I'm not anti Shelby.. I just think the guy did what americans do best, he adapted and over came and excelled..

He never invented anyting.. The "Cobra" may have been his name but it certainly was not a unique concept.. He didn't invent the OHV V-8 or the car he put it in.. As far as that goes he didn't invent slapping a big engine in a small car.

Worlds most famous chicken farmer.. yes.. A tireless self promoter certainly, hellava good driver absolutly.. American original, Legend.. Sure.. Self described A-hole and Gouchy B@#stard.. 100%..
