FORDSALES is da man!
A big thank you to Jim Shaw for being the gracious dude that he is. It was great to meet you Jim!!!
I will admit this publicly only once…but A BLACK LIGHTNING IS A BEAUTIFUL THING. Looking in my rear view mirror and seeing that puppy head on... it was absolutely gorgeous!
And sitting still, Black certainly LOOKS the fastest.
However… it is generally accepted among the engineering community that SILVER actually is the fastest colour.
(See Hoffendorf’s Theory of Physical Characteristics of Silver Paint in Light Reflectivity and Drag Coefficient Variables. 1987)
Jim has tons-o-mods and his L is Tres Cool.
Once again, nice to meet ya Jim. Keep that baby clean.
PS forgot to ask. Do you, or anyone out there, use the California Duster? Does it work? Does it leave tiny scratches?

I agree, Jim is one cool dude, but he has way too much time on his hands.

It was fun. I'm looking into the exhaust system that you put on. It sounds very good.
How can I possible argue that black is faster with such proof as stated by Hoffenbdorf.
It is ALWAYS fun to meet board members. Especially if they look as grubby as me.
I have tons of mod stuff because as alphadoggy stated, I got nothing else to do but do mods. Without modding, I would get board.
I also have the Calif. duster. I like it. Doesn't scratch, picks up dust, keeps the L looking clean. I dust every day.
Chris, once again, it was fun.

I use the California Duster on my Black Mustang almost daily, the key thing is to keep the vehicle waxed. With the duster I can dust everyday for 3 days and then wash (lather rinse repeat.) But then again I am in New Mexico the dust bowl of the world. I can't decide between Black or Silver when I get my L this spring, anything but white. Too bad they don't come in Mineral Grey, the color that the 01 Cobras will have.
Later,
