proper Hertz/Shelby flogging 101
A quick preview of my brother's Hertz rental car experience in California.
Enjoy!
More to come later.
Oh, and according to him, the advertised top speed is wrong. Guess how he found out?

They have a Shelby GT. I'm not sure if it has anything more than a regular GT or not.

Hertz only has them in automatics from what I've read, so unless they make the Shelby in an automatic, they're probably just GT's with an appearance package.

This is a link on the Shelby GT. The car that they sell comes in manual or auto but the Hertz rent-a-car is only in auto. Looks like they do a few things to it.

as promised. I think it is a GT350H for the record. The sound of him talking is kinda soft, so turn up the volume.

Very cool! Nice to see it beaten in a controlled environment with no one else around; too many knuckleheads do that stuff on the street. The desert is much safer!
