What's the worst thing you've seen a big engine go into?

I've seen that V8 Kitten... it was actually quite nicely engineered IIRC. It was many years ago though. Must have been mid '90's. Sat alongside it was a Ford BDA engined Skoda Rapide.... again mid mounted!

What about 'Shockwave'???

The triple Pratt & Witney engines allow this antic (for example)

In a typical show, an aircraft approaches the jet truck from behind, flying at about 200 mph (321.8 km/h).
The Shockwave jet truck accelerates from zero to 300 mph in about 11 seconds in an attempt to catch up with the plane overhead.!!!!!!!!
