some people have way too much money. Did anyone else notice the 2 mufflers hanging out the back?

Re: Turbine Eclipse?
That thing can use both engines which might explain the dual mufflers. I wonder how you stop with something like that. And there is no way that using the jet engine is still street legal. Maybe just the normal engine though.

That doesn't explain the dual mufflers... How many jet engines do you see with a muffler on them? None... Besides, where the flame comes out is where all the exhaust escapes from for the jet engine.

Yeah, there is definetly no way that thing is street legal. I can just see some dumbass buy that and going cruising in a busy town. They would probably let the afterburner go at a stoplight toasting the next 2 cars behind them. Hehe...

Nah, it looks like it's being used like a normal airplane would, to push the air.

Re: Turbine Eclipse?
no way a 12 foot flame coing out the back of your car is legal in any state. I would like to see the look on the cops face lol.

Ps. I wonder where some one is gonna take it to get fixed lol I want to see what like firestone or some other shop would think.

I wonder if this guy actually thinks he going to get his money back out of his investment.

Re: Turbine Eclipse?
but with a jet engine like that. I know the ones on our helicopters are about the size a little bigger and they push out 4000hp plus.
