porcupine73 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yes those are nice pics! If you don't want to race heads up, maybe you could negotiate for a few car lengths, then say you thought they meant jet lengths. There's been a couple races like this on TLC. One was that black jet engined powered car that set the speed record on the salt flats. It went up against a dodge viper. The jet car actually beat the viper off the line for the first 1/2 second maybe, then the viper flew by it. It was pretty funny. Like a minute later (I don't remember how long) you just see the jet car fly by the viper like it's standing still. Another was that semi tractor that guy put like 3 jet engines on that he runs at various shows and events. He raced it against some kind of military jet I think. The jet came over top of him real slow, then went full power and he went full power. I can't remember who won.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tied at the last air show I saw that truck at. That thing is freakin' LOUD! It feels like someone punched you in the chest when he gooses the throttle.

porcupine73 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 That would be cool to see. I know he said the tractor pulls 10g's when he pulls the parachute and leaves bruises on his chest where the harness is. Not sure what it pulls when he goes full throttle?
