Could you provide just ONE piece of advertising literature that shows the '67 Shelbys were available with any other induction than dual quads ?? The Shelby Club Registrar in charge of 1967 Shelbys says they were NEVER MADE !! So can you prove him wrong ??? I mean surely you can dig up some advertisinf literature or a magazine road test or.........BACK UP YOUR STATEMENT !!!

Woody--You very well might have seen six of them (98 Firebird LT1's) at the Proving Grounds but I never saw even one at a Pontiac dealer with a window sticker on it that said it came with anything but an LS1 engine ....................

Jack,
That picture you have of your new GTO is exceptional. There is that glow off of a cloud or burnout in the background and the other lighting on the right side panel that give it a look like it was a studio shot with auxillary lighting. Then the silver car color has a perfect contrast against the track. Evan's more on this than I, what do you think Evan? I think if it blows up good you should enter it in the state fair or some other venue with a photo contest.
So what is it going to stay that color or do you have a new scheme in mind?

Robert...this is why I sold my stocker in favor of another dragster. It is very unlikely anyone will say to me "Rich, your car is bogus, cause they never built a 2004 RaceTech with a 522 and a Terminator" OR....Your HP factor is way to low ....OR....your valve job is illegal, er ahhh wait a minute maybe it's ok we have to just wait on that a few weeks.......RIGHT......

Jeff--I absolutely hate silver--that being said very shortly Ryan Korek (of Korek Designs) is going to put some multi color Candies on Chieftain x...............Very nice shots taken at Atco Raceway by the extremely talented photog-Dave Milcarek--he does nice work..................How about that glow !!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Evan---How about that State Fair deal ???????

PS--OK-OK- -Maybe not all silver-I do like it on my Mercedes !

I was also wondering about classes as I see it the only year you can run an ss camaro is 99?? I wonder why that is?

They made them 98 to 02??

I'll be running C/S this year this year and can't wait!!
