Still doesn't beat an NHRA fuel car, 0-100mph in 0.8 seconds when they hook.

A lot of it is in clutch engagement timing, too quickly and the car blows the tires off and becomes basically impossible to drive.

4:10 for the onboard pass down the track

Onboard a 6s Pro Mod car

As you can see, it mostly is hit a button(the pedal) and hang on for dear life. There's just no time to react, so if the car's not set up correctly, it ain't gonna happen.

At least on a roller coaster you don't have to steer
