Bandit 1: Your right. I don't know the facts personally. I'm just repeating what the ariticle said. The article clearly indicated both cars were driving at a hight rate of speed. Cobra + Trans Am + high hp + high speed = high probability that the article was accurate. Do you think that if Glassnake was driving a Toyota Echo things might have been different?

Are you saying that better tires, better suspension in modern cars makes you equal in ability to Shelby's team drivers and better able to handle 500hp, 600hp or more? Give me a break.

PatBuckley: I didn't get lost. I took the scenic route!

Brette Bolte: You are right sir. I have no interest in driving fast. I just enjoy driving my car. The sound, the feel, the open air, the powerful accelaration, the view of the front hood with the scoop (with correct rivets), the feel of the wood steering wheel, the look of the guages, the admiring looks from others, the people in the mini van next to you on the highway videoing your car as you drive while they are giving you a thumbs up. Its the whole experience.

Yeah. I've been called a "weenie" and a "f'n waxer" on this site because I don't "pretend race" on a track somewhere or because I don't do burnouts. Thats fine. They can call me a weenie from safely behind their computers. I've invited them to call me a "weenie" to my face. Funny, thing, no ones showed up yet.
