I held out as long as I could, but couldn't get to race down in Ill this fall. Had everything all set. Made all the "adjustments", tuning, testing, tires, trailer all set and even the Zuma freshened up. Was ready to go, but permanent storage is calling me.

What happened to the slobra race?, did your nephew get out the ford excuse handbook to make up a good reason not to race you.

Yer nephew sounds like a typical dumass ferd owner if hes trying to make a drag car out of a shelby. the one's i see trying ta launch look constipated. Ive seen yer ss bitchslap many a ferd with more power. no offense but he must not be very smart to wanna race your ss. or maybe he knew you were comin after him and he didnt want any.the victim had semen on his trousers

Not sure Joel. I saw the video and it didn't look like a violent launch at all. Actually looked like a tentative launch. Must have been wounded from before. Probably that and once one part broke, it jammed another part which locked up another drivetrain part and snapped it. I've seen violent launches. My brother used to dump the clutch at 6k on 30" tall slicks on a 12 bolt and stock axles, so the GT500 launch was mild in my opinion.

Well, there is that little problem. But still - BOTH axles AND the shaft?? That's really bad luck, even if you are driving an F-bomb.

I don't need the scoop. My plans wont change. I've run into similar types of cars and their owners. Totally different concept of getting those cars down the track vs. mine. Racing can be frustrating and expensive enough without picking one of those as a race car. Actually had hoped he'd put more power into the car.
