Shelby advertising scam
Has anyone else seen this ? Shelby says that they didn't know the photos were fake. 
Shelby doctors photos of Shelby 1000 lifting off ground

But he still got a bunch of free publicity out of it. Imagine that.

I read the follow up info and in there it states that the engine contains an aluminum crankshaft. I have never heard of such a thing. Is this a misprint? Does this type of engine not usually require some sort of hardened forged steel crank?

An aluminum crank would probably last less than a minute.

I love how the front suspension still looks compressed while up in the air
