We did the swap once again tonight -- as this is much easier for Mark to not have to get in any later than is already playing out with this event. The car is far safer tucked away in the trailer at the track than in a hotel parking lot in Vegas where it might not survive the night!

Second night of driving - this time from the Shelby headquarters event back to LVMS... so now I'm not nearly as nervous driving someone else's baby.. and I get to enjoy the pure pleasure this car is. Smooth - powerful sound... real world pro-touring... by that I mean I would be HAPPY to drive this car to TEXAS! Tonight! Fire it up and cruise! All the sensual pleasures are there - stereo - great seats - SOLID well mannered road car. Power you can sense and feel in the throttle - but the clutch is silk as are the transmission and the brakes! Oh man this beast has great feel in the brakes.

Here's the deal -- My Mustang feels and drives like a race car.... I would not want to drive it anywhere but on a track. This car --- this is a car that you want to drive..... To me - it's the real deal of what people are trying to get when they're building a pro-touring car. This car on Hot Rod Power Tour would just be unimaginably good!








I'm old... okay!?!?! Good headlights are important! LOL

I'm not that old and I'm right there with you

Also what you are saying above about how nice it drives and you would drive on Power Tour, does that mean when Mark goes to sell this one Charley will have to out bid you of coarse we know he will but still will be fun!!

Apparently Greg really is getting comfortable driving the car. After the swap, me Mark and Laura are driving on the freeway north towards the hotel when Mark says "Hey, there goes my car!" As Greg goes bombing by us. Was kinda weird for Mark to see his car pass us unexpectedly

I bet that was a strange feeling. Sort of like letting your daughter go on her first date. "she better be in one piece when she gets back" hammer click

Yeah, the odds with Weld are better than locked up in a trailer in a parking lot at Caesar's.

I only passed you because the Viper wanted to race once we hit Las Vegas Blvd (by the way, it was just as weird seeing you in my Jeep). Does your head hit the roof?

Max PWM duty cycle is 90% positive polarity @ 100 Hz (need this for calibration). Size wiring & fuse appropriately - 64 AMPS peak.

First used this fan on Red Devil and dropped coolant and oil temps ~10F just by changing to this fan from 400W Corvette fan.

Great information. Would someone copy this over to the PWM cooling fan thread so we don't forget where it is ! Ok, so I don't forget where it is !!

We watched all the Optima cars roll out on Friday. There were some radical and loud cars. Marks car sounded docile compared to others. Very unassuming, but we know what's really going on under the hood. Can't help but be impressed with a car that does it all.

Now that's a funny story.

Greg and Tim, thanks for relaying your impressions of the car. I love it and think it's the pinnacle of pro-touring. Of course, I think each of his builds are. I doubt I'll ever see any of them in person though so I appreciate your responses.
