Kevin,

We saw it on the highway one day on the way to the track. There was an older gentleman driving it. Reeves and Bro-Ken tried to get him to run, but it looked like the guy was white-knuckling it just driving it sedately down the highway, so we didn't get to see how it compared to an Omni performance-wise.


BTW, nice avatar :eyebrows:

EDIT: Ken beat me to the reply...D@mm1t

Yeppers that is the one. I was leading the train of cars with Reeves' parents, then it was fleckster in the truck, and then the omni.

As Clay would say, "Oh Schap!" As careful as the guy was driving it and the position of the vehicles at the wreck site, I would think the Ford truck was probably at fault. What a same. I hope no one was seriously hurt!

The GT500 is a 2 tons big. It doesn't even come with a spare!

The weights on its front wheels alone is heavy than my entire GLH.

Luckily it looks like it was not too bad of a hit... it was in a residential area.
