I can't believe you, of all people, said that....

Ken got a well-fought win, while driving an exemplary race, and surely was a VERY DESERVING winner, using what he had, braving the possibility of blown Mustangs and D-P Challengers that he knows can eat his lunch, anytime, anywhere... but, he fought the good fight and persevered, in spite of all odds. You gotta admire his spirit and driving ability, for sure! Nice to see a guy who believes in himself and his car, in the winner's circle!!!

But to say that this race was won by an "old muscle car" is to ignore its "paper car" status and the fact that nothing even remotely like this single 4bbl 428 was around in the original 1967 GT 500's, is to believe in fairytales.

It's a class legal AA/SA car in every respect; an "old muscle car" it is not...

My 2-cents....
