I saw Shockwave up close & personal at our local air show last June. Standing roughly 75-80 yards behind that truck in the crowd when it went full out afterburner, SHIT THAT THING WAS THE LOUDEST ANYTHING AT ALL I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE AND HOT ENOUGH TO LIGHT MY CIGARETTE AT THAT DISTANCE!!!!!!!!
Imagine blasting past a Ferrari in that thing. They'd be driving down the road thinking they are hot shit. Then out of nowhere the earth starts to shake gently beneath their wheels. The confusion sets in slowly. They might wonder if they are having an engine problem. All of a sudden their chests are vibrating and all they hear is a deafening roar as they see a blur of semi truck and flaming death blaze past them at 200 mph. It'd be glorious for sure.
Yes,it is absolutely great I totally recommend buying it its rommy,big and it gets you from a to b quite fast and most importantly it's efficient as a proud!though for some reason I keep getting tickets because its too loud somehow but other than that it's great!and it's also the perfect starter
The first six years this video had about 15 views. Its since strangely skyrocketed recently. No idea why. Whats even stranger are people subscribing. Oooo K.
I have actually seen a truck just like this race a fucking airplane at a big show I went to years back, incredible machines if all you want is a straight line. I still remember the heat of the thrusters, just incredible to see and feel!
The truck has three Westinghouse J34-48 jet engines, with a total output of 36,000 horsepower, which allows the truck to complete the quarter-mile in 6.63 seconds. Shockwave is currently being driven by Chris Darnell, who uses the truck to compete against planes going 300 miles per hour (480 km/h) in a rolling drag race at airshows, often winning. It consumes fuel at a rate equal to 400 gallons per mile, even more when the afterburners are activated. To slow the truck down at the end of a race it needs 2 aircraft parachutes
Imagine being in an apocalypse with this beast of a semi! It would be called "The Demolisher" and it would have spikes installed on the front bumper to slice through some zombies!
All the people heading out to their vehicles might as well sit back down and watch the fireworks. Last time I was at NED it took almost 2 hours to get out of the parking lot.
Renewable energy at its finest.

This is not for daily use

RIP Chris Darnell you were an absolute legend when it comes to jet powered vehicles, be watching videos of your trucks since 2010.

I don't remember if it was the same truck cuz I know more than one like it exists, but I saw one race an airplane taking off and that was pretty sick
Wow
The loudest thing I ever heard m1a1 abrams 120 mm main gun I was a tanker
But this thing wow !!!!
Pure spectacle. I have never seen anything cooler, or more American, in my life. **single tear**
The most eco friendly I ever saw
Stupid
This is not for daily use
Fighter jets do the same thing
@@daryllfugurson8081 but no for only the fun
Yes 4 ltrs per second, thats really eco-friendly!!!!!
It's like a symphony, that dragon is very beautiful
I suddenly wanna roast marshmallows
I thought "Night Drive" by AAR was about to start playing at one point lol. *boom, boom, boomboomboom!*
if we win the lottery we are sooooo getting one of these for weekend trips out. Forget your Italian super cars.... this would be so much fun.

This is quite possibly the most American thing I’ve ever seen
That is a sick ass rig I like the way it runs
Best Electric car I have ever seen
those fireworks look like fireflies in comparison
If you've never experienced a jet car like this in person then you are totally missing out.
Ive seen him for years as a kid at the diesel truck nationals
Is this okay for daily commute? I'm planning on buying one.

Best Uber ride ever!
Only if you blast the song Move Bitch on your way there. 🎶 Move bitch get out the way 🎵
Family fun for everyone. Rated highly in safety and customer satisfaction. Great for beginning drivers. Just bought my daughter one for her 16th
Yeah, better and more efficient than a formula car
189 mph for a truck has to be a record.
It can go 343 mph lol
Shockwave is the worlds fastest semi truck
@@bossman436 can you really call it a semi truck when the cargo doesn't survive being hauled by it?
kmph?
This this was able to do well over 300mph. Emphasis on WAS. R.I.P Chris Darnell
RIP TO A LEGEND
Smoke reduction device? Environmental protection? Let's do a truck race.
The most american thing ever created by man. God, i love it!
When the truck driver had a critical deadline to make
After 6 years :D?

I was lucky to see this truck in person. I think I got it on video using a VHS camcorder.

Good ol NH jet cars under the stars.
amazing 10/10
the preshow was longer than the actual show
I think the pre-show IS the show. Otherwise it just flies down the track in a few seconds and its gone.
to the moon
Very impressive what a monster
How do you felt since you was there
YOOO BROOO WWWTTTFFF OMMMGG 🔥😳🔥😳🔥
あぁ~、地球に優しいエコエネルギー＾＾
海外の狂ったドラッグレース観てると、

3:25 of wasting fuel showing off for an 8 seconds of awesome hauling ass 189 mph.
That's a 1/4 mile run I guess, no 1/8 mile.
Km?speed? Please david
@@bettojackson8327 You do the math, I'm too old to mess with it. I love MPH, And lucky enough to be able to have to use it daily.
@@bettojackson8327 Aprox. 298kmh. The whole universe uses kmh only the usa uses mph lol
@@davldbradley6073 wow thank you men
@@blackbonex the UK uses mph on it's roads. Didn't have to travel very far in the whole universe to find somewhere else huh?
Yes officer, its stock
Imagine being in an apocalypse with this beast of a semi! It would be called "The Demolisher" and it would have spikes installed on the front bumper to slice through some zombies!
problem would be fuel and many things tbh
@@RixonX No shit
I saw more videos of jet engine race but what happen in end of the race its like blast... could you please provide full footage.

Damn fuel gauge must have drop hard
