I guess you need a chicken-sheet lawsuit filed against you.....I will instruct my attorney son to proceed with a tort about "mis-use of CC bandwidth" and ask for ......ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!! Oh, crap, you tip that much each year. Why can't I get a Freekin' shark with laser beams on it's head?

That's why they had the hood scoop, oil cooler, roll bar, and more flare to the fenders, as well as the SW 240 fuel pumps in the trunk, a larger gas tank, and many other features that the street 427's didn't have. Only 36 real S/C's were made, if memory serves me correctly. |
I believe Jim is correct. They were race cars that SAI tweaked just enough to market as a street legal car. I also have heard both "Street/Competition" and "Semi Competition", but personally I think the former made more sense.

Those weren't turbochargers, they were Paxton centrifugal superchargers. |
