Performance you ask? The ShockWave Jet Truck runs over 300 mph racing airplanes at air shows; holds the world record in a quarter mile for trucks at 256 mph in just 6.36 seconds; and holds the world record for full size trucks at 376 mph as recorded by Guinness Book of World Records. At 36,000 horsepower, the ShockWave has enough power to accelerate at 3 Gs vertical, which is as much as the Space Shuttle!

And it can out-accelerate a plane from a standing start.

bloody hell, thats just stupidly mental, oh and quite quick too.

has it got a jet engine on the back?

 

[Ali]

see the puff when it breaks the sound barrier. 340M/s

 

[BenR]

sh*t, bags

 

[TheCake]

Thats super cool!

 

[PsYch0]

340m/s is about 700mph. thats what the speed of sound is for jets.

so somehow i dont think it can be breaking the sound barrier as it took a specialised jet car to be the first to break the sound barrier.

 

[eugegall]

holy vito. that is mad. where can i buy one? and can i get a engine conversion for my 172?

 

[BenR]

its not breaking the sound barrier

the planes wheels are down so its not exactly going fast.

 

[Ali]

hummm...yes...wonder what the puff of smoke is then? Flamer kit any1?
