Um, 60,000 horsepower TT? >>>
So I was cleaning my office this weekend, and came across plans for a power plant I was involved in building about a year ago, based on a 60,000 shp gas turbine (GE Power Systems LM6000) running on Natural Gas.
This guy with the 1,100 HP TT made me think of this... maybe we could retrofit one of these suckers into a TT? Obviously we'd need some other upgrades (clutch, tranny, suspension, and a couple others) but the thing would FLY!
Dunno 'bout a bare turbine, but the full LM6000 package only runs a few million

No pictures of the car, but some pictures anyway >>>

The really tall thing is the exhaust. Only about 100 feet tall. The big yellow thing is the air intake.
Sorry the pic is so small, all I have handy. (Yes, this is the plant I actually worked on)

Anything's possible... just not always practical. <shrug>
I'm no engine expert or anything, but there isn't a whole hell of a lot of room to put a readily available V-8 in there.
