Smoking 2010 Shelbys vs. Smoking Planes - Video

[99SaleenSpeedster]

You may remember the two Shelby's I posted photos of a few weeks back. Everyone asked how we were going to mod them, but it wasn't your typical build. We installed upgraded suspension and braking components and aviation smoke machines. The cars were built for the Oshkosh, Wisconsin EAA AirVenture Air Show and driven by professional Formula Drift Drivers Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Doug Van Den Brink and raced Red Bull Air Race pilot Kirby Chambliss and Mike Goulian.

The Ford Press Release can be viewed here

I met Carroll Shelby at the show and rode in the cars during practice, so it was an awesome event!

Here are a few photos of the cars at the shop...

..... and in action!

I will repost an edited video at a later date. I had a video with the smoke demonstration, but had to remove it temporarily.
