[quote]Ahh, so this is what happens when you strap a 7000 horse-power General Electric J85 Jet Engine (with a 200mph top speed) to a Ford F650 pick up truck.
As you might have guessed, a standard front engine avoids the afterburner setting cars on fire when the Frictionator hits the streets.[/quote]

yea a little.
I have to say, that truck is pretty lame as far as that sort of thing goes...
I try not to dog on things but man, that thing is lame.
This would be a bit more my taste I guess

I'd like to see that roll through a ghetto neighborhood.
That second video took to damn long to get to the good part, good god.
And it was kind of disappointing anyway.
Is this really news? Or something that belongs in the Videos Section?
I expected to see a redneck sitting in a truck going 200 MPH.
Instead I see some goon sitting in a truck going 30 MPH.
ricer car.
Where are the truck nuts and empty dip cans?
How on earth is this street legal. Imagine driving behind it when it releases the bigass puff of smoke.
I wonder what it's mpg is.

I bet it wouldn't be legal here.
There are such tight laws what you can do to your car and every time you change something it needs to be specially and officially tested and approved.
Wow! it goes so fast!!!
Love this one more

If you realy can't wait go to 2:50.
I went to a airshow where they had a jet powered car, it was cool, but I liked the blue angels military jets better.
I guess that's...
A [B]smokin'[/B] ride.
God damn rednecks, the engine isn't getting enough air back there so that's why it can't work properly.

That was my first thought too. The whole point of a gas turbine engine is the intake. If you don't give it air, it's pretty much useless.
