Default Jay Leno's Garage - Ford Shogun

Anyone browsed Jay Leno's website? - http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/

Just spent the last hour or so watching vids of him and all his cars, awesome place!

Seen this too, parked among the SLR, Carerra GT, Corvette Z06, ZR1, Atom etc

http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/cars/89Shogun_shell.shtml

In its day, the Shogun allegedly outperformed the Ferrari 360 in both speed and cornering. Weighing in at around a ton with 220 hp, the car’s power-to-weight ratio is fantastic. It will clock over 145 mph, go 0 - 60 in 4.6 seconds and do a quarter mile in 12.9 at 100 mph. But all that power wasn’t enough for Jay when he was shopping for a daily driver to take him to his new job at “The Tonight Show.” So he had a dry manifold nitrous oxide system installed. Once he punches the laughing gas, Jay’s Shogun gains about 90 hp, to run at about 310.

Cool site.
