That was 335. Probably not. NHRA, the organization that controls drag racing in the US and generally establishes a baseline for the rest of the world, imposed limits on displacement, gearing and other variables to keep speeds down around 330 mph. Elapsed times will continue to improve. Eventually they'll probably get to the four-second mark. I think the record is around 4.45 seconds now. I doubt that we'll ever see three seconds flat with a piston engined car, but I'm making no guarantees:-).
