8,000… is that a typo?

A real YANK TANK!

serious question: i still don’t get why they’re called funny cars
Pit crew member just running behind it with a can of juice to refuel. Every 20 seconds.
This bad boy turned those lovely British gents into Americans 🇺🇸🤜🏼🤛🏼🇬🇧
I've never heard such ignorant upper class commentary. They've absolutely no idea of what they're looking at. Reminds me of the BBC when a newscaster mentioned an Ali G movie, "In Daahhh House".
why do these people bother with the silly Mustang stick-on facia? Do they honestly think that someone will look at it and say "wow! look at that mustang!" ?
Funny car racing is not funny what so ever. Imagine you are sitting still and suddenly goes to 100 in less than 1 second, that’s not what I call funny.
bro…why even post this if you're not gonna show it going down the track?lol wastin my time haha
Why did they pour water on the floor. this probably makes me sound silly but please tell me
oh its a couple thousand horse power….
lol no bro its like 5 times that.
this doesn't look like the dragstrip, oh well, i'll just drive through anyway
I remember being 5 when i saw my first funny car race in Houston, and I distinctly remember the feeling of my teeth vibrating against each other when it made a pass.
Big brain car
Did he say a couple thousand hp? What a pleb
cant go to a drag strip, they shut them all and built apartments!
MERICA!
That is awesome
Pffftt my corsa does 0-100 in 3-5 business days
Are this engine really from real Ford Mustang ? I saw another documentary if all Drag engine are made from Tuners not from any company manufactures
These things are impossibly loud. I've been to F1 races, I've seen the A1GP live, this is a different kind of loud.
Looks to be a fairly old funny car, probably not making the power that the modern day stuff does.
Dragster at the wrong gig
"Ford mustang" seriously?
dafak
What V6 Mustang owners think they drive
The British announcers are doing their best to explain this, but it seems like a UFO to them.
1:40 See the Photographer's hat flying? That's the exhaust. Yeah. It's nuts.
On a really top flight engine in TF, using a electronic torque coupling, torque was measured and thus power was figured to be in the 11,000 HP neighborhood
Awesome.
..Have I ever used that word more appropriately 😀
And people think these engines are ruined after one run…. Nope
What’s the point?
Anyone comparing these to another car has clearly never seen them in real life.
Someone heard "it can't even turn" once too many ahahah
Watch a Top Fuel or Funny car race from behind. They go anything but straight.. Its not just see Green, slam the loud peddle to the floor and hope the thing stops before the sand trap…
1:23
1:15
1:40 the cap of the photographer on the left
Damn, that car makes my ear blow 😂
wow amazing alot of dragsters are 12000hp
Why cant I see a dragrase in this video? I would eprishiate it. 🙂
Oh no..the modern day funny cars and top fuel dragsters in the U.S.A. have engines that put out 12,000 horsepower and go in excess of 350 mph. They are literally ground shakers. I go every year to see them when they come to my town.
Wish NHRA fuel funny cars smoked the tires like this car. Very cool !!
My grandparents took me to the drag races in Seattle when I was in the 5th grade or so. My grandpa till the day he died laughed and told the story of the first time I head one start up in the pit area 😂. “You must hand jumped 3 feet off the ground”. I still try to get naysayers to go to an NHRA event it’s truly breathtaking.
Didn't expect for a Funny car to show up on goodwood

Road racin in a Funny Car, now that's what I call FUNNY! 👍🇺🇸
Everyone should go and see these run live. The noise, acceleration and sheer excitement makes the super cars look and sound like a bag of farts. These are on a different level.
