THAT WAS SWEET!!!

 

wonder what his 60' time was?

 

Looked like he dead hooked

WOW TTT just cause its cool

 

I assume that was one of Les Shockley's Shock Waves? Any idea of e.t. and trap speed? Its pretty amazing to watch one of those things pass an airplane at 300 mph. Just goes to show that with enough money you can make anything go fast. Last time at Irwindale there was someone racing a Kenworth tractor. Brought it in on a trailer behind another Kenworth. Don't know what he had in it (I assume a lot of propane) but he was outrunning me due to my lack of traction. Hope he shows up again next time I go because with my new JDM bars and 555Rs I will dust his a$$.

 

The newest Shockwave has three jets:

Engines: 3 P&W J34-48 (Navy T2-A Buckeye)
Horsepower: 36,000

Top Speed: 376mph

Ever drag race a place?

nice video of the drag race with plane. i never thought the truck would catch up.

 

......You are correct sir.

I got to see that truck live at Mopar Parts World Nationals in Norwalk last summer@ an IHRA event. Pretty amazing.......but I'd still rather experience TF racing anyday. There is nothing like standing at the lights and feeling 12,000hp pull away from you

For the best sound tho.......I'd have to go with those 800+ cubic inch door slammers in Pro Stock.......OK I'll stop I am just rambling.

Oh BTW........those movies from The Learning Channel are awesome!!!!!!

 

put that up against the 13.8 civic

 

wouldn't want to have that big rig pull up with me at a stop light eh? geeze!

A

 

question
how do you measure hp in an engine that essentially only makes exhaust and doesnt turn ne thing? or do i not know how a jet enigne works??

 

Torque i know is a measure of turning force ( well basically ) but horsepower,, now thats a totally different story

They travel down to a ranch in texas and count how many times faster your truck is then the fastest horse there,, in other words, they would have to stick 12.000 horses or 36.000 horses running on treadmills inside of that truck to make it go equally as fast.

it also took a thousand stuffed monkeys typing on a thousand typewriters over a year to come up with that answer,,,,

errrrrr,, i better stop before i confuse myself.
