I put this little gem together back in 1987.  It's an FZR1000, nitrous injected with a solid fuel Jet Assisted Take-Off Rocket mounted under the seat.  The rocket was made by Canadian Bristol Aerojet and was used on the early Fairchild Aircraft Metro II commuter aircraft.  It puts out 350 lbs of thrust with a 12 second burn.  I still have the bike, but the rocket has been removed.

OMFG!!!  I've always dreamed of building a solid rocket engine for a car, but you, sir, have some serious balls.  

ETA:  I'd love to see your Frankenstein M16 again -- the one where you connected two M16's with the gas systems criss-crossed.
