Wow, check this FireForce 3 Jet Car – 10000+hp , it goes 1/4 mile for 5.95!
We go on and on about how power is nothing without grip and how the car that has the most horsepower at the wheels is not necessarily a car that would set the fastest time due to possible traction issues, and yet today we bring you a vehicle with literally 0 horsepower at the wheels.
Yes, it is all about thrust today as the Fire Force 3 Jet car is about to unleash all that propulsion and attack the ¼ mile time at the 2016 VW Action event held at Santa Pod Raceway.
The power comes from a Pratt & Whitney J60 engine ripped out of a Sikorsky Skycrane (those huge helicopters that are used to carry the heaviest objects) and with 5500lbs of thrust, this baby is equivalent to a bit more than 10,000hp, let that sink in for a second, we’ll wait.
Whenever you are ready, check out this incredible machine as it spools up that engine and sets a blistering 5.95 run, crossing the finish line at 224mph.
