Description
Shockwave 1. Originally built by Les Shockley in 1984, this souped-up Peterbilt Semi has three Pratt & Whitney J34-48 jet engines, the same type used in the US Navy's T2 Buckeye training aircraft. Arranged in a triangular formation at the rear of the truck, each jet puts out a staggering 12,000-horsepower for a total output of 36,000hp and 19,000 pounds of static thrust. Guinness World Records clocked Shockwave at a screaming 376mph. It'll cover a standing quarter mile in just six and a half seconds. The truck weighs about 7,000 pounds. Stopping power comes from massive all-wheel disc brakes and a pair of military-grade parachutes that produce an impact of negative 9G when deployed. Shockwave burns through 180 gallons of diesel fuel per performance.Stopping power comes from massive all-wheel disc brakes and a pair of military-grade parachutes that produce an impact of negative 9G when deployed. Admittedly, fuel consumption isn't exactly light. Shockwave burns through 180 gallons of diesel fuel per performance. Current owner and driver Neal Darnell, of Darnell Racing Enterprises, bought Shockwave in 2012 and comprehensively rebuilt and updated the rig in 2012.
