GE makes some bad ass turbine engines, bad ass electric motor's too. I've always wanted to take an Abram Tank's turbine engine and put it into a Bus RV. They build 6,000hp electric motor's for the diesel electric haul trucks too. Awesome stuff.

How long before two of these bad boys end up in a pulling tractor? That would be worth drinking too ;D
