It seems to me either Road and Track or Car and Driver did an article when that car first came out. They were at a bigtime road course with the Shelby GLH and a 350 GT R Mustang.

There were editors from all the major mags laughing it up about what a joke is was running this 4 door tape striped econobox against a "real" Shelby car.

They weren't laughing when the econbox beat the "real" one into turn 1 and proceeded to put a lap on it...

They did it again only this time at a 30 MPH rolling start so as not to beat on a $$$$ Mustang with the drag race standing start. GLH caught the 350 before the end of the second lap and proceeded to put a lap on it again.

I have been a big fan ever since.
