OMG...that would be awesome on a car....drop a differant rear axle into the festy and run around all day getting your 40 plus mpg....then when the time is right....unleash the beast beneath....lol

I wonder if they still can make these things. I think I saw something on the History Channel once about these. Arn't they basically a small jet engine?

[FlowmasterFestiva]

if you would put a one of them on a festy and didnt highly strengthen the unibody/frame it would shread it it would be cool to do that though

[GenevaDirt]

would be no torque on the body...would just need to make sure it didn't push the rear axle through to the front of the car....lol

[muscle_Car1]

Yeah jet turbine engine & what looks to be a trans axle

[Sleeper]

Holy Crap!!!!!

I just can't figure out why no one would not still make those things......If I had money to burn I'd buy the rights to that and start the assembly line!.....Hmmmm one of those in a smart car?????

:twisted:

Yup, that's one of the rarest hot rod pieces I've ever seen. I've never seen one for sale before: most people hang on to those until they're dead. You can pretty much guarantee that if Steve Magnante at Hot Rod magazine hears about this, there'll be steam shooting out his ears!

You don't carry much fuel. It like that Jame Bond jetpack,
you got 60 seconds of thrust.

Turbine Go-cart or Snowmobile, anyone? :twisted:

[kuntry_boi06]

wow im pretty sure that is the most insane thing i have ever seen.
gives a new definition to "balls to the walls" with the whole go-kart powered by a jet engine going 240 MPH!!!

[solatare]

very interesting. wonder how many pounds of thrust that makes.
