I don't know what you think you "sealed" in post number nine since the question is about a jet engine and you say it's getting its forward motion from a prop. Although the end result remains the same, "sealed" usually means your arguement is completely watertight and accurate. and yes, I just like ripping on everything you say.

No, I don't think you are getting it. *sigh* Everything Sam and Berto have posted is correct. A jet engine produces thrust to push itself through the air. It doesn't matter how fast the gournd is moving because it's pulling itself through the air, it's not driving the wheels. The plane could possibly stay stationary of it were on a treadmill in an extremely high powered wind tunnel, but then you would have air velocity over the wings so it would take off. So maybe you could enclose just the engines in the wind tunnel and isolate the wings from the air in order to keep the plane on the ground. Here's my analogy for ya: Go swim in a pool. Now imagine the floor of the pool is a treadmill. If you swim over the treadmill are you still going to move through the water? Of course you will because you're pulling through the water, and not using the ground for any of your driving force. The only difference between that and the plane is wheel bearing and ground friction, and water is a thicker fluid then air, but it's basically the same. In short, if you could get the plane to somehow not move on the treadmill then no, the plane will not take off because lift is dependant on air speed over the wings. But the question is irrelivent because the plane will never stay on the treadmill in the first place.

That has to be the dumbest street race I've ever seen

Most of those guys need to learn how to drive. They looked pretty wreckless to me. Plus, the guy in the 928 was barely driving with both hands on the wheel.You don't race with a trucker knob on the steering wheel.

Proving once again that the only person that can get liad driving a Volvo is a soccer mom.

I heard a rumor that some of these software packages work on more then LS1's...like EcoTec's for example...anyone know if this is true?

I hate how Ford guys always try point out that the CCR engine is a Ford. The engine is so modified by parts designed and built by Koenigsegg that it only bears resemblence to the Ford by its V configuration. Koenigsegg bought an engine, tore it down, and re-engineered the entire thing.

No, some cars are just slow. This is fast in my book http://www.ekartingnews.com/NewToKarting/photos/superkart.jpg

With a rotary that close to my back I'd want a better scatter shield.

Yeah, not only is it a Koenigsegg, but it's a CCR. about $600k US and they only make a handful per year.

Wow, I'd definately go for any of those, but the Konigsegg (sp?) CCR is P.I.M.P. Fastest car in the world until the Veyron crushed it. The Zonda is awesome too.

fixed

A kid that goes to my school turboed his Tc and killed an SRT-4 at low boost. Not sure about mid-12's, but it's possible.

*Sold* (supposedly)

It went wrong the second he put it in his ass.

I think there's a car in the other lane that is making the 'cammed' sound you're all hearing.

The ITB's are stock to the bike motor. It wasn't crafty engineering on their part.
