In this episode of V8 Radio, Mike Clarke and Kevin Oeste veer off the beaten path in many ways. From the standard overselling adjective to a discussion of the Shelby Series 1, Tesla powered Hot Rods, and on to learning from Rush drummer Neil Peart and basketball legend Michael Jordan, this episode digs into what it takes to be the best you can possibly be. Different from a car show, but a worthy topic for sure. Plus, we reveal a bit about a new live show we’re producing from the 2018 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals! Of course, there’s automotive trivia, a few laughs, and more… all on V8 Radio! *Note… this one used a lower-quality sound recording technology, so it does not sound as good as the typical V8 Radio episode. Our apologies.

V8 Radio Podcast: Learning From Neil Peart of Rush and Michael Jordan, Shelby Series 1, Electric Hot Rods, Trivia, And More!
We all rely on electronic fuel injection systems for reliable performance today, but would you believe that the Shelby team was experimenting with the technology back in 1968? Pete Disher brought out this unbelievably rare 1968 Shelby GT500 engineering test vehicle that was equipped with a 428 Cobra Jet engine (rather than the 428 Police Interceptor as standard) and a Conelec Electronic Fuel Injection system as well. It’s an amazing piece of history that was on display at the 2017 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Rosemont, Illinois.
