323 MPH TurboJet car blows away Texas Speed Record

Live on from the Texas Mile, Spring 2008, we check in with Team Dewitt as they attempt to set the new Texas top speed record in their Turbo Jet turbine funny car. Producing 6,500 lbs of thrust from a GE fighter jet engine, this car is a sight to behold.

Jet engines are is a CLASS of their own period and can't be compared to piston engines of any kind. This holds true for any sport (air, water, land).

[freedomsoldier187]

if it has a jet engine on it, it is meant for flight , this is a plane without wings

a car has an international combustion engine, they shouldn't allow these things it's like cheating

@WoWnolifeWow no, you didn't. A ford gt is a regular street legal car which is a piston engine. The highest speed achieved in a piston engine car was 268 mph in a Buggati Veyron.

[WoWnolifeWow]

i saw a ford gt do 339 mph on a mile track xD

@mxd6 Absolutely. The Otto and Diesel cycles differ greatly from the gas turbine cycle.
