That looks f-in rediculous.

 

That's been on ebay several times... dunno if it's the same seller. That guy made a vid of cruzin on the salt flats. Pretty sweet. I have that link @ home & can post it tonight.

 

Years ago i was actually looking into buildinga turbine engine Z. I needed to know a lot more about turbines though to do that properly. Turnbines usually spin up very slow. Also, from my knowledge a turbine engine of that size should have about 1000+ foot pounds of torque. He lists it as a 350hp engine.... ? A turbine the size of a Mazda rotory would have 350hp...

Interesting engineering excersize, but that's about it.

I've seen it before and it is interesting to look at, but completely useless for what you're getting in the auction.

A turbine conversion with no turbine, unless you want to pay the extra $10k for him to put it back in...

Still, you could get a pretty crazy hybrid Z for less than that money and get an LS6.

 

thats kinda funny i was thinking about that in a dream i say one of thouse 150,000 dollar speed boats on ebay but i thought to my self now thtas krazy ! i didnt want to post my thought because i thought u z people would kick me out...i guess im not as krazy as some people.... lol

 

kick ya out? Naa, They haven't given up on me and this motor of mine yet, surely they won't kick you out.
