Engines in dragsters are also know to have very high power comparing to engine size, but they also make less than 10k rotations at full power before they fail. That is enough to last one drag race which is several seconds.


The top fuel record is around 3.5 seconds and at 9500rpm is around 600 revolutions for the whole race!
