125mph Ford Hyper Rocket

I came across this and all I could think was how cool. This Ford engineer is so passionate about cars and speed that on top of his job he used his spare time to build a rocket car. It's a bit ungainly looking, but still pretty cool.



Original Article:
Jalopnik - Ford Engineer Builds 125 MPG "HyperRocket" In Spare Time - hyperrocket

What about you all, do you like the hyper rocket, or would you rather see some other vehicle (possibly a Ford) turned into a rocket car?

Re: 125mph Ford Hyper Rocket

I was thinking it would be fun to see a Mustang rocket. Also, I would love to see an old Windstar turned into a rocket, wonder if it would shake itself to pieces?
