"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

You're most welcome. There are a lot of interesting automotive articles on that channel. Gives me something interesting to listen to when driving.

As for the new GT500, it is for performance. I attended a Ford media event with a Jim Owens, specifically with details on the 2020 GT500. Here is the copy of the article I wrote.

Excellent article.   As he says, "there's nothing like a proper drive in a proper car with a proper gear box".  Well said.
