I would pay to see that take a bend.

LOL....What I would like to see is a middi with a helicopter engine driving the rear wheels.....That would sound awsome!

after watching the videos, it doesn't look like it goes fast enough to give you more than a grazed knee

Someone in the UK has build a DAX Rush using an Jet engine from a Bell Ranger helicopter if I'm not mistaking,

the entiry driveline weighed something like a 100KG's and produced the equivalent of 300hp or something in that aera, the turbine was however used to drive a driveshaft instead of it being proppeld by combustion thrust.

Now where did I leave that piccie?

edit:
Ah here it is

That C5 sounds even cooler than a bec. I bet a 90 degree bend on the end of the exhost pipe would make the handling interesting.

The Rush was built by the R&D guy at Dax. Not sure of his surname but his name is Gary.
