+1, and to the original poster you should have no problems with a stock one.

That's what they said about machs.

My only point is when it comes to cars...you never know when and if they will. Not only that, who knows how long it will take. Tradition says 15+ yrs., but none of us know.

Well, we were going to run after work last night but it decided to downpour. It hasn't stopped since then so I guess it'll happen when the rain lets off. Damn rain.

****! im really interested in the outcome of this race as well, and yes the beginner driver might be his biggest downfall.

Supercharged cars arent the easiest to launch, especially supercharged V8's!

Gt500's are FAGTACULAR. Pull two plug wirs to help even out the odds.

yea from a dig just make sure you hook, he does still have the new driver mod like mentioned above. what kind of power do you make? from a roll it could be a little different story. I was suppose to race a guy that had one stock but it never went down. I say you throw the bottle on and if you loose say you missed a shift and squeeze him. =] I personally think I would go for a regular shelby gt (I think they look better) and spend the extra money on a nice forged motor and blower. cool cars though, good luck and make sure he carries the guy recording the video to help you out a little more!
