Jet Powered VW Beetle

Some how, Mechanical Engineer Ron Patrick managed to squeeze a GE Model T58-8F helicopter turboshaft engine into his VW Beetle. This custom Beetle now gets 1,350 horsepower thanks to the jet protruding out the back. This bad boy redlines at 26,000 RPM.
Somehow, this Beetle is still street legal. As long as I’m not behind them at a red light, I’d love to see this thing on the street.
And yeah, that’s one Beetle I’d actually drive.
