flesh!!
Then your eyes hurt
You get nose bleeding problems for the next 20 years...yes, happend to me. Doctor told me I need to laser my nostral veins. Will loose at least 50% of my ”smell capacity”.
@@Thellbro No way, was that just from spectating?
when i go to the drags about 30 mins to an hour from where i live i dont have to block my ears for most of the cars like to pro mods and all the street cars and blown cars but when the top fuel cars are on i have to block my ears its crazy as shit
Ferrari: *3,9* seconds from 0 to *100* kmh
this weird thing: *3,9* seconds from 0 to *507* kmh
my civic 3,8 :)
I calculated that he would be experiencing 3.7G
By the time the rear tires are to the point his front tires started, he is already going 100MPH.

But can it run crysis?

Antonio let's ask linus to see if he can overclock it to reach 20k 420 fps
wrong video
Maybe, does it have a wumbo setting?
Vtec just kicked in bro
BAHH
Vtec gone mad
Vtec kicked in yo
More than vtec😂
Hahaha that's what I was looking for!!! 😂😂😂😂
i didn't had much appreciation for drag racing since now. theese things are insane.
500 km/h in 4s is just insanity
when you go to see them live, drink lots of beer and stand about half way down track. the beer in your belly will foam out your nose from the sound percussion, and the earth feels like it is moving.
Dumy Jobby imagine being on the street and drag racing and just seeing one of these things next to u.... and then disappear the second you blink
Yeah, if it would hook up, it would make the ULTIMATE foll racer. Fit a double size fuel tank, de-tune it to a mere 5,000 hp, and it'd probably pull a cool 350 odd mph !!!
Typo... roll racer !!
Michael Littlejohn hahahaha did it ever happend to you? hahaha
that could have gone so Richard Hammond
llamedos R 😂😂
Capt. Slow needs to get the ride in a 2 seater ^^
llamedos R ...except for the fact Richard Hammond was in a REAL, unhinged dragster. This guy drove the severely downgraded version. So... not really.
NorthernChev oh buhu. Chill down snowflake.
Not to mention "this guy" (Jason Plato) is also a professional racing driver.
The speed at 5:44 Scared me, Jesus, it looks like someone took a photo of a drag car and just yeeted it away with his mouse
It looks sped up
Nope that's pretty accurate for its speed
Lol the camera couldn't even see it after a while
@@HondaPilot-rs8lz it isn't though. That's the regular speed.
yeah can't beat my 1995 Honda accord.
Prefer the 1992 Ford Taurus
Dragster got no Vtec yo
GoatDotExe Vtec
Your whole vtec engine is only one piston to that dragster☝️
TheGoodKush but can it beat my Chinese fake suspension mountain bicycle?
If you have never been to an NHRA race, and watched Top Fuel cars....you absolutely need to put it on your bucket list. It is one of the most incredible things to see...and feel.
Bob Silver try to tell my friends that all the time and how loud it it. They're always like no I won't need any earplugs. Then until last year I took my friend to Joliet Route 66 raceway in Illinois and he was there for an hour and had anxiety so bad and such a migraine that he wanted to leave. It's no joke LOL
Been doing it for over 50 years now and have loved every minute of it.
Bob Silver 100% correct you can’t even explain how mental, and loud and the power those cars put to the ground is absolutely mind blowing. Like skydiving, you can’t explain it you just have to do it to understand
For just one run, I sat in the front row right next to the starting line for a funny car race. I held my ears as tight as I could and when they took off, the cars shook the bleachers so hard I never saw the actual race
First one for me was back in 2012 at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, GA. I"m up in the stands.......almost at the top of the bank......and my chest gets rattled. The shit is fucking EPIC!!!!!
Is there an adapter kit for my Toyota Sienna? I want to burn nitro-methane instead of Shell regular.
😂 lol same for my suzuki SUV.
You wouldn't. Nitromethane has less energy density than pump gas, meaning you burn more nitromethane to reach the same amount of power. RIP mileage :(
Crow T. Robot yes, i already installed it to ma grandmas civic
I want one for my honda too
But does it fit in your honda?
4:51 WD-40 can fix everything :D
Not wrong :’D
It's literally White Spirit, with propellent. And some perfume!
4:08, the effect of centrifuge force on the pneumatics is crazy, look how they deform!!
Look up slow mo footage of a top fuel launching, the tires actually crinkle up like a piece of crunched up paper, its insane to watch.
Dafuq 0-100 in 0.8 seconds
0-90 but yeah
90 gallons in 0.8 seconds?;)
315 mph in in under 4 seconds... just think 0-60 in 4 seconds is a very fast car.
no 0-60 in 2.8 is a very fast car
thats = to 0-60mph in .76 seconds, thats just insane
Correct me if I am wrong, but suggesting the car has a linear accelartion curve the car would have done 0-60 mph in just 0,77 seconds. Going by the fact the car reached 507 km/h within 3,9 seconds.
These things are just absolute insanity...
illouminati yeah. sounds about right for a top fuel car. they are pretty awesome in person.
Frogbasher damn...yeah I don't know a lot about the drag racing scene. Just made a quick calculation using the numbers given in the video.
I can't even imagine how it would feel inside of such a beast
Attending a top full event is on my bucket list. They are so unbelievable quick it boggles the mind so must be experienced, same as F-1. So facking fast.
danny sulyma it's pretty impressive. Last event I saw was an exhibition called Night Under Fire. It was mostly local racing but there were jet cars, vintage racing, and other stuff. But when the fuel cars run and go past you feel it. And even through 25 db hearing protection they are ungodly loud. I used to want to see an f1 race but way to expensive and Austin is just to much travel. That and f1 is basically unwatchable anymore.
if it accelarated so fast, then it would be somewhat near to 130m/s2 of accelaration. this is 13 times more than gravity,(insanely damn insane). So how did his body handle that amount of force wave acting on it(he would have literally exploded). CAN ANYONE HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS???
If you’re any kind of motor sports fan and you have the chance to see top fuel drag racing live GO! Even if you’re into F1 or NASCAR or whatever, seeing and feeling nitro methane drag cars live is unforgettable.
So they can install a brand new engine in 15 minutes but my dealership takes weeks.
For 65k your dealership will make it a rush job.
Morris Howell even at that price, it still won’t be done in 15 minutes
@@wendellgreenidge3362 these mechanics know what they're doing, most dealerships don't.
@@davejones8811 lol yeah right
@@davejones8811 It's not a matter of these mechanics doing what they're doing. Top fuel cars are designed for be assembled and disassembled in a relatively short period of time, unlike most road cars.
315 mph in about 4 seconds is fucking nuts.
in america some tracks can handle speeds over 350 mph. but they have shortened the track to 1,000 feet to try and cut down injury/death.
deathbastardable ... it's enough to pull the retinas right off the backs of your eyes. True fact that modern drivers have to face.
deathbastardable no fucking shit sherlock.
thats why he wears glasses
wtf's a feet and mph? USE NORMAL MEASUREMENTS
Bugatti Veyron total power... PER CYLINDER!
dickcheese663 and they weigh WAAY less
Now in 2017 they have 11000 hp and upwards
dickcheese663 no bro it has just under twice the amount of power of a Devel Sixteen with 5000horsepower!
On the other hand a vayron doesn't explode as often
BUT you don't have to rebuild the veyron engine every time you drive it lol
LOL. I'm so old. The only drag I went to was in 1977 - BUT for that one opportunity I was blessed to learn Shirley Muldowney was running. She was at the top of her game then. And bonus - Linda Vaughn - Miss Hurst Shifter was there too. She had plenty enough curves and legs to stand out from a long way off in the bleachers. This was like enjoying show=biz as much as it was a race.
Top Fuel then was 2500 HP and top speed of 250 MPH; easy numbers to remember. The shock that sent through my chest cavity way up the bleachers was a total surprise. Every rap of the throttle while staging was another sudden kick in the heart. Great memories.
Its one thing to watch it on the internet but to watch it live is insane. I remember going to watch an nhra event and let me tell you these things send a shockwave that make your body vibrate and feel like your heart is about to stop. If you guys have the chance definately do it its completely worth it.
Not sure I could handle such adrenaline rush. Imagine in the seat waiting for start, already peeing in my pants of fear. Then the blast kicks in and I guess heart stops pumping and brain is pushed back inside the skull.
There is ONE thing faster than a Top Fueler.... John Force's mouth. He has done probably more than a 2,000 runs in his career !!
How would you compare this to a roller coaster?
meme here a roller coaster is a snail
NE 555 you can't unimagine it.
You're welcome
Meme Here well a roller coaster will experience 2 to 3 times the force of gravity. the most daring amusement rides will experience up to 5 gs. The top fuel dragsters will experience 7 to 8 gs. Something around 3 times more than a roller coaster
Mind blown... everything blown... no words... just WOW
Engine blown too...
my dick blew itself
i have poo and penis, poo poos, penis blows
is okay bibbly bobbly my peepee is wobbly
i race jr. dragsters, and i still nearly piss my pants each time, yeah top fuel dragsters are some real shit
I had the chance to stand between 2 top fuel cars launching in las Vegas once. Your entire body reverberates internaly from the shockwaves of the sound pulses during the launch. Everything Plato said is true. He is not overdoing it for tv drama. The look on his face and body reactions are very real. You will notice camera man flinch and Jason flinch Then he's just out of it as all of his senses are trying to find normal again. you feel all weird like your organs got slapped around for about a min after. Its is an amazing experience. If you go to a top fuel race sit in stands closest to the start and as close to the track as possible for a bit to get a feeling of Jasons experience. you will be far away compared to him but you still feel it about a third as much Then go as far down track as possible for the experience to see them speed by you. Experts estimate Top Fuel cars can reach over 150 decibels, a level that can cause physical damage to the eardrum. For comparison's sake, a typical rock-concert is about 104 to 120 decibels. space shuttle 215 at the launch pad.
Tesla roadster: i can drive 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds
Weird thing: hold my beer
What is it's top speed though, many cars are faster and don't have to find a charging station once it is out of energy.
0 to 60 in 1.9 secs? lol thats old buddy lol
Tesla: all the miles per gallon
Top Fuel: 90 gallons per Mile
What’s the 60-200 mph times in a Tesla? This needs about 1,5 sec. 😉
kotd009 for $200k though
My Honda Civic hatchback is faster
Arman Gill Yeah
Yeah this dragster doesn't have a Vtec
thats the power of vtak yo
VTEC kicks in mate ajahha
Angel Gutierrez hah, your car is just part of the piston in the drag car
The really amazing thing to see is when they blow their engines on the line and still run 12 second quarter mile times. The amount of power they put down instantly is insane.
They idle at 80mph too.
I'll leave this note for myself for the next 10 000 times I'm gonna come back to re-watch this 5:35
sleepyIC thank you for this
What set of decisions must one make in life to end up in the seat of that vehicle?
some fairly sketchy ones
I have been an avid fan of NHRA drag racing most of the 64 years of my life. If I were 30 years younger and I was given the opportunity to pilot (you don't drive them) these cars I would do so in a heartbeat. They are the fastest accelerating machines operated by a human being on earth. This is an old video and most T/F and F/C machines are pushing between 11,000 and 12,000 HP now. I am going to the NHRA 4 Wide Nationals @ the ZMax track in Charlotte, NC next year. Can't wait.
From Starlight To Sunrise all the right ones
Decisions? Nah, born in a filthy rich family...
@@christopherbuck3276 How much hrsprs is it now? 20k?
I've seen people tear up, and almost cry at the insane amount of involuntary bodily reactions the first time you're close to top fuel racers(crazier than this!), lol. it really is something you won't forget. it's similar to being inside one of the hardest hitting bass setups ever, but 100 times more effective, being that close without ear protection is silly, and maybe even stupid, but I'm sure he wanted the full effect, lol.
ear protection for the first time is for pussies.... ear protection for a hundred times = very smart person
If you watched closely he did have ear plugs in.
It IS One of The Most Punishing Sports For Spectators, Being Close to the Cars!!!.....And The Fumes Can Kill You!!!
@@Ralothael If your ear plug is even slightly out of place you will feel it next to these things. You need to have over ear or at least use your hands as well (which he did).
@@DM0407 need to double bag it (plugs and headgear) Fuck losing your hearing. Thats what I do when shooting bigger caliber guns.
Having seen Top Fuel race in reality its just insane how fast the take off. When i first saw it for real i didnt understand how it was physically possible...
4:32 look at how proud he is that it was that expensive.
5:44 that was the most amazing thing i have ever seen
But can it drift?
AnonyM8s I get the joke, but as a matter of fact that's what it does for the entire 1/4 mile. They never get 100% grip at any point. Maybe 97-99 but that's it.
AnonyM8s please
well then it's just a really long burnout. as long as it doesn't go sideways, it doesn't drift.
it can, but get ready to fly into the air and slam ur head into the ground
Actually, yes! But only like this...
th-cam.com/video/aibmnB0F780/w-d-xo.html
the 8000hp fuckers..like i dont know how to describe it but everything was shaking when they took off
My mind blew up just like that 65000 dollar engine.
f1 engines are twice that.
White mage Twice as expensive? Formula One engines cost millions each
about 20 skilled engineers should have that back together in about 20 minutes. Your brain on the other hand...

@@Ashish-er4kz Umm, true. But I say the fastest not accelerate the fastest.

"i'm going home"
so he's not buying the rounds like he promised
4:04 315mph!! That's the top wind speed of the most powerful tornado in history
The biggest drag meet in the world is the Indy Nationals. The first time I went was 1969, the year I graduated high school. I have been going every so often for the last almost 50 years. I try to take someone who has never seen AA/fuel before, and it always blows their mind. You can feel the noise in your body, and as they launch on a run the view becomes stroboscopic, the horrendous noise and vibration seems to literally shake your eyeballs. Once a year is good enough for me, but it's a racing fix unlike any other that I've ever experienced.
jason's run was actually 1/8 mile and kph, not 1/4 mile and mph as he said.
he let off the throttle at half track (1/8 mile),
Michael Littlejohn ya and only 1/8 time was recorded. that motor was not capable of running 5.2 in the 1/4.
not even close. To be honest 5.20 in the 8th is only 8.27 in the 1/4...hes literally going twice as slow as a top fuel.
True. Super comp cars are 8 second cars.
Michael Littlejohn no he let off at 330
Currently, I am racing a Top Fuel Dragster in Europe. It's the most insane thing a have ever done in the whole of my life! By the way: it's not that loud inside the car! :-)
What spec is the motor ? Tell me, Schumacher
@@markmark2080 bro.... He is racing top fuel dragsters in Europe... He has trained weeks for this. He didn't start in gokarts and progress through circuit racing and trials racing and then juniors drag meets.. he went straight from riding a push bike , to racing 2000horsepower nitro powered dragsters. By the way, it isn't loud having a nitro injected ,blown big block exploding right behind your head at 10000+ rpm. It's actually really smooth and quiet. A bit like a Tesla. 😆
@@markmark2080 right on brother 🤙😎 if ya know, ya know 👍 ps- I'm sure back in 63', that would have been something special. What an era to be alive. I envy you. I was born in 82, so I'm a few years behind you.. one thing's for sure, we all catch up eventually tho 😁 take care mate and best of health. Long live horsepower ✌️
That’s staggering acceleration! I don’t think I could concentrate and relax enough to do it. I’d be so startled by the g force I think I’d freeze
If you ever have a chance to go to see a top fuel car up close you need to go. The feeling and sound is literally indescribable. I've never felt sound in all the cavities of my body.
He lied, he didn't run a 5 in the 1/4 at 176mph, that was a 5 in the 1/8 at 176kph.
we need this more in the UK
Santa Pod
Santapod Raceway near Northampton, back up there in September, £75 in advance for the full 4days of amazingness :)
Will be an amazing weekend and i'll certainly be there
llamedos R Santa Pod I've seen over 315 there on a warm day. You must go it's fantastic and need more support
I am so happy to see you guys come to us and have fun
Like he said, if you haven't physically been at a drag track when those fuellers launch, you can't imagine how it feels. It's like the sound goes right through your body, and the whole place shakes. You can see people there for the first time almost jump out of their skin :) It really is insane - if you like it on TV, or here, you really should see it live!
There is NOTHING like standing next to a TOP FUELED MONSTER when it is unleashed.
@2:40
Um..."completed the 1/4 mile in 5.2 seconds..."
Clearly he meant 1/8 mile.
no hes right
yeah. super comp dragsters run around the 8.90@207mph in the 1/4 mile. so that number was definitely 1/8th.
207mph on an 8.90 index is not typical by a long shot. sometimes you see a 170mph.
I think you are thinking of competition eliminator rather than super comp. Competition eliminator has tons of cars that will run in the 7s with a number that run in the 6's.
He bullshitted through the whole project. He also said he passed the line at '173 MPH' but when the Top Fuel dragster passed the line, it was KPH...
The guy basically tried to make himself sound like a badass.
Look at my post above!
Also considering he pedalled too .. not a chance in hell it was a 1/4. Our dragster runs 7.30's at around 183mph. On a full pass , So its just not possible he could lift, loose the speed and still run a 5.2 at 173 .. would need to be going WAY faster to regain the lost time
The first time I experienced these was about 30 years ago. A friend of mine was dating one of the Mobil 1 team mechanics.
I found myself sitting on top of the hospitality truck. The thing shook as these cars went by. It was such a good day
Awesome!
No matter who you are, weekend machine builder, plumber, engineer, father, son or drag racing mechanics.

Hammond: well there you go its gone
Fifth gear was great with Jason .
Accurately portrays how surreal top fuel is
Dude have you ever felt like you need to be going 507 kmh in a quarter a mile cause i haven't
*When you Get the Starting Boost in Mario Kart **5:44*
I never saw this episode.. Great stuff. Too bad 5th gear isn't on in the USA anymore.
BWX sadly it's cancelled hopefully it comes back,
Sometimes our friends across the ponds just don't quite fully appreciate what these machines can do and how powerful they are until they meet one in person.
I've been told that the acoustic energy coming out of each cylinder, each time the exhust valve opens, is equivalent to a 12 guage shotgun blast....and that's when the thing is idling.
in the US, in the nhra they are setting records left and right. The new speed record for the funny car speed is 338mph at 3.80 in 1000 feet. set out in topeka, kansas
3.62 is for the Top Fuel Dragster. Austin is talking about Top Fuel Funnycar.
Imagine how hot the engine was when he reached 507 kmh
@@andrewt.5567 Lol!!! Someone from the united terrorists of america calling somebody else a terrorist??? How ironic??? 😕😕😕
It’s already blows up by then, they rebuild them every pass
Almost as quick as my Volvo.
They didn't mention it, but if you pause atbthe right place, you can see the specifics about him not going as fast. In that final run, he reached 451.12 kph in 3.970 seconds
Shout out to fifth gear for putting some respect on drag racings name. Been in it all my life, it's not easy.
I live in south florida,usa. sea level at my local track(PBIR) is less than ten feet, during the winter or citrus nationals, dragsters attain some of the highest speeds ever, and I have been a drag racing fan since the 70's and nothing makes the earth rumble like 20,000 horsepower exploding in front of you, that's what it is , a controlled high explosion.
Michael Littlejohn i was confused at first by you saying 20k horsepower and then i realized, oh yeah, 2 cars.
gotta love that the most powerful vehicle is powered by an old class v8
Cam placement and number or valves don't make horsepower directly, but displacement does. American style pushrod V8s are some of the most power dense engines for their external size and weight in the world. You won't find another design that can pack as much power building displacement into such a small cube, naturallying aspirated or on power adders.
Didn't really understand how fast these things went until 5:44 , before that, all i could see was crazy numbers. To have it visualized just blew my mind.
I love the respect between racing drivers regardless of series or racing they do. Can't be said for the fans!
first of all you where only raced to the 660 foot (200 metres) and secondly Rod was only racing to the 1000 foot (300 metres). but i couldn't help hear that you said he was the first top fuel over 500kph, because in both Australia and New Zealand have reached that speed along time ago.
Mr_Voxx I think he meant 500 kph in the 1000 ft. Aid and NZ still run the 1/4 mile, hence higher trap speeds.
LOCO Fiesta I know but fithgear said they where the first car out side the us to do those speeds
They are talking about 1000ft but they kept repeating 1/4 mile and to those who don't know drag racing it can and will confuse them
Yeah they should've been more clear
Mr_Voxx, great observation... people are commenting about the "insanity", and I don't think they know the 1,000ft vs quarter mile which is in fact 1,320ft. Poor reference in the video to the event being a quarter mile, of which the record is now 4.485s. Even at the 1,000ft mark, some top fuel dragsters cross 320mph (515kmh). More nonsense about hitting 500kmh. This video is a slap in the face to any uninitiated person in the drag sport. #hugedislike
This is so endlessly dumb but I love it.
New bucket list item. Stand trackside in a top fuel race. Dude couldn't keep character while trying to talk and all he did was stand there. That would be awesome
Jason has one of the best reactions to a Top Fuel dragster I've ever seen. I had much of the same feeling the first time I saw one at a race, it is frighting just to watch them go down the track, I could not imagine strapping my self in to that thing, it is literally a barely contained bomb.
Imagine cooking a whole chicken on each one of those exhaust pipes
Even that chicken would do 0-100 in a second or so
Tbh driving a Jr dragster is really fun. But I can only go 85 till I turn 14😂
LOOK AT THE WHEELS AT 4:09
THEY CHANGE SHAPE SO MUCH XD
4:10 is amazing. Just watching the tires come back to normal shape after they're done compressing and trying to shed themselves off of the wheels!
I love how completely fucking nonchalant that guy is.

"That man..."

Yea, people never give drag racing enough credit. No video game can simulate it properly, it's such a defiance of physics.
Your rib cages rattles itself to pieces when one of this cars is nearby running.
So they can simulate jet fighters but not dragsters? I think it’s because some people, not all, will get bored of just quarter mile drag racing in a simulation. It would be good as a trainer for the real thing.
Beam ng drive.
No ones gonna talk about 4:36? Okay..
Awkward moments
If you havent seen one of these in person you cannot grasp just how powerful they are. Highly reccommend going to a drag race. They make your eyeballs shake
I've done 200MPH about 340 KPH in my McLaren.

Funny this Tiff Drove a Top Fueler on Top Gear scared the living daylights out of him
5:46 when yo girl wanna see ur phone
Lamattina’s top qualifying pass of 4.56sec elevated him ahead of Phil
Read to be the quickest Australian-resident driver and just short of
Australia’s quickest quarter-mile time of 4.503sec by American Larry
Dixon. Another honour achieved by Lamattina during the weekend was in
setting the track Top Fuel speed record at 327.98mph (527.83km/h).
June 2014 so either this is an old video or the guy from 5th gear doesn't know what he's talking about
I know this was posted in 2016 but does Jason not know that Santa Pod in the U.K. exists?
The speed record for the 1/4 mile there is 621km/h at 3.85 seconds.
They also have two seater dragsters and the 8000hp Top Fuel cars as the European finals are held there.
Why did they fly to Dubai when they could have advertised a U.K. company?
Brand new engine installed in just 15 minutes. 😶
4:11 look at the tires
I was right by the strip at Sonoma for their NHRA finals. I didn't wear ear protection for the first run (They ran the Top Fuels first) that was a mistake. And it feels like you're getting fucking tear gassed from the Nitromethane.
The shock wave from the exhaust as it goes past will shake every part of your body! Love Top Fuel!
BTW, new mph record now stands at 338. No idea what that figures to in kph.
My 02 Corolla gets 35 mpg combined tho...
Engine builder = many buff horses should the engine make
Racer= yes
Well the fact is , you cant blink or breathe during the run is testament how many G you pull on Acceleration leave alone the reverse when you pull the chute and its worse negative G. The extra fuel pump is enable after the burnout and the throttle blocks are removed
Gr8mate13 absolutely nothing is easy at 8G, the people who think you just point it in a straight line really are wide of the mark.
These things get off faster than the steam catapult on a Aircraft Carrier for launching Jets !! I truly respect the Top Fuel Dragsters !
for American vewiers the record was 315 miles per hour
for english speakers he was supposed to write "viewers"
No kidding dick head we know that
Record is now 338 mph in the 1/4
