So what do you think?

[WDRacing]

It's a tad slow for my taste...

[sunnys14]

looks good, you should get it

[cyrus240sx]

but how will you park with no reverse?

HAHAHAHHAHAA.

but how will you park with no reverse?

With enough thrust, you would fly into the air and just float around & land. Weeeeee.

I hope noone thinks im serious about buying this thing, its just looks cool. Also im in california, something tells me ill have a hard time passing smog.

heres some facts I picked up on each one of those motors, this guy is nuts.

The General Electric T58 is a free-shaft axial flow gas turbine. The compressor has 10 stages with variable inlet guide vanes and variable stators on the first three stages. The compression ratio is 8.4:1, it flows approximately 13.7 lb/s (11,000 cfm) @ 27,300 rpm. Specific fuel consumption is 0.64 lb/shp/h. The engine weighs 350 lb [159 kg] and produces approximately 1,400 hp each. With a 3.25:1 reduction gearbox this engine will produce 1,270 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm.

Of course man, how can you take that car seriously? Well, you can, it's nuts, but yea - I don't think the CHP would like it very much... that's if they could even catch up w/ you, HAHAHAHA.

You made my week.

since when are jets measured in hp and torque?

theres no mechanical side to it whatsoever...whoever you got that info from needs help

theres approximate numbers to figure out how much horsepower a gas engine would need to make to be as powerful as a jet, but jets arent measured in gas engine specs

ok i just looked it up...he says the car runs on thrust but the engines a turboshaft

another words he making stuff up to make some money, or he just doesnt have what he thinks he has

[virus77]

Im no rocket scientist, I just googled it.

[nismofly]

no thats what im saying...its a helicopter engine...it actually would use a transmission and the like

but he said it runs on thrust, like a turbojet/fan

he either doesnt know what hes talking about or hes full of ****

[cyrus240sx]

i think i need one of those turbines for my ka-t project.....(get it? ka-turbine! haha!, i kill myself sometimes.....)

[cyrus240sx]

too bad it wont turn like an mr2 anymore

so it wont oversteer waaaay to much and spin out anymore? I think everyone here has seen the drift bible, and knows what im talkin about...

well the video proves the damn thing runs, pretty quick on the salt flats actually. The setup looks like its done pretty nice, good fabwork and a pretty good interior with jet guages and everthing. Its pretty sick i give them props for sure.
