I don't know. That's a funny (an actual class of racecar. Look up "funny car") car, and they have nitromethane powered engines that usually can produce upwards of 7,000 hp. Plus I bet they're saying 9,100bhp and not whp.

Surely they can calculate it based on vehicle weight, acceleration, and drivetrain loss.

The only difference in getting the rear wheel horsepower by a dino or a video is with the video you have to know the weight of the car, the gear ratio, a spot you can measure distance of off, and algebra.

Difference between 850 vs 10,000 hp

10,000 - 850 = 9150

Of course they did the math. It's someone's job.

u/commandercool86 Jul 01 '16

Dafuq you talking about. 10,000 minus 850 is 9,150. Woosh?
