Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Fw: Video: Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 dyno run goes boom in spectacular fashion

[Mike Fleischer (themightytoe]

I love how they have a big fat guy sitting in the trunk to keep the tail end down :)

But yep Mustangs, not so wonderful when you tweak them :)...  Reminds me of the guy at Texas Motor Speedway, bragging on his Cobra R with "tons of mods" and "big brakes"...  3rd lap going into the infield I followed as he braked...  a ton of smoke poured out of both front wheel wells, then he missed the turn and ran through the "chicken lane" bypassing the infield...  Losing your brakes at 120 mph can't be fun, and he probably lost them while still doing 80-90...

Never bring a kids toy to a grownup's track :)  (sorry Lash).  There are several cars you just don't see at the racetrack very often.  Mustangs are high on that list, though I would hope the new GT changes that.  Lots of Mustangs at the drag strip though.

Good excuse for a new motor!
