......beware ricers, the snake is cometh !!

never thought of you has an OMG person oOo:


nice car

lol check out gramps!

I guess you don't know who that is eh? Thats the one and only Carroll Shelby. Anything with his name on it is killer (minus those dopey dodge's in the 80's)

Not only is he responsible for the Cobra, Cobra coupe, shelby mustangs.....he's also behind the Viper and Shelby series 1. And he's probably tough enough to slap the piss outta you!

nope didnt know him from adam, but hey man what floats your boat is cool. Not much of a car guy..long as it gets me to where I need to be.

beer:

How bout my GMC truck instead, it is pretty mean. I will give you a sweet deal.

that's a very generous gesture on your part Duke, Arkan would be a fucking idiot to knock that one back.

Don't ever insult me like that again ! [img]http://forums.bradbarnett.net/style_emoticons/default/nono.gif[/img] - 1 for you

Thats awesome that Carroll was involved in it. I heard he had pretty much stopped on cars, then the new Cobra concept came out and i figured his time had been spent on it.

man. when I grow up I wanna be just like Mr. Shelby. Hes old, wrinkly skin and can still do better burn outs then I can. And when you get that car you better make some videos for us.

new mustangs are ugly

i thought that at first, but the GTs are sweeeet. They look alot better than the last couple of mustangs. get a nice color and rims and it makes a difference.

Arkan, your getting a cobra? Shite, thats one large investment. Go big or go home I guess.

Do you have some sort of "jihad" on imports arkan ?

I hardly see how shelby dodges' were "dopey". 175 hp and 175 Ib-ft torque from a revised 2.2 with a Turbo II is what the Dodge Omni GLHS was equipped with, this on a car the size of a tin can. [quote:c8f31]The performance world was set on its ear by early reviews, including an April '96 Hot Rod Magazine cover with the announcement "GLHS WHIPS GT-350!" and a comparison article declaring the little Omni 2-seconds faster over a side by side lap at Willow Springs and 1-second faster in the quarter-mile than a '66 Shelby Mustang; the official GLHS numbers went like this: quarter-mile in 14.7 seconds, 0-60 in 6.5 sec, and .88g on the skidpad.[/quote:c8f31] Now how much did this cost you ask? a $10,995 sticker price.

Back on topic: that car looks like it would be awsome to drive, squeaking the tires in 4th gear. Man has Carroll Shelby ever aged, I have a video from back in 86 where hes showing off the new GLHS and he look so young.

Edit here is the commercial: http://www.hroads.net/~abcde/shelbyc.wmv

GLH = a fucking awesome car.

GLH stands for goes like hell". It was dodges response to the european 4 bangers coming in to the country, such as the rabbit GTI. (It has always been known as a golf in Europe)

Their were 4 types of GLH during its production years of 84 to 87.

GLH = 110hp
Omni GLH 2.2l Turbo charged 142hp
&
GLHS = 2.2l Turbo charged with intercooler. 175hp (Official Car and Driver ET times = 14.9), while Dodge boasted a 14.6-14.7 ET.

I am a huge fan of these cars, sadly they are extremely"""" hard to find anywhere nowadays..finding a GLHS for sale is even harder. Only 3285 GLH's were made in 84 alone.... so your chances of finding an actaul "GLHS" from 85 = slim to none.

The nearest comparable Big 3 comparision car of the time was the Mustang SVO in 84, with a 2.3l 175hp turbo charged + intercooler. it ran its ET in 15.9... I kind of see Arkans comments as part of his hate for 4 bangers in general. biggrin:

Not to take away from the Omni, i just don't think Shelby's name should be attached to that car. Call it whatever you want but not a Shelby. When one hears the name Shelby, Cobras and Mustangs come to mind, not an Omni.

...and as for "4 bangers", i don't mind them. I respect anything that is fast. What i don't like is the thought of attaching a wing and a coffee can for a muffler and thinking your ride is pimp.

Wanna laugh? Two idiots were racing their riced out coffee cans on the hwy only to be passed by yours truly driving a soccor mom van !! I nearly pissed myself as i sped past both of them!

Exact same car as mine, considering this guy has only trimmed 100 pounds off the car, and done a few engine upgrades and is turning in 12.9 ET's = fucking awesome. a 12second car for 13k(price includes parts) american = 1337. They guy is still using the stock pulleys, exaust, and headers, he could pull out some more easy power from that thing.
