The fastest Top Fuel Nitro Funny Car run ever was 333.58 MPH in 4.665 seconds. The fast Top Fuel record is 336.45 MPH. And the quickest Top Fuel elapsed time is 4.441 seconds for the quarter mile. I pulled these figures off nitrofuelers.com.
Anyway, I saw my friend's wife's car, the CEN Mini Cooper, and got to drive it, too. I a complete newbie to all this stuff, but I'd have to say that car is pretty easy to drive. It's still not fully broken in, but it moves pretty good. It handles so incredibly well. I guess that's typical of 4wd cars. It was so awesome sliding around turns in an easily controlled fashion. It's almost like driving one of those cars in the Play Station Games, like Grand Tourismo. It brakes on a dime, too. For parking lots, that thing is awesome. Hearing it shift gears is a small rush in itself. It was way more fun than his nitro Evader, at least in the parking lot. You can't really gas his Evader because it just wheelies itself into a back flip. If you get it up to speed first, you can gas it, but the high school parking lot that we're using just isn't big enough. I'm still going to get the Jato, though, although in the future I might end up picking one of those things up, too.
