Simply put. Yes/no.

Jet cars have upwards of 17,000hp, but run 6'5 and 5's. The reason is because it takes them a second to get all that power built up.

He would have a good low ET, but with a trap speed of an insanely faster car.

Turbine cars simply cant get off the line well, because the turbine cant really be powered well while they are staging.

If you've ever seen a race, you'd know what Im talking about.

Wheres he hiding the Flux Capacitor in that beast? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

I've seen a turbojet-powered Kenworth at a strip once before, so I know what you're talking about - it's **** ****ing cool when they pulse the engine coming up to the line //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif ...it's a problem with all turbines, even on aircraft. They simply don't respond to sudden power changes all that well. And it's not like you could spool up the engines and hold the brakes...even aircraft aren't designed for that stress.

So how would you get away with having the air intakes right behind the seats???

Whats the diff between regular turbines and ones w/ afterburners?
wth is afterburner?

an afterburner is a mechanism that sprays fuel into the exhaust of the jet after the combustion chamber to get more power out of the engine, it's kind of like NOS for jets i guess

An afterburner is a device in a turbine engine that re-ignites fuel in the exahust after it has already went through the actual turbine.

nope, it adds more fuel to the exhaust
