Producing 6000 horsepower Top Fuel cars are the most powerful dragsters. They are difficult to capture at speed and this was the best shot I got of one at Santa Pod Raceway last year. The car is doing about 240mph at this point and it is interesting to note the exhaust flames and tyre distortion which shows that it is still trying to spin the wheels even at this speed. (Re-post as I have just found the 1600x1200 version)

Very, very few other inventions by man accelerate and travel faster from a dead stop in 1320 ft. of pavement than a Nitro burning AA Fueler! Such a shot is extremely difficult to capture! IT WAS A WHALE OF A GOOD TAKE -- THAT ONE, PERIOD!! These rockets go at speeds of 320 plus mph and in the 4.5 second range. How did you get such a clean shot? Incredible! My hats off to you!! /irkstl

I had to make an addendum! As others said, it's an absolute 10! Check out how the torque has tweaked the alignment of the air intake and the thus the engine from the rest of the car!

Show the world to the world
An incredible shot, i took one similar to this, and i found it looked a little bit better if i cropped the top and bottom just a bit.
10!
