I think this is a good idea since people are asking for faster turtles, so why not send them off on your track and then dismount them at a later point.

I think they should be able to still run code while in the mine cart and have the option to eject or go into any mine cart at any time.

I would also like to see for maybe double the fuel they can power themselves like furnace mine carts with the same power ( 1 horizontal before 1 vertical by itself ).

I think this could be a balanced solution to getting turtles around quicker

Even though it's been locked because it's been declined before, I'd like to make a note here:
If you simply want your turtles to move around faster, you can have one turtle break the turtle needed to move somewhere, place him in a chest minecart, send the minecart on it's way, then suck out the turtle on the other side. After that, you can place the turtle, then turn it on with another turtle.
Turtles in minecarts as a separate minecart will not happen, but you can get them around faster with what you already have.
