Hears what its like to drive a Shelby...

Listen to the combo of the supercharger whine and the exhaust note. Who needs the shaker 1000!? Sorry for the misspelling.....

...and the manracer too...

Did you notice at the end when HTT pulled into the pits the ManRacer mustang had just pulled in in front of him -- nice rear wing!

Is it me or was HHT kind of light on gear coming out of some of the turns? Seemed like he had her in 3rd instead of 2nd on some of them.

Great Video! Based on the time shown for the lap, just shy of 3 minutes is pretty good for Road America with two people and no helmets. I have seen a few stangs take out the concrete wall coming out of the carousel, so the Shelby seems to have suspension tricks to handle the little dip at high speeds. As for gears, in those tight turns going down one may have been dangerous, but I agree it seemed a bit uneventful as he used the torque to pull him through. I am sure if the car was set up for RA they would simply change the rear end since they most likely won't go over 150 there.

Nice vid - thanks for sharing that!! Did I hear him say that they had caught up with the 500hp Ford Fivehundred? I hadn't heard about this car before - just a test mule or is there another SE model coming out around the Ford 500 sedan?

Maybe he was saying FR500? ...the purpose built Grand-Am manracer-like stang you can buy complete from FRP for $125K (dunno).

Yeah, you're right "...500HP Ford 500..." Dunno. Unless he accidentally dropped the "GT" out. Funy thing is that there appears to be nothing in front of them when he says it... hmmm.

Maybe not the one HTT's talking about, but one does exist...
