Cool, slap some wings on it and shoot it at London.

Not street legal but if you put the pedal to the medal using the jet engine…you’d kill yourself. I guess he had fun though.

If you got to close to the back end of that thing you’d need a new paint job at the least. You might need a new car.

No heat signature out the back of the engine and the vehicle doesn’t crouch as he wound it out . . . I think it’s time to break out the BS Meter.

Sag.

So… it was cool. But I expected to see more of a Back to the Future kind of take off. Like, winding up the engine then POOF! No truck and only flaming tire tracks.

Then I watched the jet motorcycle. Again, where are the flaming tire tracks?

I would’ve just been way more impressed had the guy taken off from a dead stop and made it to 500mph in 4.3 seconds. But hey, who am I to complain? He has a jet engine and I have a six cylinder.

Hm… I wonder if the EPA would certify it as a Diesel-powered vehicle if they added Daimler-Benz’s AdBlue injection system.

#15 – it’s not that bad. Carbon footprint could be substituted with “fun index” of “standard of living”.

Now all he needs is an Oscillation Overthruster.

Shades of 1967 Indianapolis 500 & Andy Granatelli.

The country sure was better place back then before the government decided that it’s sole job was to protect all citizens from themselves.

Better MPG

A turbine is much more efficient at using fuel than a piston engine with a lousy transmission.

Use the regular engine to get to speed, stick it in Neutral, fire up the turbine.

Have to keep the engine running for the power brakes though.

So really, instead of a pickup, this setup would be better on my Prius for highway driving.
