Shelby N.Y. Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well the day finally came, Monday morning after working a 12 hour shift I left work and drove to Tasca to drop of the SGT for the all mighty Whipple mod I don't remember much of the drive up I was in zombie mode (or is that Zzz-zombie mode) anyway I got there in about 3 hours flat. Unfortunately Dennis wasn't in when I got there but the guys in the shop where very cool, I was to tired to wait for Dennis so I left my SGT there and headed home. I managed to snap a few pics while I was there, they are not great (i could barely keep my eyes focused let alone the camera) well here are the pics. Someone mentioned they had dropped off there red gt500 for the SS conversion, that was the only red one there so I assume thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the Cobra Jet awesome? Carl Tasca himself showed me that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig-it, I spoke with Dennis before I went up and had asked him if I could pick it up the following Tuesday the 24th, and he said it would be ready to go! ilmor, my wife followed me up there and she drove home, by time my head hit the pillow I was up about 26hrs straight, (not recommended) The Cobra jet is much sweeter in person, I hoping to get some better pics when I go back. and that is the first time I was able to get up close to the ford gt, I never realized how low the roof line is on that car. It was a good short trip, I wish I could have talked to Dennis but I was just to damn tired to wait, but I am sure I will see him when I pick her up... man this is going to be a long week!!

Shelby N.Y.

Tom Holy S !!! I wanted around 450 to the wheels, so I hope I get similar results, I only went with the bigger pulley to be a bit safer, I was also told it would be around 400hp at the wheels. I hope whatever Tasca magic Dennis did to your car he did to mine, lol Now I am even more psyched to get her back. Thanks for the info bro, did you happen to get any pics while you were there?

Thanks very much for going through the trouble of taking the red SS pics but I don't think that one is mine as Dennis told me a few days ago it was in the body shop this week getting hood painted and the rest of the other bodywork done. I can relate to your millenium falcon comment I am feeling the same way!!! Best of luck with your car and hope it comes back with the 450 your looking for.
