JET Turbine Powered that is.

on my way back from drill(reserves) this weekend i heard some comotion at the front of the bus. i got up from my seat to check it out, and there it is.. a jet powered crx, i was like wtf..

it sounded like a plane driving around lol.

if you look in between the 2 tail lights you can see the exhaust pipe.. and the car was mostly gutted but you can see the guages on the center console.

also check out the license plate.

^ i wouldn't consider this rice.. you know the r&d you would have to do to do this, especially a street legal jet powered car.. it takes money and balls to do something like that.

why jet-power a car since you can only go so fast on street?

that is insane!!!

it must be fast as hell. i saw a video of an mr2 with a jet in the back. it shot a 10 foot flame out the back when he hit the afterburners. i woudlnt know what to do if something like that pulled up next to me and started spooling nad i hadnt seen the big turbine out the back. id be like wtf is an airplane abotu to hit me?!?!?!?

that reminds me of that damned jet powered bug.... but this actually looks cleaner.

I'd never own it.... but I sure as hell would scare some people!

That can't possibly be street legal...

He couldn't be using the turbine power to drive around, could he? He'd be melting people's grills and shit that are behind him... Doesn't the exhaust get a bit warm?

That bug that people are talking about is indeed street legal from the article I read Need to try and find it.

The exhaust looks like it drops little "presents" on the road as it drives by.

I would have been very interested to hear this thing......

to bad that thing probley runs 20's in the 1/4. turbines take lots of time to spool when under a load. thats why the chysler turbine cars never took off (pun might be intended

)

unless he's not using the turbine output to turn the drivetrain,, insead making it a turbo fan (like the fast jet powerd cars/trucks that have afterburners and such). then he could apply the brakes and release after allowing the turbine to spool up a little and then take off like a bat outta hell. but that be way unsafe for the street.
