Pretty cool. Makes for a good sleeper.

Thats awesome, you can't even tell theres a jet engine in there, at least until the 20 foot flame comes out.

Have you seen the jet-powered MR2 in OT? that thing was crazy, but the ebay pics dont work for me anymore. Not a sleeper like this one tho

woow that eclipse is freakin' crazeeee man, lol I love the fuel economy; runs for about 15-20 min. at 100% throttle

thats nuts

There's a sleeper. I like how it's still got the functional v6 as well. Although I bet the V6 just wouldn't feel quite as spunky after doing a couple open runs on the highway with the jet engine...

Any guesses on the top speed before it takes flight???

I'd guess it could do probably 180-200 mph.

that looks like fun!

I'd end up killing myself if I got one of those.

I guess nitrous wasn't enough...

Better fuel economy - I think jet fuel is cheaper than unleaded premium these days.

At least that would be the first import deserving of one of those huge ass autozone wings.

Wing off a 727 is more like it.


I wish they showed how the jet got it's air, they show the hatch open, but the inlet to the turbine looks like it's in the passenger compartment.

So, if you turn on the A/C, does that constitute a cold air intake?:icon16:

Damn no one has a video of this thing running around?

I think its perfectly street legal, except for this little excessive noise issue
