Why is this considered "Off Topic"?

Isn't a DAX Rush considered to be a sevenesque replica?

If BECs and EECs are OK then why not JECs?

Poof!

I have to wonder how much heat and jet fuel fumes blow back on the occupants not to mention the soot jet engines leave at low altitudes.

 

Are there any performance figures for the car?

To become "emmissions friendly" that car would need a hell of a set of catalytic converters.

 

Just curious:

. If this car has a sevenesque fuel cell, how far does a vehicle like this expect to drive between refuelings?

. What kind of clutch (plate) and tranny (or automatic transmission for that matter) is designed to handle the xxx,000 rpms this baby produces? ... or does it just use the drive unit directly from the turbine?

He has good taste in wheels. Its the same ones we have on the new car.

Since it is an "alternative fuel vehicle", there probably aren't any emission regulations for kerosine fueled engines.

they should just use the center tunnel straight through the back and use thrust to drive the car. why waste available traction on pushing the car if you don't have to?

Why build this? Eventually sell to a museum?

 

I prefer the jet powered mini bike at GaTech!

I Think I Should do this to my Rotus. I have been toying with upgrading and maybe instead of getting rid of it I should make it more of a death trap.:7head:

This is pure auto art. Much a Trike powered by a 911 Porsche engine I saw in a Feb. Saturday PM car show in Scottsdale.

It has great looks and high impact.

I had either I would build a glass room onto my house to display.
