Weights (was: RE: [Shotimes] Power Seats (Was: Convention 2004 DVD))

well yeah, but JATOs produce about 10,000 pounds thrust per... a little much 
for a 3klb car... if you could rig it so turning the steering wheel would 
angle the jet in the right way... that'd be kinda cool. remember, we're only 
talking 200lbs of thrust here... not exactly fighter jet power here. :P
