I just ordered one of those for my mini-van. Luckily, NAPA had them on sale, so I was able to squeeze it into my budget.

Those things are monsters. Just by way of comparison, The RR Trent, the big Trent, pulls some thing on the order of 100,000 hp to run its compressor, the residual thrust is used for incidental purposes- lofting the triple7. Its all relative. The bit about those BIG diesels that amazes me is that they turn so slowly that alot of pretty heavy maintenance can be done on 'em while they're running.
