Default Funny car at supermarket

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 **** '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.

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