This is not a jet engine - just look a the exhaust nozzle. It's not variable (it should be, regarding the afterburner), in fact it's just a piece of cheaply bent sheet metal featuring a gap.
By the way, a jet engine running in reheat mode (i.e. at maximum thrust + whatever the AB delivers, but usually 50% on top) would simply propel that little car off the road.

I didn't pay $2000 dollars for my 5hp, I was smart and bought the Turbonator and the Tornado. I was the first to have a custom RX-8 TT.

here is a nice video of a go kart with a jet engine.
VIDEO
Imagine somehow installing one in a car and have a pipe that leads out from the back of the jet to the rear bumper looking like an exhaust pipe. You would pass someone on the street and they would here that sound as you passed them!

Here's a direct link to the jet beetle video (the one from the page said the video could not load for me but this one worked...) Meh, I wouldn't be able to decide whether I fully believe it or not unless I knew about turbine mechanics.
