    I'll get out of the way, while all you techies, engineers and Ricky Racers drool all over this. The chassis # is 0001 and it goes up for auction in southern Nevada in September...

    Obviously will be a powerful car. I made my choice and will live with it. I took the Shelby to San Antonio Raceway for time trials. It was Mopar Shoot out weekend so Cindy raced in eliminations where she took 2nd place. However, in heads up time trials, I beat the first place finisher, the second place finisher (Cindy), and another Challenger that did not finish very high. I only got three passes in before the Mopar eliminations started. My times were a little disappointing but it is not the car... it is me getting to know where my optimum shift points and launch RPM should be. I was having a lot of traction issues on the shift to 2nd and 3rd.

    Picture of Cindy accepting her 2nd place trophy. Extremely large so it would make you scroll on the skybox. Let me know if permissions are set to where you cannot see it.
