GLHS610 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Took out the charger the other day, pulled up next to a nice German auto and feeling risky, I asked him if he wanted to run it. The guy looked at my car and laughed until I told him that 60k German junk will get a good run for its money. Then his buddy laughed and the driver sticks his head out and sees the car had Shelby written all over it and said "nice car" I said I wanna go after that it looks tasty, lol the guy said "no thanks" haha. Not sure if I would of smoked him but I sure wanted to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 That's good judgement. I always wave guys by that think they need a street race. I saw a bumper sticker that said "I let you pass me". I got lots more "let's do it" with the Shelby GT/SC and the Cobra than the GT. It's just not worth it.

GLHS610 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I agree I guess the teenager came outta me a little bit because that is what I was raised on in a 87 dodge shelby charger non GLH-S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NordicShelby Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Yesterday a WRX came up behind the SGT/SC and was tail gating me until he passed me then he turned off a mile down the road. I could tell he wanted to race and I knew without a doubt I could have smoked him but I had my entire family in the car and it was a busy road with lots of driveways along it. I bet it made him feel really good that he passed a Shelby. I have learned that the only way I am racing anybody is at the track on the road course. I have too much to lose in life now and things go wrong really quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I really have never raced, mainly because I don't have enough horsepower to consider it, but also the fact that it only takes one mistake to end in a lot of pain. However, I have no problem letting the engine loose once in a while. And especially once when someone I knew asked about my Lincoln. He said, "I didn't know you had that, an old big clunky 80's Lincoln." I had no second thoughts about rolling my window down, calling his name quickly, and screeching the tires as I left. It was for education purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
