You think this would fit?

LOL, imagine that. I saw a show that had Jay Leno on it with his turbine powered motorcycle.

Turbine + 2-Wheels = 237 mph, runnin outta room!!! SICKNESS!!!

LMAO, I know what it is, I used to work on choppers in the Navy. It would be a speed demon though.

What, you guys have never seen trucks with giant rockets?
Or a Batmobile for that matter?

Compared to that, this is nada.

Yea you try putting a rocket in the trunk of your elantra, and we'll see if your chassis holds up to massive G's... I usually see those rockets on like old school firetrucks or heavy mac trucks...

Reminds me of the Ford Ranger I saw on Rides. They had a Bell helicopter engine in it... pretty crazy. A turbine engine isn't really designed to rev like a normal engine, so if you wanted it to drive the wheels you'd probably have to equip it with a fancy CVT in order for it to work. Obviously they figured out how to do it with that Ranger.

It would be way to loud! Just like the bike leno had..would be cool for drag racing....
