880hp Jet Powered Corvette C3 is street legal
How is this street legal?
from the article: Looks like a C3 Corvette. Sounds like a jet. Peter Valdes-Dapena takes this 880 hp monster for a drive. 8 pictures and video in the gallery . |

How is it not street legal? You'd have to constantly be on the brakes if you lived in town.

Jay Leno owns and drives multiple jet powered road legal cars and motorcycles. California road legal.... He'll there was even a car made by Chrysler way back in the day that had a jet type engine. Turbo fan engine I believe which is the same idea.

Ah, the Chrysler gas-turbine engine. I even saw one of those at a car show a few years ago. That was an idea that just never caught on.
