  10. What's the feasibility of putting a heavily modified turboprop engine
  11. into a car? With the prop removed(of course) ,the shaft running out the
  12. back instead of  the front, a turbine compressor on the front with
  13. variable bypass, and appropriate gearing? It seems to me this would make
  14. a pretty high performance car with greater fuel efficiency.

  16. Thanks,
