I saw a KR about 3 or so months ago on a truck. First one I ever saw.

I was there at about the end of August during their "remodeling" phase. The tour was unavailable at that point also. They only had about 10 cars in the showroom then, and 1 in the parking lot. Did you happen to eat at the Shelby Cafe? One of the casino's had a coupon for a free poker chip, so I picked one of those up when I was out there also. And since Las Vegas Motor Speedway is just right down the road, took a quick trip down to there too.

Yeah the KRs are pretty badass with their 540 horsepower, but the Kenne Bell Super Snakes with their 725 horsepower(like the orange one) are :bowdown:  The black convertible between the orange and blue cars is Carrol Shelby's personal car.

They gave away away those poker chips (Shelby Buck) to everyone on the tour and when we were done walking through the plant they had everybody sign the wall.  I didnt get a chance to eat at the cafe, but i figure i can go anytime since i live in Vegas now.
