[Shotimes] Deceleration questions

[Marc Randolph]

C'mon now Jim, the car was owned by someone in Bama. Do they know anything
about SHO mods? ;-)

It's stock dude! The last owner ran an Atlanta seafood supply house and her
husband drove it back and forth from Peachtree airport. He's a pilot.

I don't like PO. Too close to POS. Hope you're enjoying the car. I do miss
her. Much faster than the 97.
