    Jet Powered VW Beetle

    1350hp is a good start. So is a 14 inch exhaust pipe.

    There are around 20 cars in the LA area that I know of that have Jet turbines in them scavenged from helicopters. One of them is a 76 Cadillac Seville that has been timed at 220mph.

    kinda! Just dont melt any CHP windshields.

    It still has the stock engine up front so all is coolio at the DMV. The turbine is auxilary power for when 997TT owners begin to fidget with their optional overboost.

    With all of the 2006 Bugatti Veyron production sold out, this maybe the only option if you want a over 1000hp VW.

    It is def quicker in a straight line than a 997TT, Enzo or whatever. In fact, it would scorch them!
