#3 No duh, that is what drag racing is all about. But with so much horsepower he could probably change gearing and tires and also beat the Veyron on top-end.
The title had previously been held by the UK 's Andy Frost.

#10 Thanks for watching the whole vid... :)
Others.....
The question had always been what constitutes the fastest street legal drag racing car, so Hotrod magazine started this event to give racers the chance to prove themselves.
By the rules the cars are raced at four different tracks over a five day period that are hundreds of miles apart and they must be driven to all the tracks, no trailering allowed and no crew help. The racer 's 1/4 mile times are recorded and the car with the quickest average time is declared the champ. That is what makes this such a big deal to drag racers and fans.
