Somehow i doubt that thing will ever be street legal.

Wow,
Thats insane.
Wonder if its fast

 

[StageLeft]

If I have EVER seen a coffin on wheels thats it.

[Pretender]

the ultimate defintion of rice rocket.

 

[Mister T]

where the hell would you get jet fuel for it?

 

[layne151]

that is funky ride!

 

[Mutilator]

Pretender that's not a rice rocket because it can go as fast as it looks

 

[SillyBoy]

how does it go in reverse?

[shadow]

lets do some math ok?

190lbs of thrust ain't that much...

2100lbs of car

F=ma (force=mass*acceleration)

a=F/m

a=190/2100

a=0.09

For comparison

the acceleration of a nice sports car - 1/4mile in 14secs good? (help me with the car numbers if I'm outa wak ya'll)

x=1/2at^2

a=4.08

a nice sports car has 45* the acceleration of that Turbine powered MR2.

 

[BowDown]

Hehe... thats cool .

 

[Howard]

That's roughly the same as the Integra Type-R... Remember Luzer (sp? )?

 

[KMurphy]

That's not new. The major mfg's experimented with turbine powered cars and big trucks in the 50's and 60's.

That mr2 might get 20 gallons to the mile. :Q

[dimsum]

unless you have extra parking space at your house.. where would you put it?

 

[JJWalker]

Hilarious!

 

[littleprince]

erg....
since when was the F in F=ma measured in lb?
or is this another one of you americans non metric system kinda thing??

it might be kewl, but personaly, i think it looks butt ugly...

"OH BOY!!!! I AM GONNA HAVE TO WRITE A LONG LIABILITY WAIVER TO SELL THIS ONE!!!!!!!! YOU DONT HAVE TO BE CRAZY TO BUY THIS, BUT IT WILL HELP. UNSAFE @ ANY SPEED!!!!!!!!!! BUT SOOOO MUCH FUN!!!! "

Craziest sh1t I've seen in a while.

<< a nice sports car has 45* the acceleration of that Turbine powered MR2 >>

I'm thinking jet 'cars' don't have the get-up-and-go acceleration you can find in other 'drag' cars.

From what I remember at the drag races, jet cars seem 'slow' off the line.

What a POS!! I can't believe the current bid is up to $7600...for a stupid backyard project, sheesh. The morons on fleabay never cease to amaze me...

BTW, Shadow your way off buddy. Your units are screwed up but I'm too lazy to help you out.
