ACCELERAZIONE

è in inglese, ma chi mastica un po' la lingua anglosassone, non farà fatica a capire di che si sta parlando.
Quello che mi fa impressione, è invece la parte finale, dove parla della z06 twinturbo che passa la linea a 200mph, e in quell'istante parte il dragster........ da brividi !!!!
QUESTA E' L'ACCELERAZIONE !!!!!!!!!!!


> * One Top Fuel dragster 500 cubic inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower
> than the first 4 rows at the Daytona 500.
> * Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1-1/2 gallons of
> nitromethane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same
> rate with 25% less energy being produced.
>
> * A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to drive the

> * With 3000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive,
the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ignition.
Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock at full throttle.

> * At the stoichiometric (stoichiometry: methodology and technology by which
> quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions are determined)
> 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture for nitromethane the flame front
>
> temperature measures 7050 degrees F.
> * Nitromethane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the
> stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric
water vapor by the searing exhaust gases.
>
> * Dual magnetos supply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of
an arc welder in each cylinder.
> * Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After ½ way,
the engine is dieseling from compression plus the glow of exhaust valves at
1400 degrees F. The engine can only be shut down by cutting the fuel flow.

the launch acceleration approaches 8G's.

Mamma mia come sto!!![:0][:0][:0]

Deve essere una sensazione incredibile provare un'accelerazione del genere.

Provabilmente quando ti rendi conto che la stai provando sei già arrivato alla fine![:p][:p][:p][:p]

Aspita....
Quasi come me al quinto jack che vedo entrare nel locale la donna della mia vita (per quel fine settimana)...
:D

Si parla di mezzo secondo per fare da 0 a 100 kmh con un Top Fuel del genere!!! Roba da matti..... un gallone e mezzo di carburante in un secondo.... pazzesco, sei seduto su una bomba atomica e hai il volante per guidarla!!!

[:0][:0][:0];)

Dovevate vedere a tourtmann quello seduto con la turbina che entrava nell'abitacolo...da pelle d'oca
