2700HP Jet-Powered Ford F-150 Truck

So you've seen the world's fastest motorcycle, now check out what could quite possibly be the coolest truck ever. The most notable modification is "a Czechoslovakian Motorlet M-701 turbojet [strapped] to the truck bed." Video after the break.

To install the jet in the truck, Lentz fabricated a sturdy mounting stand, a twenty-gallon kerosene tank, and a control console from aluminum and stainless steel.

Hello Mr. Death .. we have another one for you. Don't people learn from others mistakes; http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin1995-04.html

Adding the jet probably improved fuel economy! Around here most people just carry trash in the backs of their pickups (until it blows out onto the road and bounces off the front of my car). That Darwin award legend is utter nonsense.

Looks like someone is insecure of their penis size...

Jealous that someone can afford to strap a jet engine into anything they want and have the knowledge to do so, HerBDerb?

Put it in something fun to drive rather than a truck.
