The Top Fuel and Funny Cars run a nitromethane mixture, rather than methanol. Not too good for a Datto street car. Nitro runs hot, and the motor can keep running even when the dizzy is blown off the engine.
These are strictly single-purpose engines (and cars). Generally the lifespan of the engine is 1/4 mile. They rebuild the engine after each pass, something like $125,000 per race. And $200 or $2000 per 1/4 mile for the fuel ... something crazy like that. This is mostly paid for by advertising. Beer companies generally have the top cars.
