There is an Avro Orenda Mark 10 turbine engine !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! :

Clearly someone here on Oppo needs to buy one of these and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

And you get all that thrust for a starting bid of only CAD$5500.

If you weld a cage/platform so the turbine can sit on top, it should fit.

It will look like crap and it might be a little noisy , BUT... 6500 pounds of thrust!!!

Convertibles are all about experiencing all that noise though. It’s perfect!

The car weighs 1500 lbs without the engine, less than 1/4 of the thrust output. Will it be quick enough to merge onto the freeway?

And then there’s the small matter of the exhaust melting the back of the car...

I was thinking in, but on top works.
