    Along the same lines, perhaps the power pack from an M1 Abrams could do the trick. It's a turbine with a transmission to send power to the drive sprockets. Wonder if they do an adaptor to the ZF?

    It would take one hell of a muffler to get it under the legal noise limit You might need to upgrade the brakes too. but it would be a lot of fun . worlds fastest land rover . 0 to splat in one stomp of the loud pedal

    Stap it to the roof and mount a Huge fuel tank under it on the tray and it would make a nice salt racer, drive it there on the standard Diesel engine and then pop it in Neutral and hit the button..........................




    I dont know if you'd be driving it home though.




    I'd be more thinking about some different rubber rather than ratios etc.
