    I love the take-off in a Jumbo! 16,000shp and 50,000lbs of thrust per engine!

    HAving said that, my bike's quite exciting at full throttle too....!

    All that work for a Holden. It's like Helen Clark getting breast implants.

    hmm... gotta love turbine engines, but only for certain applications.

    You could drive that car around as a commuter if you like, would guzzle the gas but could still be done.

    Running a gas turbine in your car would just be stupid because they dont like having their RPM changed all the time so its shit for stop-start use like on the road. Also was reading an article on turbines and it said that a 10% increase in running temp equates to a 50% loss in engine life (if you want exact words i'll quote it later)... this of course is why the air force's turbines seem to be 'unreliable' compared to civilian used ones because the air force has to abuse them substantially more in 'military' flying.

    oh yeh, and the car is a fucking beast!

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Why not run it at a constant most efficient RPM and have a smarter gear box? CVT styles?
    or running a Gen and have in wheel electric motors?

    Stop thinking of problems and of solutions.

    There are buses in Auckland CBD running GTs

    Oh, I'm fairly careful as to "where and when" I engage the afterburners and apply full thrust... It's the "rotation" bit I still have a little trouble with.
