    She has a couple of black spots on her tongue. I thought she got them gnawing on something under one of the cars but the vet says it means she is part Chow.

  3. She looks at least part German Shepherd. German Shepherds are great dogs, good luck with her.

  4. Anyone who loves dogs, and even rescues them, can't be all bad. Does look german shepard in the photos, very cute dog.

    Did I miss what year the Shelby is?

  6. Ever thought of using a computer chip? Or has that already been done at the factory. Considering one in my wifes car, Magnum Hemi, nice family car, 340hp, they say it can go to about 420 with a simple computer reprogram.

    Uhm, it already had 540 hp. Too much for a convertible.

    The new one has 444 hp and is more manageable.

  8. I understand, and haven't researched it. I didn't know if the HP came from engine design alone, injection, all the rest or if it was already super tuned with after market chips. I know, 'after market' suggests it didn't come with them, but if it already was maxed out with them, even better, no extra costs.

    Have you run it on a quarter mile? I enjoy the 'run what you brung' nights locally, gives everyone a chance to enjoy their cars.

    The '09 Shelby was blown, a belt-drive unit. It was under warranty so no chipping or anything.

    The Boss 302 is just fuel injected, aluminum heads with double overhead cams and a high rpm valve train. It redlines at 7500 rpm.

    I don't race anymore, not cars anyway. I just like a strong car for getting groceries etc. :)

    Here is a little video of the Boss at Le Mans that I like:

  10. Cool, and yes, I'll bite. What did you race? And, what do you race now if not cars? I'm always looking for fun hobbies, I run out of things to do, and am always curious as to what others find enjoyable. I'm not a hunt fish kind of guy, used to ride and race motorcycles (off road, desert and some motocross), but getting too old for that.

    Nice 'grocery getters' I have to say.
