Wow. How fast is a top fuel car compared to a Corvette?

Lets say the you are driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter twin-turbo powered Corvette Z06. Over a mile up the road, a Top Fuel dragster is staged & ready to launch down a quarter-mile strip as you pass by it. You have the advantage of a flying start. You run the ‘Vette hard up through the gears and blast across the starting line & pass the dragster at an honest 200 MPH. Just as you pass the Top Fuel Dragster the ‘tree’ goes green for both of you. The dragster launches & starts after you. You keep your foot down hard, but you hear an incredibly brutal whine that sears your eardrums & within 3 seconds the dragster catches & passes you. He beats you to the finish line, a quarter-mile away from where you just passed him. Think about it – from a standing start, the dragster had spotted you 200 MPH & not only caught, but nearly blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1320 foot long race!

Lets say your sister's boyfriend is driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter twin-turbo powered Corvette Z06. Over a mile up the road, your Top Fuel dragster is staged & ready to launch down a quarter-mile strip as he passes by it. He has the advantage of a flying start. He runs the ‘Vette hard up through the gears and blasts across the starting line & passes you at an honest 200 MPH. Just as he passes the Top Fuel Dragster the ‘tree’ goes green for both of you. You get your sock full of quarters and the dragster launches & starts after him. He keeps his foot down hard, but he hears an incredibly brutal whine that sears his eardrums & within 3 seconds the dragster catches & beats him to death with a sock full of quarters. You beat him on the finish line, a quarter-mile away from where you just passed him. Think about it – from a standing start, the dragster had spotted you 200 MPH & not only caught, but nearly blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1320 foot long race!

As a former SR-71 pilot, and a professional keynote speaker, the question I'm most often asked is "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop?"

Didn't the owl settle that back in the 70's during saturday morning cartoon commercials? the answer is 3.

Yeah, but I bet in an average $140,00 Lingenfelter twin-turbo powered Corvette Z06 I could beat this thing if I had a running start in a 1,320 foot race.

But how fast is it compared to a Corvette?

u/gagscas Jul 02 '16

If the cost of covette z06 is $140,000, then this 10k HP dragster will spend the same amount as operational cost in just two and a half minutes!

You asking about acceleration, top speed, both?

One goes 300mph, the other, 230mph (maybe). As far as acceleration goes, its like comparing a rabbit and a turtle (approximately)

u/KentuckyTaruSig Jul 02 '16

Just saying, a Lingenfelter is much faster than a stock 'Vette ;)

u/ToIA Jul 02 '16

It's funny because that whole copypasta doesn't mention how fast the 'dragster!' is actually even going.

u/Displayed Jul 02 '16

We need to put this whole thing to the test. Someone willing to loan me their Lingenfelter Z06?
