This is the Air Force's Jet Car...according to the announcer, it has more horsepower than all of the starting line-up of the Indy 500 :shock:, it burns 35 gallons of jet fuel in every show, and it does 0-400mph in 8 seconds! :!: :P

Also, any tips on taking good pictures with really harsh mid-day sun and no clouds?

How can a truck (with "truck' aerodynamics) stay on the ground at 356+ mph????

lol, I'm assuming that's what the giant 2 foot tall wing does...? :D

It's badass, they somehow hooked it up so fire comes out of the pipes too! You can kind of see in this picture>

I saw that jet truck live at an airshow when I was a kid. Good times :D

it raced a bi-plane and won by a mile( I know, I was shocked too). :lol:
its loud too, especially when you're eight.

can't believe that thing still runs. come to think of it... I still have a model of that thing that I built in my living room. cool! :D

[Wutputt]

My guess is Jeremy would love this truck :D

356MPH in a truck! on a Run way! holy shit that's nuts..

And its great to know our Airforce has their own 8sec 0-400mph jet car :lol:

really cool pics.. I bet your fiending for a telezoom lens like I am ;)

As for tips, usually If I don't know which settings to use I'll set it to P (program mode) which usually takes a pretty decent shot. And from there I'll look at what speed, apature, etc that pic was shot at and then go into Manual mode to play around..

Thanks for all the compliments guys! 8)

YES! ;)

[dutchmasterflex]

Dude.. I know exactly what youre feeling.. ESPECIALLY because everyone here on JW with a Nikon are getting trick new lenses while I'm still stuck with the 18-55mm..

Even though I bought this setup so I wouldnt HAVE to buy another lens, I still want a new lens!!

Which lenses do you have in mind?

[chest3r]

Holy ... !!!! :shocked!:

That thing is completely insane !!!!

[TT]

Let's rice everything :D

j/k, this is just cool! I want one, ultimate sleeper once you'll paint it in a stealthy color ;)

[martin100]

I´ve once seen a TV feature about this insane machine and it´s good to have some pics of it aswell. Thanks :wink:

notice the ram intake up front?

oh, nope, its underneath, which i'd guess causes a net downforce

lol .. what are you expecting .. it'll fly ? haha ....
that wing on the back is enough;) ....
and anyway .. you only need downforce when you need to go arround a corner ;)...

the underneath is 2 feet above the ground ;) :lol:
