Now that the official period of mourning is over, this matter-of-fact statement was made, last year, by the late-great Carroll Shelby, surrounded by smiling SVT engineers.

Thanks to tooslow for "reminding" me.

Let a legendary, innovative, now deceased octogenarian rest in peace dude. You're taking his claim out of context as it clearly reffered to a 200mph car that is $55k, not $255k. They go straight into talking about it being an affordable 200mph car that a blue collar guy could seek to afford. Tasteless play call on your part, you're post remind me of the liberal media that hugs and cradles Obama tooth and nail through manipulating every bit of info about his opponents in a seedy derogatory way that quickly backfires on them.

You guys got mr and awesome easy handling, ford guys got easy 9's with bolt ons and a 200mph car. The man has passed and brought far more to the automotive world than that tasteless post you just did. And he made good on that claim. The competition needs at least $110k to sell you a 200mph car right now. That's literally twice the price.

A sole month of respect is a slap in the face. Did people just start laying into Di Vinci right after his death? Surely but it was also tasteless.

Don't make Carrol Shelby out to be as incendiary and brass as al o. They are different league's of car guy. One can walk his talk with the likes of having brought us the gt500, Daytona, cobra roadster, gt40, glhs, series 1, etc etc etc and moved a racing generation forward through his own hard work and merrit, another has .... I'll be nice and just say he's outspoken his product.
