I bet that was a real sight to see - Shelby and his drivers whipping around
the corners with their eyes closed! Bet it shook up the track safety
officials.
I'll bet their eyes were wide open, though, when they took the checkered flag
ahead of all the "better" cars.
Seriously, though, my TR6 will handle BETTER with the V8 in it than it did
with the 6 cylinder. One thing you all need to keep in mind is that the V8
weighs LESS - let me repeat that, LESS - than the stock engine, and it is
setting further back and lower as well. If it is a pig when I'm done, then it
was a pig before I started.
