I know that if I had spent a considerable amount of time on a project such as this, I would probably not like to hear what an INSANE idea it is from people i don't know.
I'm willing to be proved wrong on this (not that I really have a point to prove), but I don't believe the definition of a fast car should be limited to how well it goes in a straight line (unless it's a land speed record attempt or a drag racer). Remember the urban legend about the guy who strapped a jet engine onto the back of his pickup truck and accellerated at over 300mph into a hillside...?
Enjoy your fuel bills!

Thank you very much for the 'exceedingly talented engineer' compliment. and I accept your apology. Thanks also to the membership for providing my message board with 3 new members, who apparently didn't know it existed prior to this thread.
