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. Ken |

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

No. Everyone knows you can't turbine a 914! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Or something like that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)
