Not to be picky, but the power output of a jet engine is measured in pounds of thrust - not bhp.

Yes, it can, but my point is that it's not the industry standard way of measuring power of turbines; the same way you don't say your car has X pounds of thrust - because it doesn't. You are measuring two different things.

The reason why they do that is the 'x pounds of jet thrust' means almost nothing to most car enthusiasts, bhp on the other hand does...

If you brag to your friends about having one of those and then you crash it, it's not good. They can finally say you're full of it ... and they'd be right, unfortunately.

how about this: as the car -er- loo goes by, behind the loud flatulence noises from the jet engine, you faintly hear someone straining. Or plopping noises.
