Dude slapped his name on anything for money.Not that I didn't like him or his cars. He was just a huge hypocrite. Yup. And Ford didn't need him. It's a shame they rubbed his old man balls all over the (what should have been ) GT500 Cobra. It's the only thing Shelby about it. Kind of tainted the car for me. They will probably keep the name as a tribute or something now. Who knows. Sad about his passing though. It's been coming for the last few months though. Quote Selected

Carroll Shelby dies Reply #14 – May 13, 2012, 11:36:28 AM He wd his name out to any and all who would pay what he asked. RIP, but no tears from me.As far as "his" roadsters are concerned, you can build your own (and probably faster and safer) than a set of head bolts from an original 289 Cobra would cost today...My point: he sued everyone's asses that called their shiznit a cobra anything...yet he pirated a British car and made it his own....irony. And all that money? Can't take it with ya..I suppose it COULD be worse....at least we don't have a GT500 Dodge Shelby Shadow that everyone has raging hard-ons over...lol Quote Selected
