Has anyone seen the new car Jay Leno is building with some of the GM design guys? It is called the Ecojet (http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/cars/ecojet_shell.shtml). Runs on bio fuel, 650hp, 700+fp tourqe...
Looks pretty sweet (if it were black I think Batman would be envious).

He'd be through the hood so fast they wouldn't know what hit them.

I'm sure you've scene that classic ditty "Man from lox".

Ours swept...upward! Not a good thing when flying but made hangar/carrier parking much easier!:bwgy:

So how do you silence exhaust at 1600 degrees?

My turbo RX-7 puts out 1650 at the block. Fiberglass melts and only lasts a month before it blows it out the tailpipe. So right now I have two inline stainless steel mufflers with all stainless steel packing, but still too loud.
