Ford's 100th

[WYSIWYG]

Ten years ago this weekend we were at Ford's 100th Anniversary. We were invited to display my '93 Cobra on the grounds. The photo is from the Friday day event @ Waterford Hills. MY wife was able to ride in a modified Lightning with Boris Said, a week later he got the pole @ Sonoma. This was the weekend that John Coletti autographed my Owner's Manual.

This person drove this car from California to Dearborn

He is/was an Trainer based in Ohio stayed in the same hotel as us. The flat head is fuel injected - he made it himself.

SVT Lightning prototype with "Super Cool" - Super Cool used the AC to give the Lightning 20 seconds of "super cooled" air

not just any 10 liter engine, a BOSS 10 liter that swallows the entire engine bay of that car. that whole car is amazing I remember when SVT and GM use to have toy box wars and the Camaro that was built to compete with this car use to break and Coletti use to tease Jon Moss about it.

I remember seeing the Boss at Woodward Dream cruise back in the late 90's, People would bribe the Ford guys for a ride up and down woodward. That car would litterly shake the ground.

So ford has a killer chiller prototype? For the love of god, put that on the new gt500's

Wow! I can't believe it has been ten years. I also got the invite from Ford to display my 2001 Lightning. It was a great event and also got to meet John Coletti and he actually signed my Lightning on the dash and under the hood.

Great pics. It's funny seeing the SVT HQ without the massive fence they built to keep out the auto paparazzi.

While we were at the SVT Garage we got a tour inside and they showed us how they were printing 3D parts (Yes printing 3D). At the Q & A I asked some questions that they were nervous answering and after they ask who I was/ I told them I was a FLM dealer.

They started it up and revved it a bit at FFW Cordova back in 2000 I beleive. It sounded amazing!
