This piece of news is dedicated to a funny car, but we can assure you that it is as serious as it can be. You'd better watch the funny car on the right of the drag strip closely, as you're about to see a 3.995 run at 316 mph (508 km/h).
What is the big deal? Well, such a time is perfectly normal... for a Top Fuel dragster, but when the aforementioned racer achieved it this weekend, it set a new record for its class.
The feat took place at the zMAX Dragway in North Carolina, which came with a fresh track surface and cool air, which is more dense and allows the engine to deliver more muscle.
