Old Pics I Found
« on: December 31, 2003, 04:00:07 pm »
Browsing through my computer, found some pics of a car with a jet engine in it  :shock:









this thing has a jet engine in it and blasts through the 1/4 mile in 6 seconds FLAT!

The turbine spins and something crazy like 20,000 RPM at idle!



Jay's truck from Mopac.... made out of 100% carbon fiber... fastest run at mission from the summer.... 6.47 @ 280mph!!!!!!!

one time at the track when he ran 7.20 or something at the top end of the track he blew both his doors right off the truck!



good ol bug with a 350 in it poppin a wheelie  :D
