Funny car at supermarket

FritoBandito · 10-12-2005, 05:33 PM

Today at a local supermarket, the team Schumacer, NHRA, Ron Capps driven funny car was on display in the parking lot. This thing was freekin bad. Just looking at the thing, you could tell you'd piss 'em the first time yu drove it. I had never seen a funny car up close but it was awesome. The header tubes had to be at least 3" in diameter. They gave out spec sheets on the car. (sorry in advance for no pics.)

You know it takes 13 gallons of fuel to run that car down the 1/4?
Talk about fuel consumption...

You should hear and smell them up close. Youll go deaf and get high at the same time.

I'd like to take this down the track one time

*madmatt* · 10-13-2005, 04:46 AM

Not me, Id have to clean myself up after I crapped my pants and then the poo climbed back up inside because it was just as scared...they sure are cool to watch though.

MattJ · 10-13-2005, 05:43 AM

If I had the chance I dont think id be doing 300mph like they do.

FritoBandito · 10-13-2005, 05:50 AM

+1, I think I'd do just a 150-ish miles per hour run to get used to it. I forgot to mention that this thing had 2 spark plugs per cylinder.

I saw one of those at Moroso last weekend...
