that is just ****** insane!! Imagine how hot it gets behind it if you are losing, I know i might be inclined to swerve if i was not expecting to see a twenty foot flame shoot out the back. Wonder how fast it is, the throttle response must suck on that thing, having to back build and all.

That's one of the stupidest ideas I've ever seen. I've watched it on videos before, but look at that guy, he's got it on stock wheels and tires. And if he has to let that thing build like that, he's not in any position to race anyone. It's more of a "I did it to see if I could" kind of thing.

im pretty sure he still has the stock motor in it to drive it where he needs to. atleast it looks like it does anyway. yeah, its defenitly done to see if it could've been done type thing. i think the car would fall apart if it was pushed to its limits by that jet engine.

Actually, that's the slowest Eclipse in the world. It didn't move in the whole video.
