Wow on that underhood shot! If there is an Academy Award for best depiction of a belt tensioner in an action film you are gonna be up on stage making a speech.

I notice the Canadians in SS are all in the top third of the field. Go Canada.

Holy smokes... that shows how violent it is for an engine to be on a two-step, especially a blown engine. That can't help the reliability of that setup.

I wonder if that had anything to do with all the head gasket issues that were reported on the four bolt heads?

Here is Mike Ficacci driving Anthony Bongiovanni's 2012 Cobra Jet. This is the same car I drove last year in G/SA. It now has a blower motor in it. The car is a blast to drive, on this pass he went a 9.05 at 149 in SS/CA. At etown it will be back in stock. Dang, I should have waited another year to get the Shelby done.

Amazing what goes on under the hood.

That is by far the coolest post that I've seen in a while!
