then ud have something called turbine lag and it allolags when slowing down, so if u let the throttle go then u have to wait a few secs before u start decelerating, or u can just put it in neutral every time u wanna stop.

all these facts were taken from an article about that turbine cycle... i didnt bother to read that link so if its already in there then i just made it easier for everyone

most likely not since ud have to use airplane fuel, well wait i think u can use diesel. but remember the lag, u stomp the accelerator and go nowhere for 3 seconds, then u blast off

would still suprise the crap out of anyone you were racing. 3....2...1..Zooom. Lag is bad on a motorcycle. I imagine wheelies get dangerous if you can't control the throttle directly.
