"Monster" doesn't BEGIN to describe it!!!

I wonder what the 'freight' will be on this if/when Shelby offers it?

I thought I read around 100K+cost of car but I would need to do some searching. It is pretty cool and I love the valve covers.

I love the 2 complete fuel systems from tank to motor. One holds pump and the other system holds race gas. It uses pump until it senses it needs to mix race with it and does it automatically. Freakin' genius.

:agree: ...but, 'better not forget which tank is which when refueling! :lol

The vid didn't cover it, but, I presume there are TWO fuel gauges as well? ...or at least a switch enabling one to go back & forth bewteen tanks using a single gauge?

No matter if a guy has to use a DIPSTICK - this setup is just killer! :banana:banana:banana

It was in the entrance in between North Hall & Center Hall. Gary P. was with it most of the time.

Damit, I thought I did really well. Heck even found an area I had no idea existed, outside, on the very last few hours friday. Killer car, would have loved to have seen it.

You did just fine. We walked by that car about four times - at least. Stealth black car in a sea of sensory overload. Hard to pick it up. :biggrin

The list of mods given (when one clicks on "expand") on Seeker's link doesn't say a word about tranny or clutch mods...nor about a scatter shield bell housing. 'Not a big deal in a FGT when all that stuff is located BEHIND the driver (as well as behind the engine!), but, in "Code Red", all that stuff is right beside the driver's feet/legs. While the tranny may not be too big a worry, the other items could be. Is the stock tranny/clutch/'housing so stout no mods in those areas were thought to be needed? 'Anybody know?

Nelson has been building motors for some of the hottest rods for a while now, the octane on demand has been around for some time. this would make for a sick ford gt set up!!!! I only wish I had the extra 100K
