I can't believe that his van breaks are able to hold that thing back?

thats the thing. . .he's not at full throttle. he's running maybe 10% of the engine capacity. . .then he guns it.


from what I can tell. . .he uses the vehicle engine to get things going, then use the turbine to realy give it the push.

Holy BatVAN! That thing rocks!

The vehicle brakes hold because jet engines do not produce anywhere near full thrust until they are moving forward. The faster they go the more thrust they develop.

Woli.....all I can say is OUCH!
