Sounds like a Chevy Volt.
According to the driver the "spooling" at launch is awesomely eerie(the Cobra Jet E actually uses a conventional transmission with straight cut gears I believe)....on another note the one off "Mustang Mach E prototype has a built in sound production that plays out through speakers in the rear valence and you can choose a sound even from internal combustion engines like a V10 Italian supercar or even Murica V8 cammed lope chop...or a pack of wild horses

Car thread. Good place for my posts. I hung out with the Outlaws again Friday night. 800+ hp and 1400lbs including the driver. My favorite type of car in the world. I enjoyed it more because it was just added to the schedule two weeks ago because of bad weather up north. The feature race was mad fast, the winner started P10.

Here's a closer look-skip ahead to about 2:20 and you begin to get a look at the mechanical stuff

I remember the Countach from Cannonball Run. Ron Rice of Hawaiian Tropic owned it way before they made the movie.

Shelby is a legend.
51214004-3.jpg

Shelby drives a 4.9 liter Ferrari next to Marvin Panch's Battlebird at the 1957 New Smyrna Beach Airport Races in Florida.


We had 'the big one' on pit road yesterday. Severe storm was coming, so the race was red flagged. Winds arrived and it was canopy carnage time. Crews cleaned up with a sawzall and loaded 7 or 8 pickup loads of wrecked shelter frames. The bizarre part is that it never rained, just wet all around us.

Show cars, exotics, hot rods and race cars are all fine and dandy but there is one thing the good old daily is better suited for..

Not a huge Ford fan but this thing hooks up as good as any I've ever seen. Runs consistent 9s @ 140+ in this. Note the 289 badges.
