Are you faster than a Shelby? Usually the answer is no.  :devil

You got my hopes up falsely.  When I think of Shelby's I don't think of Mustangs...

That's Kentucky, suh!



My Grandad, who grew up in Lexington, said his aged Aunties told a tale of a huge feud in the Shelby family, with the result that "all the ne'er-do-wells lit off for Tennessee, while the worst of the bunch kept on going all the way down to Texas."  So it might could be that I actually *am* related to Ol' Shel', across a gap of several generations.   ;)

And Ol' Shel' sure made a nice car out of the AC Ace!   :aok

I do find myself wondering what fun it would be to stuff a pumped up GenII Hemi into a lightweight car .. like ..ohh .. a '71 Duster ..f'rinstance. Similar to what the Powerblock Musclecar show did ..but *not* LIME green .. and .. faster.

I want to put this ^

In one of these. ^

Then promptly die with a huge smile on my face at around 200 mph.

Now *that* would be FUN .. altho I would prefer the powerplant in a car with a bit more room :) Perhaps a '69 Camaro ..f'rinstance :)
