A good video on Top Fuel drag cars.
The acceleration is stunning.
0 – 100 km/h in just over half a second.
0 – 200 km/h in just under two seconds.
0 – 500 km/h in about 3.5 seconds.

So that’s about 5g acceleration for the first half sec.

How do they transmit the required force to the ground without slipping?
