The 375mph Jet Powered Chevy
FEW road vehicles could hope to outrun an aeroplane. But thanks to a 12,000 horsepower engine and a top speed of almost 400mph, this rocket-propelled Chevy can do just that. The explosive machine known as the 'Flash Fire Chevy' is the brainchild of American Neal Darnell - who built it after he retired. Together with his son Chris they took a Pratt and Whitney engine from a US Navy trainer jet called the T-2 Buckeye and built the vehicle around it. With this additional rocket power the Chevy is able to accelerate from 0-60 in 1.5 seconds - exerting up to G-Force 6 on the driver. It can easily hit 350mph and has reached a top recorded speed of 375mph at airshows, where it impresses the crowds by catching up with light aeroplanes flying a few metres above. Neal and son Chris are continuing to tear up the tarmac at shows across North America, including El Paso, Texas, where these images were captured in October 2012.
