ok that is positively awesome.

and very realistic since the actual stratos'es were built from the parts bin of other cars as well

Okay after reading the article it is a 1971, not a bad vette but the 70's vette's are not the best of the breed.

The RD-180 rocked engines are currently used on the US Atlas rockets. It's pretty incredible, Russians are the only ones to have perfected the design since around 1995. US has extended the contract to use them for another few years since there's nothing like it-
Those V2 rockets were stolen from Germany after the war, by US and USSR-soviets also took all the BMW and Junkers jet engines along with more than 6000 scientists and engineers. The team developed the BMW jet engines into the large turboprop monsters used on the Bear bomber. The Soviets also purchased 55 Rolls Royce Nene jet engines and developed the Klimov VK-1

Hey fellas,

Just in case any of you are looking for a last minute gift idea for the wife or girlfriend. Can be found at your local TJ Max stores.

I guess they work really well at releasing pent up tension.
