Horse Powers

As for the horse powers the situation is different when talking about the street racing and drag racing. As you know, drag racing is something different from street racing. The drag racer has to overcome the short distance and the main task for him us to develop the greatest speed in the shortest period of time, and this is where the horse powers are of great importance.

In most cases, drag racers have something about five or six thousands of horse powers under their bonnets. Those are the most powerful cars you may ever see. It is important for drag racer because he has no time to develop the speed; he has to do it at once. So, a drag racer needs no more than 0,5 seconds in order to develop speed that makes 300 km/h.

As for the street racing they pay more attention to exterior of their cars. You will never see car more beautiful than a car of street racer. They also care about stuff that is under bonnet though they usually never have cars of the same capacity with drag racers. In most cases a car of street racer has up to one hundred of horse powers under the bonnet.

Such a demonic engine can not be feed with common gasoline and so in most cases those engines a feed with nitrous oxide. As for the drug racing it usually takes about 50 litters for one race. And street racing is more spering from this point of view.
