[[JATO story elided]]

Unfortunately this great story never seems to have actually happened:

http://www.snopes.com/autos/dream/jato.asp

I'm interested to find out from that page that apparently Dodge actually
tried this, and a JATO unit only got the car up to 140 mph.  Apparently
it would take at least two units to produce anything like the effects in
the story.
