That’s only 1000hp…
One of the things haven't seen anyone address during this riveting conversation about horsepower is, the parasitic draw just to spin a top fuel blower is almost 1000hp. It would take everything an SRT Demon 170 engine could do just to spin the blower for a top fuel car.

I was going to, but didn’t lol
 
Holy crap….

Look at this one:



$56k for a Hyundai battery!!! whoa

I'm curious about this from a lenders standpoint. Say your POS EV battery takes a shit. Costs 30-40k for a replacement......which you can't afford, yet the car payments keep rolling in. You say fuck it and let the bank repo the POS and your credit rating goes to shit. WTF are they gonna do with a basically worthless vehicle that no one wants to buy? I'm surprised banks want any part of these.

The banks not gonna care if anybody buys it or not.
What they’re gonna do is sue the fuck out of the owner and get their money.

I haven’t been to a drag boat race since I lived in SoCal. I think they use to run them at Lake Elsinore, but it’s been a while, I think back in the late 70’s early 80’s? Eddie Hill was my favorite, as he ran both TF boats and cars. God I’m old……🤦‍♂️

Well akshoelly, it was mentioned as one of the items in the whole top fuel racing list of facts posted by somebody earlier in the thread. But they didn’t provide the lovely picture and video. 😁

Looking for investors. Designing new camouflage that has a proven track record. The first release will be camouflage patterned after twist ties (like on a loaf of bread). Everytime I remove one I cannot find it. Following that release will be camouflage patterned after 10mm sockets. I see big government contracts in our future. Open to other ideas. lol.
Here is a 10mm socket that you may have a harder time loosing.
You cant use the socket but you probably wont loose it.
 
Depictions of children are covered in the laws. They could be pencil drawings and still qualify.
I was wondering. Thanks for verifying that. How do they determine what qualifies as "child pron"? Obviously there's the obvious. But what if someone says "she looks 16" and someone else says, "no, she looks 19."?
