Insane hp to weight ratio in that car. A true monster.

How old was she?

Sad, the man was true legend, walk his own path, created many cars---gave the Mustang balls, the original Viper is the modern day version of the 427 Cobra and Shelby Daytona.
His influence on the automotive industry is huge.

Dude was a legend, dude was also a giant douche.

RIP.

Ive been told his hard ass talk, was just that. He told it like it was, no PC bullshit, pulled no punches, truly old school. If Your feelings got hurt, "oh well", was the sediment.

Not exactly. Thats the rep he (supposedly) pimped out.
The guy that owns my school knew him. Said he was a liar, a douche, and a... well... less than reputable character.
Said his reputation was mostly manufactured by smart marketing and his on track success, but that he was..... terrible.

I can see that---the man was old as hell...
Most of what he did was his "team"...
