andrewnagle1964 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Let me preface this by saying I can't tell a story nearly as well as Chip Beck I work for our family business and we have a very large parking lot which we use on the weekends to have some fun with the Shelby and my brother-in-law's EVO. We had some visitors from the UK this week and on Saturday afternoon I let them see what the SGT experience was all about first hand, they loved it and are now trying to figure out how to get a SGT to England. At the end of the hot rodding around the parking lot, I wanted to show them how to burn some rubber. I engage the line-lock rev it up to 3500 rpms and drop the clutch and .........nothing....... hmmmm okay my brain goes through the sequence again press button, push brake, light comes on, release brake, rev it, pop it......ughhhhhh. So it is, sorry guys don't know what went wrong. But they loved the Shelby, anyway. I awoke with an epiphany this morning, TCS !!!! I left the TCS on, oops..... We meet at the factory this morning before I had to take them to the airport and WHAMO lights camera action full blown smokin tires ! Then I can hear it in the distance as it gets closer and louder..............the local law enforcement come flying into the parking lot, sirens and lights a blazing ! (Stock photo for demonstration purposes only) yeah yeah yeah yadda yadda yadda, we own it, private property, no one at work, etc..... and he says a neighbor called it and is worried about her son leaving the house and some maniac on the streets......let them have a peak under the hood, walk around, start her up...very nice , sweet, awesome, etc...... and as he is leaving he hands me his business card and says the real thing that bothered him about the whole thing is that I did not call him first to let him enjoy the show !

SHELBYBRO Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Don't you just love it. I have been pulled over several times now in the SGT and never once recieved a ticket. Even the cops love this car. I was pulled over 2 times for tinted windows and no front plate and once for exhibition of speed...also known as a burnout. Even my wife is in shock that I ahven't recieved a ticket yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
