NMRA - Bradenton - Shelby GT350 experience!!

[Timspony]

Justin & Team VMP Performance gave me the opportunity to drive their 2016 Shelby GT350 at the NMRA - Bradenton event in the True Street Class...needless to say, I jumped very FAST at the opportunity to drive this beast .... bone stock (and very limited seat time) I did manage to run a 12.16 at 118.9 mph and a few 12.2's at 119.60 mph!

I have to say, this is one nice ride!!! Thankful for the experience!!

My understanding is that this GT350 will be sporting a VMP Supercharger in the next few weeks....

Pics ~ Enjoy!!!

Nope....I'd have to sell the DSG & CO to afford that .... but maybe in a few years!
