LOL! Oh Sean, ever the subtle bully. My views are hardly unique, and your capricious attitude is already well known; It's difficult to tell at this point whether or not you're simply daydreaming on the back of a napkin.... regardless- the realities of business will become apparent to you. I...

Clearly, the solution is to design the next great GT-40 in McDonalds instead of Jack; As guys such as this fellow will tend to be more representative of your clientele (I believe ERA designs their stuff in Applebee's, so they don't sweat you), it should be interesting to watch your customer...

The numbers on the long-rod engine were very impressive; 11:1 compression on 93 octane with no detonation, over 450 ft/lbs torque, with a very flat torque curve, and 400 hp; I suppose a tall-deck 302 block with the 3.0 stroke would work well with longer rods- I'm sure that some of the 5.0...

Hee hee- Mark, I'm not sure there has been a slicker marketing man in history than Carroll Shelby- and pardon my mispelling of "Chili"; From the drag racing efforts ("Shelby Super Snake") to the woeful Indy turbine, I doubt that there has ever been a better master of "smoke and mirrors" imagery...

.... and I don't think CS is the man for a modern corporate position in any capacity. Saleen is a very sharp engineer, and has never sacrificed quality for quantity, whereas CS has had his name plastered on everything from chile to chrysler (*&^boxes- rose-colored glasses.....

Well, judging from the return address- "kathylarimar"- it appears that his mommy isn't supervising the use of her internet access too well, for one.......

Awww- do these scams EVER end? It's a shame that a guy with a chopper gun and some molds can dupe people.... If it's $30K, tell him no problem, as long as it's COD- until he's established, he's just floating around trying to collect some money down..... and dude, if you're going to scam people...
