DanEC, interesting analogy, I too had the same thoughts, but remember the guy in Vegas is a Venture Capitalist and the ones I know hire attorneys to do their bidding, are smooth, well articulated, do incredible deals and generally have a knack of seeing the business potential in start-ups. That said, it seems blitzforce got Tommy all figured gave him the sucker bet and the rest as they say, will be history.
blitzforce, are you pulling your tranny and installing an automatic, it would give you one more notch on the edge factor? Also, not sure if you are reading the comments on the Ferrari Chat thread but one poster "430man" made the following observation in response to Toms post:
But if this -as you say- all about bragging rights, it's a testament to Carrol Shelby's creation that almost a half century later, you're wondering if you can beat him a quarter million dollar car.
In that regard, you're already the loser.
concluding Tommy is taking these comments seriously there may be a case building for a buy out as you guys get closer to the race date, thus you win. But then again you already factored this correct?
Cheers, tin-man
