Bummer, Joe.

Dan, one commonly overlooked tactic is to, using a ball pein hammer, make 2" dents throughout the metal body work of the vehicle. If it works for golf balls, it should work for SUV's.

Add chrome and "R Type" stickers, that oughta put her over the top!

EDIT: Damn!, do NOT forget to install one of those "Turbolator" things...the electric supercharger or whatever it is, that'll double your horsepower and cut your fuel consumption to like 50 mpg!

That technique can also help produce the required "wind in the rear"

And given Joe's predicament, I suspect that the new hydrogen/methane powerplant will first be developed in India or Mexico. Hmm - I wonder... if they mix bateria-laced ice with E-coli-burritors that may produced some better power - sort of like a cold-air intake system. . .

i know a guy at BAE who can make available some obsolete rocket motor... only runs for about 5 secs, it's a bit experimental and very temperamental, but he told me he'de give me his pink slip to his Aston if the SUV doesn't hit 240mph...

might require some minor fabrication though...

Hmm - you mean like this?



Or how about a Jetson's type scooter for inspiration for a Jet powered SUV?



Click here for more info.

Slap on a couple of those Jets, and the SUV will likely hit 165 just prior to melting down to a simmering heap of metal....
