I feel mixed, that is awesome because it is a great car but disgusting because it will set the wrong precedent possibly for production cars that we will buy.

Does anyone else think BJ and "Speed" scwewed up the sale of the Challenger??? I was really disappointed in what they showed and what they didn't show. Does anyone else think Ford had something to do with it??????????

Ford sponsored the "event". Why do you think the highest prices were paid for the vintage Shelby's and the new KR? Carroll was there, sold his personal GT500 there, Pratte made sure he had HIS money there for those items (including that disgusting beheamoth - the Blastolene), and then everything (the big money) evaporated right after that.
Don't get me wrong - Pratte donated a LOT of money to the charities that were properly represented, and got a couple of nice cars in the process. I respect that. But when a "17-year old novelty" such as "Robosaurus" brings $175,000.00 more than a number 1 production car - the proceeds of the sale of which go to charity - something's very wrong.

It's no wonder that the Corvette #1 and the Challenger #1 were on the docket so late. Why would B-J put those cars in "prime" time when the sponsor had a car and a cause to showcase?

the funny thing watching the sale of the KR was listening to the Ford rep talk about the charity and then mentioning the incorrect charity. He spoke of the charity that was to be for the ZR1.
