This has got to be the wierdest mod to a FORD that I have seen yet..



In a bid to give his 2005 Ford F-150 more power, Jackson, Michigan native Chris Lentz strapped a Czechoslovakian Motorlet M-701 turbojet to the truck bed, creating a 2700HP jet-powered truck. It's the coolest truck we've ever seen.

Mikkel,



The jet looks to be angled slightly downward in the front, up in the back, so I suspect it pushes down on the truck rather than lifts it up.



TJR
 
Says he runs it in Hybrid Mode, poor Transmission!! I would think it would have to be in Nuetral or the tranny would be resisting it trying to keep up. Just my thoughts.
 
The whole thing reminds me of a classic "Darwin Award" winner...



(bogus or not...still a great story)

Guy who owns the dealer where I bought my jetski used to have a jet-powered Kenworth semi that would hit 200 mph. He wrecked it and spent several months in the hospital. He doesn't race any more.
