I'm no authority on jet engines - but I expect that:



1.  Throttling it back to get to some kind of sane entry speed may be improbable.'

2.  The amount of weight added to rear of the car has to cause stupid understeer.  Even if you add ballast to the front of the car (wild guess:  The former engine compartment may be mostly ballast now).

3.  I cannot imagine how you can redesign the brake system for this engine within the limits of that tiny car's available space.

4.  People who do this are usually bucking for a Darwin Award...kind of like the guys with 50 helium balloons on a lawn chair.

I don't think the track condition was the problem.

I wonder if the engine broke it's mounts and squished the driver.
