Anyone heard of them? Used them? Got one now collecting dust? I read a neat article about them but wondered if any one has actually tried to use one for their 3rdgen, or if they have all been melted down into limited edition commemorative coins.
Its pretty much only drag technology, because you have a turbine engine connected to your rear end. It really hard on the rear, and they stopped making them a really long time ago.
Its cool, but why!?

Just wondering if anyone here was OLD enough to remember seeing them in peson... Neat concept though, definitly conversation-piece stuff.

Yeah, they are really old tech. If you look at the way the thing is built in the pictures you can see that it is mainly meant for old bolt together style rears like old Studabaker truck rears and old Ford rears (pre 9").
It was an interesting article, and a neat idea though.
