I think I'm seeing the pattern here - refined, smooth, calculating with high-tech Ferrari on one side and brash, rough, balls-to-walls with low-tech (relatively speaking) Cobra on the other side. Should be interesting.

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

Put a face to the name...........
For those folks on the forum who would like to put a face to the name of our friend Tommy, visit Tom Goldstein on the Wikipedia site: and click on Harvard Law School profile of Thomas Goldstein
Thomas C. Goldstein (Tom Goldstein) is an American attorney famous as an advocate before and blogger about the Supreme Court of the United States. He was a founding partner of Goldstein and Howe, a Washington, D.C. firm...
This is one hellova guy, his credentials are awesome.
That said, I'm still backing the Cobra guy. 
Cheers, tin-man

Point taken, but a Kirkham with a KC big block isn't exactly pocket change.
