blueghost510 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 This is not my car, but takes the cake on the most exotic swap I've seen!

HRH Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Haha, now THAT is interesting! Wonder how fast it is? Link to comment
DAT510 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 i'll only buy it if it comes with the flux capacitor, and a lifetime supply of jet fuel Link to comment

Lonestar Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I looked for video and found this one .......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtUdhkJvjZo Kick ass vid Penny! As for the car selling....no way would I pay 16k for that, not worth it, you go through all that to put a turbine engine in the thing and you don't fix or paint anything. Just plain lazy if you ask me. Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 That's pretty awesome but I was hoping for a better looking ZX! :( 1 Link to comment
DAT510 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I was waiting for him to punch it and roast the tires... Nope, just whack fly bys Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Redirect the wasted thrust to the back, I wouldnt paint it, but it should get good mpg. maybe an afterburner?? Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Chrysler made 50 or so turbine cars back in '63. One was in a movie I remember seeing as a teenager. I forget the mileage but the turbine is revved up even when idling and really sucks gas. Jay Leno has one. Link to comment
Sealik Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 There was a show on TV last week that featured a couple of concept cars...this (1951) was one of them. Believe it idled at 13,000 RPM......non conducive for collecting groceries Link to comment
Nice140Y Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 That's pretty awesome but I was hoping for a better looking ZX! :( He spent all his $$ on the turbine... :unsure: Link to comment
laotsu Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 210HP at the shaft with all that noise? PASS Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Your really just buying the turbine and controllers at that price. Love that he used a Turbo ZX :lol: Link to comment
sick620 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 its pricy . but damn that shit is tight.. sounds like a jet... If I had 16k throw away dollars I would love that.. but 16k could get me something realistic so until im a multimillionaire I probably wont ever own one... :) Link to comment
