BusaLoco Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scannon Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusaLoco Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I have to wonder how much heat and jet fuel fumes blow back ... 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?

scannon Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 To become "emmissions friendly" that car would need a hell of a set of catalytic converters. Since it is an "alternative fuel vehicle", there probably aren't any emission regulations for kerosine fueled engines. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7evin Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yippi..... I'd drive it... If the police could ever catch you, They would take one look at this thing and call for the guys in the white coats and a new jacket for you. Cheers 7evin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjslutz Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 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. http://www.phoenixtrikeworks.com/trikes/gallery11/index.htm I had either I would build a glass room onto my house to display.
