he says the air comes in from the windows and sunroof...that doesnt seem that efficient...

when i was looking at it...it looked like he should have made a duct that sucks air from under the car...then it would also probably help it stick to the ground better..that thing looks scary

Josh makes a valid point! Some serious screechin' comes out of the suckin' side of a jet engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Still doesn't beat the Allison V-12 in an Opel GT.

Turbines don't have great acceleration...

Bob Lazar of Area 51 fame had a Honda with a turbine in it..

His plate read "JetYouBet"

Said he didn't kick in the turbine until he was doin 50.

No Howard, it would not work on a 914, but it definitely would work on a certain automatic 996.

A Rolls Royce Merlin in a Silver Shadow.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

They had to strech the chassis to fit the thing up front. That must have been a sight to see. A 27 Liter V12 powering a stretched Rolls Royce, hauling a** down the autobahn...
