For immediate release
Drivers start your jet engines!
Ever wondered what a jet pilot experiences when he sits in the cockpit of his plane? Kevin Therres knows what it is like. He literally pilots the ‘007’ 2007 Corvette jet car down the drag strip. Watch as the flames reach back and scorch everything in its path at the Convention Centre in Winnipeg on March 30 to April 1, 2007.
This amazing jet car is coming to the World of Wheels Car Show. “You won't believe it but this jet car runs on 100% canola based biodiesel,” says car owner and driver Kevin Therres. Biodiesel is a proven, renewable and clean-burning fuel source that is supplying an increasing amount of energy in the EU and US. In fact, biodiesel is the fastest growing alternative fuel in the US.
The ‘007’ is a 2007 Chevrolet Corvette with a J60 Pratt and Whitney jet engine that runs on biodiesel. This car will throw massive flames, do some impressive pops, and create a cloud of smoke so large you will lose the car in it. This 7500 horse power machine burns 15 gallons of biodiesel per run. It is fully loaded with a hand built after burner, Good Year tires, Wildwood brakes, Strange disc and hubs, and chute metal parachutes.
