Shelby Series One

[Jamo]

I don't know about lacking power enough to have a damn good time in one. Gary Patterson took me for a couple of hair raising laps around the neighborhood in Vagas in a supercharged model. I do not remeber the thing going straigh for more than 10-15 yards at a time. Then again, Gary could make a freeking Yugo feel like that without much trouble.

Back in the days before I got the Kirkham, we were talking to a dealer from Florida who showed up with some demos at the Historics. Seemed like a damn nice car back then...especially compared to the first generation Vipers with truck motors and cub scout pup tents for convertible roofs.

Thanks, pretty much what I have been reading thru the book "Snake Bit" & review forums. If it is like my wifes Viper then I will not need it but going with a open mind & a trailer just in case. Never seen one in person to know Anything First hand. It looks kinda sexy to me but most everything I own is just a little different, painter said before painting my Lonestar, " People may not like it but They will have to come look at it" same for the Series I would imagine. I just kinda like the idea behind the car & if it trips my trigger I'll bring it home & San Marcos too if it works out.

The problem was with the first batch of cars out, naturally aspirated Olds Aurora engines.....they didn't live up to their promises/expectations, that's why CS put superchargers on them....Later cars could be had with or without the superchargers....
