There was a really fantastic article in Road and Track a couple months back about drag racing. They compared a whole slew of vehicles in quarter-mile tests, everything from slightly-modified stock vehicles all the way up to Top Fuel. They also got into the intricacies of how these cars (and one motorcycle) turn energy into acceleration, and it was very fascinating. Some of the numbers produced by the top-fuelers were staggering in comparison to real-world vehicles. Did anyone catch that article?
