Also, Real One had one of the greatest engines ever to be installed in any vehicle in his Shelby Cobra. Mike has a 302/4bbl, one of the most reliable, yet, pedestrian, engines of all time. OOH, but it's got a "Lemaze" cam for the "sound" of the 1960's paddock. Oh boy!
Please tell about SAI "making" the cars? And "somebody" named "SAFIR" is the company that holds the rights to the GT40. And that "new-ish" company has been around for 25 years. You do know the current SAI is only a few years old and only became SAI after Venture went bust and the name became available again?

I predict at least three-four more pages of this mental masturbation before all of the participants get tired and go home...................
