ThrustSSC is the first car to use not one, but two turbojets. These will initially be Rolls-Royce Spey 202s from the Phantom fighter, each producing 20,000 pounds of thrust. Richard Noble has acquired two of them, but also has two even more powerful 205 units (25,000lb of thrust) for use when ThrustSSC has proved itself in transonic testing. ThrustSSC thus has the power of 1000 Ford Escorts, or 145 Formula One cars...

 

It will weighs 10 tonnes, and initial performance estimates suggest it will accelerate from standstill to 100mph (161kph) in four seconds or 0-600mph (1000kph) in 16 seconds. Within five miles (8 km) it will then reach its maximum speed of 850 mph within half a minute.

You were folliwing a S7 earlier?

 

I find that hard to believe there are very few of them on the street.

 

If I had money to burn that would be in my garage for sure.

 

Assembled right here in the U.S. just like the LGT!

 

Love it!

 

Plus I've owned other Saleen products and they are fun to drive!!!!

 

Well built!!!

 

Lot's of thought put into them!
