Dude, I've rode in many a hot rod in my day....BUT...
The cake taker was right out here at the LVMS road course...a Shelby product..the pace car.
Very little tire noise (squeal) .......all grip and acceleration.
It was all I could do to brace myself and keep my head up in the corners....
I'd known of Shelby all my life, but that was the first, first hand experience.....just....damn!
In my last Shelby post, I was talking to the rep on the red one...725 hp....he was almost apologetic when he said, "we've ran it wide open and it topped out at 197 mph...200 mph was the goal...we are working on that!"
Ummmm....yea....
Damn!

In 1968 I was ready to hang up my sneakers and get down to doing some fishin our local ricers with my Chillin so I traded in the legendary 1965 GTO I had drag raced for 3 seasons on a Black 1968 Chebbie Step Side Pick Up. In 1970 my Dairy farming buddy brought by a 70 SS 454 Chevelle with the LS6 with Ram Air and said I want you (Me) to trick it out and go drag racin with it.
In our next chapter I will elaborate on the brutal power of that MoFo...

In 1970 my buddy bought a used 1969 'Cuda.
340, 6-pack, factory paint, zebra scheme - dark green / black. That thing looked wicked fast, parked.
We determined that there was an issue with the 3 duce setup, take it to the dealer for repair.
I was at the dealer (parts delivery job) when he pulled in....nose just in the door....got everybody's attention...a beast has arrived!
After all the crap we had been through, oh my - the third two barrel has not opened up "for some time".......
That beast had a top end of 120 mph......
But it would get to 120 mph in a flash.
Had to appear in court as a witness for a speeding ticket the buddy got....the Judge said, "there is no car that can be that fast!"....ummm, "Your Honor....you bet your ass there is....ever had a ride in a 340 / 'Cuda?"
The Judge dismissed the case because he refused to believe that a car could do as charged.....0 - mack 1 in 3 blocks....the cop was pissed...we were laughing....

Weird... I posted a reply to your Cuda post and it got lost in Never Never Land?
Anyway I can't say I have ever seen a better defense than yours..
