Drag racing remains a popular form of motorsport in many countries. In addition to races at the top tiers of the sport, where competitors have in excess of 10,000 bhp (7500 kW) available, there are historic or retro classes that continue to run cars which ape those used a few decades ago. These classes encompass everything from hot rods to Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars. The main differences between modern and retro classes is the power output and the look of the cars. There is a significant difference in performance between the same type of cars from four or five decades ago and their modern descendants.
