I respectfully disagree. Shelby accomplished with his race program something AC would never have been able to do, in my opinion. Shelby took it to the next level. There is a fine line between a good race car and a great race car. The "great" came from Shelby inspiration.

One could speculate that perhaps AC would have eventually found a Ford motor for their car? Perhaps, but it would have been to little to late IF they had even managed.

AC today would be like MG, assuming anyone even KNEW who AC was!
