Datsun??

That my poor uninformed friend is a Shelby.

Very few built, went like a raped ape, and is worth more coin than I make in a year.

Had a friend of the family who owned a 68 Shelby, sold it in '70 and has been regretting it ever since I am sure.

Cheers,
RTR

Heh, always my favorite expression for screaming acceleration.  "Like a raped ape."  

Makes me laugh just typing it.  Try to picture it in your mind and I laugh even harder.  :)

Beautiful car, too.

It's an upgunned edition of the Ford Mustang, named after driver/designer Carroll Shelby.

Either Nilson is just pulling everyone's chain, or the socialist bug has finally eaten his brain.

Try to help a Euro understand a piece of American art and all I get is a hook in the mouth.    Next time I'll just call you a stupid piece of socialist Eurotrash and save myself the effort.  :p

Fenno-Scandinavian countries have very virile American Car Clubs; you'd be surprised to see our cities at "Cruising Nights". Here's (http://www.cruisingnight.com/html/kuvat/syyskuu03.html) few pics from last summer's cruisings at Helsinki.
Hmmm  (http://www.cruisingnight.com/kuvat/sekalaiset/2001/sa/pic16.jpg)I wonder if those tyres are street legal...

Heh... (http://www.saunalahti.fi/~fma/images/fordrepair.jpg)

I'm not sure yet, but I think the Barracuda may be my favorite of all time. Obnoxiously big and almost ugly... It rocks.

My dad had a '67 GT-500.  Said he got 8mpg if he stayed out of the second 4-barrel.  

My grandmother blew a water hose on it and melted the engine down.  He sold it cheap.  

One was sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction this year for $300,000+ (IIRC).

the shapes are all inspired on block boxes

just give me a rounded beetle or a porsche 911 sc2 . so u can do some nice cornering stuff.
everybody can go fast straight ahead.
corners needs skill and a good car.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to own a 911 or a 340GT :p   I still like the looks of the original Mustangs, 'specially the Fastback.  I guess being a kid when the Pony, the Camaro and Firebirds were 1st introduced has a nostalgia thing attached to it:rofl   Course if I had the money I'd have a one of these (http://www.fordvehicles.com/fordgt/images/photo_gallery/ph_gt_popup_4.jpg) :aok

The arm growing out of your chest can at least be covered with a coat.
