Best Answer

Drag cars are quite powerful because of both the engines used to run them -- which are built for power and unnecessary in a standard vehicle -- and the fuel used to run them. Most drag cars race on a combination of fuels known as "racing alcohol" rather than standard gasoline. In addition, the design and tire placement of the cars help keep the cars powerful.
