Thank you for thinking of putting the v8 in the Ac and going on to create a legend in the 427 cobra

Ford are doing a new Shelby Mustang with an insane engine spec, supposed to top out at around 200mph.

650bhp and 600lb-ft of torques.

That new stang sounds pretty impressive , I've owned quite a few muscle cars and however hot they make the new models my heart is still stuck in the real 60's ones. RIP Carroll Shelby.

Quite a guy Mr Shelby. One of the longest ever heart transplant survivors too.

PSA - on BBC4 at 8pm this evening is a programme about Carroll and the Cobras v's Ferraris battle. Could be good viewing.

Only just seen this - real shame. If you're in Las Vegas any time, hire a car and drive out to the Shelby factory/museum - it's free as well.

If that is the program I have seen before then don't miss it! Off to set a reminder.
