So I had a gift card that was going to expire soon so I took my Shelby in to have an alignment done. Just put in a BMR k member and wanted to have it checked.
I have allied insurance and since the Shelby sits 99% of the time in the winter I signed up for their smartride program where you plug in the monitor they record speed among a few other items in return you can get up to a 40% discount on your premium.
Decided to check it today to see what my estimated discount is from last week, the discount seems to lag a week behind. I notice a huge red warning saying that I have mulltiple fast acceleration events from yesterday. So I scroll down to look at each trip.
Dropped the car off around 3:45 for the alignment and cash out around 4:30ish grab the alignment specs, everything was in spec from the start except for a little toe out.
This was the techs test drive.
Each triangle is where you have to lay into it to get it to register. I have put a couple hundred miles on it only triggering it once, he put 4 miles on it triggering it 11 times and once slamming on the brakes.
First off why did they tech even test drive it, I told them its not driving funny but wanted to confirm it was within spec and really? doing 85 in rush hour traffic and getting on it multiple times blows my mind.
Car is around 700 whp on drag radials.
Service manager basically said opps, then tried to tell me the tech has a couple "racecars" a GTI and a GLI. Ummm arent those like 200 to the wheels if that?
