Now that is some setup. The T-58 is a small turboshaft jet engine capable of 1500 hp. It weighs about 350 lb.

You really have to admire the workmanship and effort required to accomplish this.

He's effectively got 3000 hp pushing a 3500 lb. vehicle.

I'm sure it would be good for well over 300 mph if you could keep it stable.

But, the best thing about it are those two handles on the console.
There needs to be a label below those handles:

$hitbox Roaster

Just wait until a $hitbox comes up within about 30 feet to take a look.

I should buy it just for the satisfaction of taking it to a California smog inspection referree station.

Maybe someone could fabricate come clamshell reverse thruster mechanisms for it like on the DC-9's and MD-80's, there's your reverse there.

(On the hunt for a good used M103 engine as of 6/10/23, PM me if you have one to sell!)

I'll have to be insane to get in a car with 4 tanks full of aircraft fuel , but it is neat, I'll like to know how many hours it took to do this.

Tailgate would need to be redefined.

If anybody was within 100 feet of the exhaust, the heat would probably burn the paint right off the vehicle.

Do they make any stage IV compliant hush kits for this car so the neighbors won't complain when I start up in the morning?

Oh, you don't need to worry about starting it up. It won't wake them out of bed at idle.

But, shove those two throttles forward and you can knock the coffee cups right off the saucers.

If you have a diesel, you practically do that already, it's just all in one tank. Heck, I'd rather have tanks with kerosene or diesel than gasoline!

Each one of those engines would consume 128 gallons per hour at maximum power.

Even at reduced power levels, it's going to be a very short ride in that vehicle.

I can't imagine it holding more than about 80 gallons of fuel.

Hehe, at max power it WOULD be a short ride in that vehicle.
