Well its not drag racing, but it is powered by 2 - 4 cylinder diesel motors, that only operate at 3800 RPM.

Yes he's the driver

These were initially Rolls-Royce Spey 202s from the Phantom fighter, each producing 20,000 pounds of thrust. Richard Noble has acquired two of them, but also has two even more powerful 205 units (25,000lb of thrust) for use when ThrustSSC has proved itself in transonic testing. Thrust SSC thus has the power of 1000 Ford Escorts, or 145 Formula One cars...

It weighs 10 tonnes, and performance estimates confirm it will accelerate from standstill to 100mph (161kph) in four seconds or 0-600mph (1000kph) in 16 seconds. Within five miles (8 km) it will then reach its maximum speed of 850 mph within half a minute.

In 2006, Breedlove's race car was sold to Steve Fossett, who plans to run at Bonneville in 2007, possibly after Speed Week. Steve's target is 800 mph. That's going to be quite a ride.

Holy $hit 800mph on the ground
