Is this the future of Hot Rodding?
While I enjoy browsing through this site I have not posted. This is purely for entertainment value. But also could be the future of Hot Rodding. This guy adds three small jet engines to his Tesla. The engineering and craftsmanship is very good. The end result may not be worth it.

The YouTuber with the Tesla is named "Warped Perception". Many of his videos are....unusual.

I've seen many videos like this. It's cool, but not the future. In the future, vehicles will likely burn electricity rather than fuel, and I don't believe that a traction vehicle will be replaced anytime soon by blown air propulsion.
I am impressed with the commitment to create and test that system, though. |

Uh, those are R/C aircraft turbines....Even the smallest of the Williams jet engines are roughly 8-10 times larger than those. The fuel burn is about what you would expect with a turbine.

I was impressed with the fact that he had the extremely high pressure water jet cutting machine. Must be worth $$.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
