- World's Fastest Truck.
- 36,000 HP
- use triple (3) Pratt & Whitney J34-48 jet-engine. U.S. Navy's T2A Buckeye plane use this engine.

- 260-in­ch (660-cm) wheelbase.

- The engines are arranged in a pyramid formation, tilted at a three-degree angle to help keep the 6,800-pound (3,084 kg) truck on the ground. See images below.

- 19,000 pounds of static thrust.
- The outlet of the engine is fitted with a special fuel line that carries raw diesel fuel to a ring-like burner inside the outlet.
- This dumping of raw diesel fuel into the burner creates flames and smoke that make for some very special effects.
- The front of the truck is the only stock part, an original 1985 Peterbilt cab. See image below.



- The familiar twin vertical chrome exhaust stacks are modified with piezoelectric ignitors for lighting the raw diesel fuel to produce flames. See image below.
- This truck consumes 400 gallons per mile during a race.
- If the afterburner mode is used, the fuel is consumed even faster.



- conventional truck tires. 85 pounds of tread shaved off each one to reduce the weight (mass) of the tire and to keep the tread from separating and flying off when traveling at 300 mph.
- All-wheel, large-diameter disc brakes are used on each wheel. See image below.
