Track Day Killer
Built to win a little bet I made, going up against a couple of GT3's owned by a couple of investment bankers out here on the west coast, a casual conversation led to this, these two boys laughed at me when I said I thought I could build a Mustang that could spank a GT3, a lot of effort went into this project, I took their Holy'er than God attitude personally, I also forgot to mention that I have about 34yrs. of racing experience in the SCCA in Formula Ford and F2000, this wont be easy, but if we did our homework right these boys are in for a surprise, second Sunday in Nov. Thunder Hill, hope I can make my Mustang Brothers proud. I'll post more info on the car if you want, there's a lot of Cortex goodies under this thing, it's fast and fun to drive.

I just happened to be at Thunder Hill as we were testing a car the day before, I like cars and was taking a look at their cars, a GT 3 is an impressive piece, and at 145,000 it ought to be, these two looked at me like I was some kind if hick or something, to be honest I didn't like them right off the bat. I've done a million laps around this place but never in a tin top, it's fun not to be confined by a rule book for a change, so we set out to build kind of the ultimate track car, and it kind of got out of hand. Can they drive? I guess so, but can they drive ten tenths, maybe yes maybe no, but my guess is that they won't be willing to take too many risks with cars that cost that much. I've decided that I want their money, so IT"S ON.

I love it when someone runs their mouth and does not have a clue who they are talking to. Especially when they are talking down to the "little people". Taking their money is one thing. I hope you take it. Walking off knowing that they have been beat by "little people" will be priceless. Please understand that I am not talking down to you as a "little person". Hell, I am just a pipe welder. I just do not like that kind of mentality. Lots of luck my friend!! Keep us posted.
Edit; Any idiot with enough cash can buy a car and play with it. I do not know what a GT 3 is or really care. It takes a person with knowledge and skill to build something their self. That is what seperates the men from the playboys IMHO.
