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!

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.
