> gasoline-powered dragsters should be able to accelerate at much more than 3.42g The grip is limited. You would probably need to pull a wire or have gear mesh rail to accelerate "much more". Normal tires provide a grip of about 0.8 newton per newton normal force. If you look at a drag racing wheel in slowmo the deformation is insane.
