John, are you suggesting a rendevous? :shades:

Thanks everyone for the welcome! Couple of things as I read through the posts.
#1- KC BigCat (John) Ill do my best to be there work schedule is terrible but I feel a fever coming on for some reason that might hit on the 28 for some reason?
#2 - Shelby fest is already locked in on the vacation time. Not gonna miss it when its so close! I actually never even heard about it till it was over!
#3 - Im trying to get pics up of her but Im 30 and for some reason computers have left me in the dust and I am retarded with them. Now guns on the other hand are like another extention of my body. Maybe thats why my hearing sucks?
Again thanks everyone and Semper Fi!

....hope to see ya there....easiest way I have found to do photos is to set up a photobucket account and link from there.......I believe you have to have a certain number of posts here to post up photos....and I kinda remember a difference in what can be done depending on whether you are a contributing member (this is a non profit with board of directors, 20 per year)....if you email me a photo or two I will post them for

Welcome to the site Shane. You have to watch some of these people here, they will corupt you in a heart beat especially that Badcat. I am the vendor manager with Shelbyfest and I hope you come to the show next year. You may want to book your room if you haven't already. They do tend to sell out quite fast. May have already done that. I don't mod my car either. Sometimes I leave it for a while in the garage and the next time i take it out, someone has done something to it like lowering it, putting on another hood, modify the super charger, put on GT/SC side scoops etc.......

Some of us would never think of modifying a collectable investment car like a Shelby.

I don't understand all the discussion about color , over here we all know it's who built the engine that counts.

So you're saying that some of the engine builders build slow engines? Care to provide a list of the slow engine builders? I bet the slow ones get put in all the red and black cars. That's why they have to do supercharger upgrades, among other things. :look:

I've been told some engines make more hp than others, all I say is some builders are extremely picky about how things are done. All of them are good but some are better, but I won't mention any names.

Yep sure is a red stripe package with the red cobras and the red lettering on "SHELBY" but I did the relocation kit for the lettering and couldnt find the red letters until after I installed it.
