Default 367 mph and jet powered

Alright, who is gonna swap this into their S?

The yellow American-style school bus has been fitted with a jet engine from a Phantom fighter plane, allowing it to reach up to 367mph.

Paul Stender and his team from Indy Boys Inc, based in Indianapolis, USA adapted the bus which uses a full tank of 150 gallons of fuel in just one quarter-mile run.

Mr Stender's creation, which he has dubbed 'The School Time Jet-Powered School Bus', also fires out 80 foot flames from the back creating massive clouds of smoke.

I'd be worried about riding in that thing... not a very safe chassis:

He said: "I bought it just as an old school bus, but I have to say only about five percent are original parts.
"Actually a lot of it is hand-crafted and the types of metals used would be more at home on an aircraft.
"There's still some bus left on it, a little bit on the front. And of course the door handle and the door are all original.

I actually saw that @ Ft. Bliss last year at the air show. It was pretty cool but had to do a couple U-turns to get warm
