Thanks to Mr. Coop, I got to read about Turbonique, purveyors of the craziest technology ever to grace 1960s hot-rodding.

Independently powered superchargers. Direct-drive 1000-hp auxiliary turbine motors for cars. Rocket-powered go-karts capable of sub-9-second quarter miles with 160+mph trap speeds.

It makes me weep with joy just to know this stuff ever existed.
