You would think it would be a Honda. Whatever it is, that has to be cool. Congrats to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynn jones Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 try not to grind the gears this year! :0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 I don't grind gears, I just try to round off the corners a bit to make it shift smoother Besides, it'll probably have one of those flappy paddle gearboxes, I hate those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Capizzo Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I grew up in Dearborn, Michigan, home of Ford Motor Co. Back in the early to mid-1960's there was a guy who lived down the street who was some sort of engineer for Ford who brought home a Shelby Cobra that had been the Indy pace car (at least thats the way I remember it now, 40++ years later). You can imagine all us 10 year olds falling and drooling all over that car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm iprod Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Well done. Please do not follow the example of a recent World Touring Car Champ in Pau France. He screamed out of the pits, right into the line of the lead car. http://jalopnik.com/5259601/wtcc-chevy-cru...-out-bmw-in-pau 1min40s it is priceless. GM finally gets one over the Euro's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
