During the week I normally eat breakfast at home before I head into the office, but today I decided to splurge and get something on the way in.
I drive right past a CFA, so it’s on the way, and they make a pretty good egg, sausage, cheese bowl-thing – so that’s where I stopped.
It was a quarter to seven in the morning, so the place wasn’t busy and at the drive through window the manager meets me to talk cars for a few minutes.
He looks over the Hellcat, nods, and asks the usual questions:
- Hellcat?
- Yep.
- Supercharged?
- Yep.
- How much horsepower?
- About 800.
- How fast is it?
- I’ve done a quarter mile in 11.7 at 127mph, and 0-60 is about three and a half seconds…
After the usual questions he shows me a photo of his 2020 Shelby GT500 mustang. It looks pretty nice and he says it runs about the same in the quarter on a modded upper pulley and an E85 tune.
Anyway, this goes on until the next car pulls up behind me and he hands me my food and drink – and tells me it’s on the house and to have a nice day.
So, there ya go – if you’re looking for an excuse to buy a $70,000 race car, you can occasionally get free breakfast with it.
