I wonder what a police officer would say when he pulled you over?

I'm almost gonna buy it just for the turbines.Those t58s are worth about 300k each if you can trace all the parts and have them certified as airworthy.I wonder where he got them.

looks like you would kill yourself in that car. and why would they put two jet engines. I guess that car is only good for setting a world record speed in a street car.


18.000 looks like a pretty good deal for the jet engines.

I'm pretty sure if you the engines work and you tried to use them on that car, both engines would tear through the car and through your brain.

I'm just curious as to how you'd go about "driving" it. You know, open the garage door, get in the car, put the key in...fire up the turbines. What about a transmission, brakes, reverse and FUEL!? Not mention how would you go cruising about the town in stop and go traffic...or like kaffine said, melting windshields and frying unlucky cyclists and joggers.

why do you think they abandonned the turbine powered cars?!? the exhaust will not only melt the windshields, but think about the Saturns!!!

I think it needs a bigger wing or maybe a "type R" badge or something.
