yeah definitely dhould have used a drag bike. But that F1 cars sound is intoxicating. I cant believe how fast it took of after say about 150-200ft. Thats incredible.

The boat was just stupid. Its on water, and more than likely cant reach 100mph. I think those race boats do though. Maybe they should have used that.

The single-engine Honda outboard was simply outclassed. OK it was an all-Honda publicity stunt, but still . . . a small stock offshore racer?

Wanna drag? How's a 5.23 ET and a 215mph trap speed strike you? . . . in a prelim? With ONE piston engine in a medium 800 times more dense than air?

or mid-5's at 230?

STILL wanna drag? Thought not . . .

Yeah, I'd thought they use one of the higher powered hyrdroplane boats but then you'd have to get Top Fuel dragster .

Still that F1 car has some crazy acceleration.
