She may be a bit jealous, but she is thrilled to still be around. What’s interesting is that I believe three other 6Speeders acquired a Scud following their Vantage. I love this Vantage so much after 11 years of ownership and a massive ammount of modification turning it into the car I wish AM crearted (down over 230lbs and a NA 390 at the wheels), that I could not sell it.

Two very different cars with two very different driving styles, both world class in my opinion.

Sweet! So much more desirable to me than the latest crop of turbocharged Ferraris. Enjoy in good health.

I see in your profile pic you have a Cobra as well? Or did the Ferrari replace the Cobra? I have a Superformance Cobra. Same color and stripe as yours. Its still my favorite car in my stable to drive but just for short trips. They are a blast. My Aston still gets to go on top.. LOL.

No that would not get you to 390. I did a write up sometime ago around all of the modifications and weight savings. Even things like two piece brake rotors and lightweight flywheels added horsepower...Outside of forced induction I don’t think there’s anything that hasn’t been done

lots of tools hidden away. Most are here but some of the larger tools are hidden away in gladiator cabinets.

I had a Backdraft racing 427 that I sold prior to acquiring the Scud. That car drove as well as it looked, but with three little girls at home and a wife that dosent work, it was way to dangerous. I would take is for one of the pick up truck drivers here in Texas T-bone me at 25 miles an hour and I might not be walking......no crash structure at all. Nice set up!
