    LOL $250,000.00 for a jet powered car that can't be driven over 160MPH?

    Must be an awsome feeling for that brief time it takes to go from 90-160 though.

    I am grinning imagining turning that puppy on with a tail gater behind me =)

    I'm sure it's dangerous, but the owner seems like he knows his ****.
