video highlights of my track day Saturday

ROFL...I used to do track days with the guy in the Saleen replica that was the subject of the author's fixation. Turns out they're brothers, and I don't think either of them had any idea what an internet sensation that was going to be

My question is....why am I not hearing you yell "NEMESIS.....I'M COMING FOR YOUUUU AHAHAHAHAAHAAAAA!!!!" in the background?

I attended Bondurant back when they used those Vics as instructor cars. They gave me a boner. 32V DOHC Cobra engine, Cobra transmission, 3.73 or maybe even 4.10 axle, Recaro drivers seat, rollbar, giant brakes, swaybars as thick as your arm, and every last bit of it looks factory installed. That's why I say they're what the Marauder could have been, should have been, minus maybe the bar and the Recaro. A few years later, they sold off all but one or two of their 12-car fleet, and I damn near bought one, until they told me that technically, the cars didn't have VINs, and I'd have to sign a document swearing I'd never even try to title it for street usage. Well that was half the point, so I bailed. Then what to my surprise, I move here a few years ago, and there are two of them showing up at track days. One is owned by the guy that owns that track, and the other is owned by the guy who runs ProAutosports (which is the one in the video)...and guess what? They're both ing titled and licensed for the street. Jealous doesn't begin to describe it! Would have been an awesome toy for probably $12k out the door. Then I thought about building one, and to be honest, I knew I'd have to lean heavily on the Crown Vic online community for help and knowledge, but they turned me off so hard I gave up even thinking about it.
