That would be interesting to say the least. Especially on the top end and even more so after seeing your numbers.

Hey let's all meet 1/2 way... how about New Mexico

 

Leo - Yah, I'm partial to the cdc. I've never seen it in person though. Saturday will seal the deal on which one I go with.

Brian - Thanks for the heads up. I will let you know Saturday what happens. I'm hoping to do this mod early next month.

 

Check out these stripes on the Shelby KR's glass roof. Ray I think you should do this mod.

George very interesting, hope it works. Can you tell us the eBay source you got the key from? I might jump on this as I like the all in one deal.

 

Half way could also be Indiana...... bring it on, Trooper.



That looks great!

 

No that would likely be Texas wouldn't it?

We got enough extra rooms in the house's to put a few of you hoodlums up.

And we got a great 1/4 mile track here in H-Town

 

S/C status..
Told that the disassembly has begun. Water pump pulley, belt, radiator cover, and some stuff from the front part of the engine has been removed.
I've been tasked today to pick up a bottle of OEM power steering fluid and a bolt (front engine cover to head) that calls out to have the stud section on the head trimmed, but going with the clean look instead.

That's all the news I have for now.



It'd be ultra cool if the stripes on the glass were frosted instead of paint.

Not feeling the silver gun barrel bezels in the lower grille, I'd paint them black.

Otherwise, looks killer!

 

Hope all goes well! Hope to see you there...

No... never go to any games...

Is mine considered a "blower"? I guess so... it's just that "blower" always sounds like someone is referring to a super charger.

Would be great races, none-the-less.

 

Top end power is amazing. Wish I could capture the way it feels on video.

Are you still at 450/450 with the Saleen?

 

Yep....

 

Ahh... Piece of cake then with 475/505...

 

I was wondering when you Texas slow-pokes would catch on.


Frosted stripes on the glassback roof


tom281 So now that you've gone TS... do the 275s still feel adequate ? or are you planning on going to a bigger tire.
I know I'm being mr indecisive on the tires, but I really want to be positive before I start buying, ya know ?

 

So Tom1, are you going to actually go full throttle (not just a blip, but sustained) on your new found power? Or going to p*ssy foot it in fear of throwing a rod?

 

If for any reason at all this even smells like it could happen, there had better be video, by any means necessary.

 

Check this out.

Uh, sure....

Don't know, haven't put my nice wheel/tire combo on for spring yet. Currently running stock 235 pirellis or whatever they are..... traction is impossible at +1/2 throttle- will break loose in 3rd at 80mph if I want. I plan to put the 275s on in a few weeks- it should be noticeably better but not night & day different.

hahaha, that's why I'm not afraid to ****-off about racing him......

 

Well we here in Texas are slow and steady Brian but very gracious hosts and with plenty of Beer and Pizza as this seems to be a big requirement for you SoCal guys ha, Slow and Steady wins the race

Unless your running Mustangs....................... In that case...........................Fast and powerful is very good to have. FI = fast duh understatement of the year I guess

Oh and I appear to have joined the quad club

 

I didn't get mine yet, and I mailed it off on the 28th or 29th.

I sent them an e-mail this morning. What's with me and mailing out lost checks?

 

I think this is a requirement throughout the Country!

 

Those guys are quick in responding!

If you don't get it by Tuesday, let us know -- they aren't sent in order of receipt and sometimes this happens.
