Hi, I'm Tom Scarpello of Revology Cars, and this is car 58 - a 1966 Shelby GT350 in Wimbledon White with Guardsman Blue LeMans stripes. So, this might look like your standard-issue Revology Shelby white with blue stripes ‘66 GT350, but you'd be mistaken. There are some really special things about this car I’m gonna take you through. First of all, it has our R-Spec suspension. This is our upgraded suspension. It has our heavy-duty driveline, and this car is destined for Europe, so it has our export lighting package.
Okay, so the first thing you notice is when you start the car is the exhaust note. It's not overly loud, but it is authoritative. It really tells you there's something special going on under the hood. The next thing you notice as you set off is steering. It's hydraulically assisted. See, you get a great feel. It's not overly light, but it's not heavy. It's just kind of perfectly weighted. So, the next thing you notice is the acceleration. I guess the way I would describe the feel, is the car has a sense of urgency. It just feels like it's just ready to go at any moment.
I mean, you quickly run out of the road, and I mean you really got to find some open road. You come out of a corner. It's like being shot out of a cannon. Then, you notice just how well the car handles the curves. This just really has a lot of grip. It's just very progressive. It's very comfortable, easy to drive quickly, and very confidence inspiring. This car has the R-Spec suspension that features aluminum cross member in front, which reduces weight.
We are also able to move the engine farther back in the chassis that gives us a 51/49 percent weight distribution front to rear, so it's almost a 50/50 balance. Richard Perry Jones, the former head of product development for Ford, used to say that you could tell a good car within the first 50 feet of driving it, and that's really true. That's the sensation that you get when you get in a Revology Mustang for the first time!
