The JATO powered Chevy was debunked on the british car mailing list about
1.5 years ago by a bunch of listers/engineers who new enough about JATO
thrust, automobile wind resistance, etc. to determine that a the
contraption would not have anywhere near the top speed of 350 mph. (It was
in the 100's). This thread (I wish I saved it) went on for a week or two
with the engineers calculating the acceleration and speeds for JATO asisted
Bugeye sprites, minis, etc.
