Factory Five Roadster Firing Up

With the wiring complete and a few gallons of gas on board, Charles hopped into the Roadster while it was still on jack stands, and gave the ignition key a twist. The battery wasn't up to par, and with a quick battery swap from the other school car, the high-mileage donor 5.0 fired on the second try. Even with stock exhaust (which is quieter than the optional Factory Five 4-into-4 headers), the bark from the side pipes got the class jazzed, and we all erupted into cheers and applause. Now on to the home stretch.<BR><I>Check out video the engine starting for the first time!</I><BR><a href="http://release.theplatform.com/content.select?pid=pVPUQSR0vTTy_1QrK8CsFGJdndxuft10&UserName=Unknown">Windows Media</a> | <a href="http://release.theplatform.com/content.qtl?pid=rRY0wXG5TukDOG5Y_dTBmUYQnvk3s1nM&UserName=Unknown">Quicktime</a>
