There’s a very old bit about just how powerful Top Fuel cars are, that points out that the blower is so stiff, it requires more horsepower to turn than a NASCAR engine produces, so an electric motor strong enough to turn one would put quite a load on the neighborhood power grid.

Fuel cars are the only thing I’ve witnessed where you can feel the organs inside your body vibrating from the sound power. It’s amazing.
