Camaro Sticks Landing After Going Airborne

moonsammy says...

I'm not certain I've seen a better drag racing video, or possibly even auto-related in general. Absolutely love that it gains altitude after the initial launch, presumably due to the speed, shape, and angle of attack causing it to act as a goddamn WING for a brief time. It would still be cool even with a crash after, but the lack of one, for a change, makes it drastically better!

Top Fuel Virgin

Nexxus says...

I know it's kind of redneck-y but everyone should experience a top fuel drag race at least once. The amount of noise and power being produced will leave you in awe.

Watch A Beetle Spank A V8 Mustang At The Dragstrip

Weight distribution is just as important too. the beetle has the engine right at the back sot he weight is over the driven wheels. Very little weight up front and the body is relatively tall. That means from the start the rear wheels grip and bite hard, then any weight shift as the car accelerates and the front lifts puts more weight to the rear axle meaning even more grip. Beetles win drag races in the first 20m or so. As you can see in this video the difference in speed in the first second or two is massive. Stop the video at 39 seconds and you'll see in that first launch the beetle has gone twice as far as the mustang. That speed difference that early on is very hard to catch up.

Not the best run for either car, but a clear example of power/weight being the most important measurement to consider when thinking about pure acceleration.

As per this *related=http://videosift.com/video/home-made-70hp-Rat-Bike-vs-180-HP-CBR1000-Drag-Racing video, low end torque is quite important too. Doesn't matter what your peak power output is if you don't get it until after your opponent is over the line.

Watch dragsters blow up in slo-mo

rich_magnet says...

This is a great video of silly cars burning photogenically. What shocked me, however, is that it's a *commercial for a drag racing event. That's the main attraction: cars burning and exploding? Yikes.
