Come on people, this will be a great oppourtunity to see and feel the best in Drag Racing that Australia has to offer. If you haven't experienced a top fuel dragster at full tilt you haven't lived a true revhead life. :whistling:

^^^ As Charlie said..........just don't do what we did last time... standing in the pits directly behind as they fired up and revved after the "quick rebuild" .... I still cant hear properly!

Anna, I've done that before....it's awesome!

But I'm half deaf anyway :D

lol im half deaf too now! ... yeah nothing like your vision blurring from your eyes rattling in your head with tears streaming down your face from the fumes and your throat being stripped everytime you breathe! :):D

The Drags just get everything moving inside. They take off with 6000 + horse power, At 0.9 of a second they are already doing 100km's an hour, the clutch slips and does not fully engage in top gear until about 3/4 track, when the tyres flare up the circumfrence is 3 metres so they only turn roughly 135 times to the line, and then it's all over in about 4.5 - 5 seconds. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD :D

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
