Hey Royce / guys. Jay Leno has a motorcycle with a helicopter turbo jet as it's motor, top speed, i really do not believe jay or anybody ever ran it this fast, is 276 MPH. Jay said that the only real problem is the turbo lag when going aroung corners. I guess at 85 MPH a 2 second delay can put you in the hospital.

I don't know how well they accelerated, but I remember that while I was in
junior high school in the early 60s, Chrysler was doing some testing on a
gas turbine powered sedan, and one of my neighbors was somehow selected for
the test. Sounded like a jet engine coming down the street, but we never
got a chance to see what it could really do...
