I was wrong in my assumptions. I was wrong in my interp. of your "Brownshirt" statement. I let the wrong part of me respond and I'm sorry that -I- was the A$$ here.
For starters, it was Dior who just educated me on Curts origins and his "Brownshirt" issues with Dior way back when...
Again, I'm sorry and I should've just read and went to bed.
I was set off by the "truth" statements and the whole who's car is better thing... Once again, you have been pretty damn good about this and I was outta line.
The only thing I don't agree with you on is the "flimsy" statement. I'm of the opinion that the 289's ARE the real Cobras and the 427 became a joke to everyone at Shelby. Did the 427 ever win a race that mattered? USRRA? Nassau? Daytona? "Turd II", as some ol' guys tell it. They use to say some funny things about the 427 customers and how long 'til this idiot was going to wrap it around a tree or telephone pole...circa '65 and up...Venice and LAX locations, as I recall... BTW, I haven't heard ANY good 427 race stories from Gurney or Miles? Have you? Yet, they seem to love the old "Flimsy" 289's...See, I'm back, arrogance, history, opions and all!
But, more to the point: I am sorry about my stupid comments of late last nite and I hope you understand that I know that I was outta line.
I'm the A$$ on this one,
Manny
