Top Methanol Funny Cars is one of the fastest classes in Dragracing and considered very difficult to run real fast for both teams and drivers, so it's much more of a challenge to run them successfully. Top Methanol refers to the engine and means a big aluminum V8 engine with a mechanical supercharger, being run on Methanol (the same fuel as Indy Car and environment friendly busses).

It has the power potential of up to 3000 hp revving as high as 11000 rpm. Funny Car means the chassis type with a steel tube frame, with the engine mounted in the middle and clutch, gearbox and driver just behind it. The power is transferred to two huge rear tires that will

send the car forward while the front tires are more of a normal streetcar's size to keep the car as straight as possible on the track. In front of the engine we find fuel tank and system, ignition boxes, data-collecting computer, fire extinguishers and some other support systems. Over the chassis a one-piece carbon-fibre body with the appearance of a streetcar is positioned.

The body can be lifted up at the front end so that the driver can enter and crew can do their job starting the engine. There is a hatch in the roof so the driver can take that way out if needed (in case of fire or if nobody is there for the moment to let him/her out).
