Hey mark, i was just watching your video in the exhaust thread (thats a sweet ride) and i have a question. is you back glass open at the top, or is that just some weird reflection?

Short clip at HPT

The Shelby "R" models had a plexiglass rear window to remove the air from the cabin.

A special Plexiglas rear window was formed which fitted the rear light opening with a two in. gap at the top to
exhaust air from the interior and smooth air flow over the rear body – said to increase the R-models’ top speed by five miles an hour.

Ding, ding, ding....we have a winna!

It cuts down on some weight and helps move air through the car. It's fun when people do a triple take to try and figure it out.

It also allows for easy washing of the interior.............

Which is the biggest reason I didn't install one on my car. Cool feature, but not very practical on a street car.

Definitely wouldn't want to get caught in the rain!

I assume that your car is trailered to and from track events?

The video shows him backing it out of the trailer, but we all know its a garage queen...

Yes and..........................yes.

It was never meant to be a daily driver or a rainy day ride. It was meant to spend most of it's time at the track and a little street time. Since I moved back to Kansas and live on 8 miles of gravel, the street time has dropped waaaaaaay off and the track time has gone way up!

and it's garage KING damnit, too much testosterone for it to be a queen :bird
