Rear of a jet funny car, with twin parachutes.
Fireforce 3, Jet Funny Car is Driven by Martin Hill JFC3. The Chevrolet Lumina bodied machine has a Pratt and Whitney JFTD12A (J60) engine from a Sikorsky CH-54A Skycrane Helicopter in its chrome-moly constructed chassis. This develops over 5000lbs of thrust and approximately 10,000hp, as it guzzles 120 litres of aviation fuel per appearance on track! It can reach speeds over 300mph and cover a quarter mile in under 6 seconds from a standing start. The driver experiences mind boggling G forces in this machine, with up to 4G during acceleration and up to 7G negative during deceleration.
