If you've never seen a Nitro Funny Car, this will be difficult to explain. If you've only seen them on TV, you still have no idea what an assault on the senses they really are.
The exhaust burns your eyes and nostrils, to the point that you can taste the exhaust for the next day or two.
The exhaust is rated at 155dB, which is louder than a 9mm gunshot (only 145 dB) or a fighter jet leaving the deck of an aircraft carrier (140 dB).
The fastest Ferrari / Lamborghini / Bugatti / Koeniggsegg / etc, can accelerate from 0-60mph in 2.5 to 2.9 seconds. This car does 0-60mph in less than 1 second.
Each single cylinder in it's V-8, produces more horsepower than the entire v-12 in a Ferrari 599.
Imagine an abandoned runway. Paint a finish line near the end. Take your choice of the fastest street cars (Ferrari, Lambo, etc), and start 1/2 mile away. We'll sit in our Nitro Car 1/4 mile from the finish line. Let the Ferrari accelerate as fast as it can, and it should be doing +/- 125mph when it passes us at the 1/4 mile marker, signalling our light to go green. Not only will we beat it to the finish line, we'll pass it doing over 100 MPH faster than it's going.
Yeah, it's that fast. If you've never seen a Nitro Funny Car in person, you really need to. It's hard to describe, but it's an experience you'll never forget.

Here's an 8 minute mashup of some clips of us getting our Nitro Funny Car ready to travel through the Caribbean, promoting our company, and Antigua.
If you're not familiar with a Nitro Car, it's something you need to see to believe. Powered by an 8.2L Hemi V8, producing 4000 - 5000 HP. On launch, she'll make an ear-splitting 155 dB, accelerating the car from 0-60 in less than 1 second. 1/4 mile times of 5.7 seconds at 270 MPH, 1/8 mile times of 3.85 seconds at 180 MPH.
He doesn't get much work done, but he's a ton of laughs to have around. Here, Kyle "Bob" Hodge is trying to explain what makes a Nitro Funny Car so special.
Here you can see the Leeward Islands Hurricane team, in conjunction with our sister company Sign Pro, renovating our 48' Race Hauler. It took close to 6 months to complete, and we couldn't be more proud of the way it turned out.
Just a few clips of us warming up the Fire breathing monster, getting ready for our first launch.
We did a 30 minute interview on English Harbour Radio. Here, we talk about the Nitro Car, the race boats, and our new Rally-X car.
After only a couple dozen takes, we were able to get Kyle through a full 3 minutes of technical details about the Nitro Funny Car.
