Those things may be bad taste, but the power is pretty awesome. My dad
knew Art Arfons - he was the first guy to put a jet engine in a car. He
held several records in his lifetime, and still holds one for some odd
thing like fastest drive in an open car. I've heard some pretty odd
stories on Art - and I think he is still around and kicking (but no longer
driving jet powered cars).
This may actually belong on the british cars list, not mgs, but I thought
I'd contribute to the discussion. It is a british team that currently
holds the land speed record, just over mach one.
