I dont think the movie is meant to document the technical aspects of the cars or races. Maybe we can skip that thread and enjoy it for what it is? As long as they have the winner correct, Im fine with it
That's my thinking too.

I can't wait for this movie to come out.  There's been so many super hero/Star wars/Star trek movies over the last decade.  I like them all but a great car story on one of my favorite topics with a big budget, a great story and little to no CGI will be something that I'm really looking forward to.

Without stripes would be better.

Nice pictures Chris.  Mid Ohio was my first show and I loved it.   I rented a 2016 GT-H out of Chicago and drove there with my bud Steve and a group of 5 other Shelby's to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 66 350H.

Great times!

Once they made the GTH, when H stood for Heritage I had my fill.  They milked that cow and then when the cow didn't have anything left, they found a new orifice to try.  The Hertz/Shelby connection was a real story back in '66 and again in 06.  Both those periods were filled with innovative new Shelby Mustang stories.  Both those periods bankrolled Shelby so that the Shelby Mustangs we know and love could even exist.  Perhaps this time it's the other way around.  An up and coming, relatively unknown rental car company will be looking to gain some exposure by using Shelby's name. 
Well said Troy.  I agree with what you say and I too, have had my fill of new Shelby and especially the GT-H.  The prices on these new 2016 and 2019 GT-H cars are ridiculous and there are so many "limited" models out there that it is laughable. 

The economy is great right now but the next downturn will train wreck all of the "exclusive" cars that are offered up by Shelby and other manufactures.

Is this book a good read?  I've had it sitting on my shelf for years but never picked it up.

Up For Auction / Re: '65 GT350 on BaT
March 27, 2019, 09:48:24 AM
How come the last two Shelby's on BAT have some sort of issue with Title (this car) or the vin (last 66 that was on BAT a few weeks ago).  It would seem that these little tidbits of provenance should be sorted out with explanations or documentation before they even hit BAT.

Is BAT becoming the place to try and wash clean a questionable history on a car?

This 65 is an awesome car, I wouldn't change a thing on it but when people start clamoring for a title or suggesting one could surface at some inopportune time, it would make me hesitate before bidding on a car.
