Animal motor works makes high power solid fuel rocket motors- do I finally have an accessory that will give me that performance boost I've always wanted??

Stick one of these babies under the GS's tail, pull in the clutch and let 'er rip! Over 1000lbs thrust for almost 4 seconds- can anyone do the maths for the top speed of a wet GS500? Now to get that C.A.R. license...

Where do you get those?

budget speed demon · January 15, 2006, 05:27:53 PM

how much, and I'll take 10!!! lol

annguyen1981 · January 15, 2006, 06:00:55 PM

Put me down for a couple to try out!

Alphamazing · January 15, 2006, 06:17:46 PM

Just don't install them backwards!

...or mix two.

I wonder how far one would throw 160lbs, though...

Makes me want to build a jet pack out of them. 4 seconds of flying followed by 4 seconds of free fall followed by a week in the hospital with cute nurses.

Hmm, a personal JATO tube eh?

seen footage of some of those Sportsman rocket launches. they get serious about thier hobby man.

Hey Alpha, Thankz for the idea! I have been lacking in the women department...

But with my luck, I'd be taken care of by "Big Lucy"

budget speed demon · January 15, 2006, 08:05:53 PM

yeh but Big Lucy is beautiful on the inside... and thats all that really matters.

Big Lucy is still better than Big Larry.

The real men set them up in series, then you can go zoooooom for more then just a tiny 4 seconds.

finmac · January 17, 2006, 02:39:54 PM

I'm seriously considering this, just for a blast

and to get it on camera, not the 1000lb one ($800 a pop) but maybe a 200 to start... any engineering minds out there with suggestions for mounting/operation? Gonna need some good welds and get the geometry bang on, maybe a steering stabilizer as well. Some sorta heat protection too so I dont leave a trail of melted rubber/flesh. oh yeah and one of those kevlar jock straps...

RVertigo · January 17, 2006, 03:00:15 PM

I can just see getting the GS up to 80 MPH in the flats and hitting that thing...

FLIP, crash, flip, crash, flip, crash, flip, crash, flip, sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiide...

You strap that thing on wrong and you're looking for a world of hurt.

NightRyder · January 17, 2006, 04:18:44 PM

Gah, what are you guys thinking. This is totally the wrong idea. It is supose to make things fly!

BIG

Tall!

something!

Not me.. look here.

^too cool!

This thread can only end with somebody getting hurt

bubba zanetti · January 17, 2006, 05:47:42 PM

So does that mean that you could strap them to your back & use them as a rocket pack ?
