Performance you ask? The ShockWave Jet Truck runs over 300 mph racing airplanes at air shows; holds the world record in a quarter mile for trucks at 256 mph in just 6.36 seconds; and holds the world record for full size trucks at 376 mph as recorded by Guinness Book of World Records. At 36,000 horsepower, the ShockWave has enough power to accelerate at 3 Gs vertical, which is as much as the Space Shuttle!

Well, thats about 3 times the size of the ones that are usually on ricers.. and the Truck is 50 times the size, so.. i think it could goa little bigger
btw, it is impressive that they got that thing to go that fast, but.. with the method's that they are using, im wondering why they wouldent get it to go faster.

It has jets? How lame.
You could accelerate a big lump of rock by attaching enough jets to it.

Why not design the thing to be a little more... aerodynamic?

But think... it could probably get another 2-3 mph out of it if it had a wizard hat on the front. But I guess the look resonates with the crowd, so that matters most.

I dare say I am not the most accomplished of graphic artists (I am about to pay rep a visit and give him handsome cash to show me how to graphically art like a master) , so please bear with me as the scale and exact location of the wizard hat might be off a bit
