That's actually real, you can get those jet engines at a fairly cheap price and if you know how to rebuild them you can have alot of fun with them. My dad bought one about a year ago and has been tinkering with it in his garage (hopefully some of his mechanical ability was passed on to me). Although I almost became a darwin award winner when we fired it up as it was sitting on the back of his pick-up and it started to shoot forward because we couldnt' hold it in place by ourselves. Luckily he had a built in kill switch that he was able to pull in time before any damage was done. I'll call him tomorrow and find out the specs on the turbine itself, I believe it is one that sits inside fighter jets and is used to spin up the main jet engine...I think I might even have pics of us firing his off somewhere...but I dont' know about taking on a modena, that guy might have been sandbagging it a bit.
