And just as I started eating them, I remembered that Mr. Newman has passed away, and now few people remember his racing career. So to cheer me up, watch this drive by video of the insane 700HP twin turbo V8 Bob Sharp Racing 280ZX he drove, which was basically the american equivalent of the Devil Z. This was a 700HP race car (in race trim, who knows how powerful in qualifying?) in 1981, making it more powerful than an F1 car at the time, which were still using Cosworth DFVs. These cars (from the early 70s to the late 80s) were critical in securing the Z'cars success in the United States as a sports car that could compete with the Corvette.
And enjoy this old comparison between the Bob Sharp and the Electramotive cars, this time with their lower displacement engines:

Also, these cookies are delicious. Way better than Oreos.

I wish they had Raspberry Newmans (like Fig Newmans, except with raspberry instead of fig)
Nabisco no longer makes Raspberry Newtons, and Barbara's brand raspberry newtons are nasty

Both he and Carl Haas contributed so much to the sport.

I'm looking forward to the film Adam Carolla's making on Newman. Hope it turns out decent.
