Great acceleration, but how well does it corner?

Full story here.

(But does the cruise missile pump ever chirp?)

WTF? F1 motor is essential just a fuel pump??

It will also carry a Cosworth Formula 1 engine, although this will have no direct involvement in driving wheels as it does on a racing car. Instead, the F1 power unit will turn the pump that forces liquid oxidiser into the rocket's fuel chamber.

Yea, that rocket engine slurps up a lot of fuel.

I think they usually use turbines though. 700hp or whatever from a turbine is a joke.
