I know I do ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Now that's funny.  I would have went one step further.   Put some clip on wings on the sides and see how far she would go.......

Ooh, and only 18 grand!

You think he'd take a '89 Gs500e as a trade?

The dash on it reminds me of the Delorean in Back To The Future. That alone is worth the 18 Gs.

I didnt see a "Flux Capacitor"

I think thats an urban legend and was proved false by mythbusters

$60,000 engines in a $5,000 car.  Real smart.   :lol:

Bet I would never be late to work in that!

LoL i saw that on another forum

I e-mailed the seller and he sent me two short clips of it running on the salt flats and what appers to be a closed runway.  That thing screams

If anyone wants a copy I'll fwd it your way

send me the vids.

yeah, i would love to see the clips too.

i bet Insurence would be a REAL kick in the wallet.

And i remember hearings a story about a chevelle/Malibu using Rocket Assist Takeoff  boosters, used them on Huge planes liek C130's and stuff, huge logistic suport aircraft and whatnot

The helicopters I worked on used T58-5 engines, which were TURBOSHAFT engines. The -3 should just be an earlier version of it.  Not that much  thrust there.   So unless he has them hooked into the driveline, he's not going anywhere.

Don Garlits built a dragster using a T58-10, here's a link. It's the car on the top of the page.

I'm gonna start saving now...  

I wonder how I'm going to get $18,500 in 2 days, 8 hours...

Donations accepted!   :lol:

QuoteSo unless he has them hooked into the driveline, he's not going anywhere.

Yeah, I didn't quite get that either.  Definately muchos negative points for the execution.  Obviously somebody had a set of T58s burning a hole in their hangar floor.

I would have put a Rolls-Royce 250-C40B under the hood and left it at that.  It would actually be streetable then.  God, I love that little engine.  Continuous 600 SHP with a 2.5 minute limit of about 715 SHP.   All that in a 250lb package about the size of a kitchen garbage can.  Only downside are the $24,000 service manuals.  (not a joke)  :mrgreen:

I don't think there's a single helicopter/turboprop mechanic out there that doesn't think about what to do with those "orphan" engines in the back room.   :dunno:

It looks like this isn't the first car this guy has built like this... Seems to have an obsession with turbines! ...
