Clarkson talks about German engineers not doing U-turns. That is why the 911's engine remains in the wrong place. But he goes on to say that they've spent 40 years designing around the problem and that they now have a car that corners well. Ford's solid rear axle has been in place about as long right? So by now they have fixed the... Wait... Where was I going with this?

Supercharger's are band aids for Ford having given up on displacement 10 years ago when they went to the Mod motor. Ford will sell them all way over list which keeps them in business, but regular guys will never buy or drive it. I.R.S. and a 5.0 would have been a better solution.

Red seems odd--I always think blue/white for Shelby.

Hey, there was a LeMons race in Flat Rock. Some of the cars had cheap-o rubber front air dams from Home Depot. Come to think of it, some of those cars were left at the track after the race.

They've gotta keep up with the 911 in the consumer confusion arena.

When he gets in the car, does he automatically move the seat all the way forward and then drive with the left blinker on?
