I’m sure that took a lot of work, but it looked pretty slow for a car with 2000+ hp. I’m sticking to internal combustion engines, thankyouverymuch.

You can’t expect this thing to be fast off the line. Jet engines need time to spool up. That’s why fighter jets need to be slingshot off aircraft carriers. Without it they would just run to the end of the ship and drop into the ocean. They just don’t have the initial power to get themselves in the air in that short distance. Prop planes used to take off completely under their own power. Jets just can’t. But once they get going jet’s will leave prop planes in their vapor trail. That truck had terrible low end power but once the engines spooled up it got a decent quarter-mile time.

Yikes! Didn’t expect to see so much hate directed at this truck… in all honestly, I’m a Chevy man and I think jet engines are best left to fighter planes, but even still, I think this is really cool.

Oh, and the log in issue happened to me as well. I’ll let the tech dudes know.

In the vid the truck looks like it was on a public highway (opposing traffic in the background), so a full-on blast wasn’t likely a decent idea at the time. The truck also sits a bit high for decent high-speed runs, IMHO. Like a lot of cars on here, built for fun. More power to him for taking a gamble on the unusual.
