It was a brand new super snake from my understanding. Claimed 700hp and the top of the line super snake is 725hp. I have my doubts after racing him on the interstate. I was reading this morning that the 725hp super snake will run high 10's with slicks. However, it is 4100 lbs. All I know is I pulled him really well the first time u p to about 130 and the second time he got a little jump and I got him by a nose. He just disappeared in my rear view mirror after that. It was really fun and I'm glad I'm not locked up in the pokey.
The chicks just weren't that hot. haha I didn't look over the car real close but it resembled this http://www.shelbyautos.com/images/SSFlyer.pdf but was flat black.

yeah I figured it was a late model version cuz those things run some very unimpressive times based on their claimed power, and yes they are behemoths of a car. Nothing like having an 800# or so weight advantage!

Nice kill. Just get a good radar like the V1.

Hey, not-hot chicks need lovin too.

I'll leave that up to you. It's been so long since I've had some strange that I probably wouldn't even get my zipper down.

Easily the quote of the day.

Here is a video of the track layout Saturday night. Super tight but fun. Those two 90 degree turns were a killer.

Found some video of my car....looks great until I get to the double 90 degree turns. The car was just a little low and I don't have much camber in it yet so it did limit my turning radius a little.

The car I raced on the way home sure does have the super snake hood. http://s694.photobucket.com/albums/v...t=MVI_4017.flv
