The other Fiero listed at that site is a whole lot more appealing.

Who ever buys this had better get some experienced help. Not just for the jet but for the car.

Light weight and short wheel base is a formula for an unstable car that will fly and flip.


Most speed cars are long wheel based and they add weight to keep them on the ground.

With full thrust on at "take off" you will soon be airborne. Looks like an unstable vehicle but for $125K it sounds like a complete waste of money to me. You'd have to be an azzhat to race that thing.

If you are looking for truth, Captain Jack McClure built a go cart that is powered by a Rocket Engine running on pure Hydrogen Peroxide. Jack started back in the 1960's and has been doing exhibition runs in his go cart up until now at 91 years of age. The guy is fearless and has done hundreds of runs. Here is one he did two years ago at age 89. This guy has to be a freak of nature.
