240Z-DET Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Ricer? No. Insane? Yes. Ricer's want to be fast, this dude is. I wonder what it could do in the 1/4 mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 jet engines are slow off the line. wouldn't be surprised if it takes 8 seconds to hit 60 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustrocket Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Not only is he insane, he's an *******. Being local to him (literally within 10 miles), i figured it might be kinda cool to check out his car. So, i sent him an e-mail, that basically said, i really liked his car, i admired his engineering skills (noting that they far exceed my own), and that we has an inspiration. His response was the following: "My level of engineering exceeds most people. That said, get off your *** and do something about it. I’m far away from you and generally don’t like meeting people.

grumpyvette Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 if that really was his responce your assesment seems correct..hes not the only total F%&&** when I was planning my garage I stopped by a guys house I didn,t know who had just built a similar garage, on the corner of a busy street, I walked up to his front door and inquired if I could talk to him about who did the plans and work, the guy acted, like I was asking permission to burn down his house and rape his wife, he ordered me off the property and told me never to return, it was his garage and not my bussiness . yeah theres total #$%^&&* everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustrocket Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Grumpy, I cut and pasted that right out of my e-mail. It's a shame that there's so many ***holes out there with so much money and cool toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I wonder what would happen if you turned the wheels a little with the jet lit? Would the thrust of the jet keep pushing the car straight ahead? Or would the jet spin the car like a broke bottle rocket? Or would it turn normally? That's some nice work. It's a shame he's an *******. Perhaps Darwin will improve his attitude. jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweakinZs Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 That VW is nuts...hands down. The scooter hes got is even more nuts. Its a shame hes an a-hole but, more than some people with money to burn like that is. I would figure it would turn fairly normal, unless of course hes actually got the turbine spinnig up to speed, I dont think those piddly little stock wheels would turn it too well. Maybe he should get his head out of his a$$ and upgrade.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I've seen it in person... And yes it does looks that silly. I'm not saying it's not cool, but it's just odd. Doesn't suprise me he's a jerk though, seems like people with projects of high calibur like this are either super cool or super rude. Kinda wierd the way that works.

Ansel Marrow Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Heh, I rode a Honda Metro to school before I got my zcar. Id love to see what it would do with those dual jet engines. Those things barely break 38mph, brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Back in the 50's chrystler came out with a turbine powered car. They only made a few models as a prototypes. They weren't that efficent so the trash canned the whole thing. The last one to sell sold at an auction for about 2.3 mil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatcarguy350 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I can see it now....A huge turbine engine jutting out the hatch of a 240Z. I hope they address the poor aerodynamics before they begin. Nothing like seeing a car take flight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
