For a stock-weight hatchback Gen2 Escort (2395lbs) to run a quarter mile in one second, it would only need 473,362 horsepower. Doesn't that make you feel all fuzzy inside?

I work at this place where we make a phenomenal amount of power. A large nuclear reactor generates 1 million bhp.
The British guy who broke the speed of sound in that rocket-car was pushing 110,000 bhp (twin mega jets). The Space Shuttles might put out 500,000 bhp, max. 800 million bhp is like, a lot.
ahahahaa i can just imagine it. engine tranny axles and wheels hauling ass down the track dragging the fuel tank behind it.... while your sitting at the light in the rest of the car.
astonishing.. a ferry boat only makes like..16000 hp or something..
1)1281mph in 1 second would make your body implode on itsself instantly.
2)you woul dhave to have 100' wide tires to even think of getting "traction"
3)you would have to have the car remote controlled.
4)i bet the spi could do it... with 400:1 compression running about 100,000psi of boost with 50,000 octane
5)the amount of energy released by the motor is unfathomable...
wouldnt that be about the amount of energy produced by fusion? hmm.. fusion powered car.. interesting
6)if it needs 473,362 horsepower, does that mean the motor makes 1 ft lb of TQ?
I don't think that's quite right... in my studies of the Human body and injuries from various locations including Morgues, EMT Training, Firsthand experience, and other grisly studies (no I didn't go around killing things/people) I've never seen any Human (or any living thing for thta matter) IMPLODE... now I think the actual damage done would be like seeing a person fall from a building and meet the asphault. You would most likely end up flattened from the stress suddenly exerted all across your back. Nice imagery though Marclar, I thought of a cartoon character suddenly sucking inward and just "poofing" away as the car roared off on it's ever so short and loud run. Not trying ot kill any highs, just wanted to interject... carry on with the merriment!
It would be along the lines of getting shot... 50% of the people that get shot dont die from getting shot, they die from the hydrostatic shockwave that travels through your body when the bullet enters it. You body is like 80% water, and as we know, whater is incompressible, so when the bullet displaces a portion of your body, a shockwave equal to that would travel through the rest o it. Now, back to the dragster.... MMM, goo. 8O
Yeah just like when a grenade explodes next to you
