Nitro is 2.3 times as energetic as gasoline. Consider that a gallon of gas powers a 3000 pound car as much as 50 miles, and nitro would move would move that same car 115 miles. that means a cup would make it move about 15 miles. Try pushing a 3000 pound car that far, and you'll appreciate a cup of nitro
An ounce would move that car about a mile. At speed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitromethane

Earthquake when ever and where ever you need one, just light up a top fueler on Nitro, they'll nail 3.9 on the richter scale
0 comments Posted by st at 7:09 PMAs those watching took in the excitement of hearing and seeing a Top Fuel dragster in person, Dr. Doug Brittsan, of Brittsan CPT, measured the movement of the earth with a mobile seismograph.
Once the dragster had been shut off, Dr. Brittsan got to work evaluating the data. End results? The movement of the earth created by the Snap-on Tools Top Fuel dragster was equivalent to an astounding 3.9 on the Richter scale.
