Rented a Hertz Shelby GT
Hertz has done it again!
I flew into LAX last Sat. for my grandson's 1st birthday and had reserved a el-cheapo car for the weekend from Hertz. When we were approaching the rental facility, the driver announced that they now had Shelby's for rent. I asked the agent how much to upgrade for the convertible, and for a cost of $100 more for the weekend I was off cruising up the 405. Black with gold stripes, just like the '66 you could rent back then. Not nearly as quick as my Cobra, but a blast to drive just the same. They go thru a big deal of checking you out and in, guess they learned from the replaced engines back in the '60s :LOL: If you get a chance, I highly recommend for good time. Thanks, Shelby Automobiles for doing it again. TL:MECOOL: |
That is pretty cool! I doubt that any will be making the tracks like the originals did, but it is still neat!

I also rented a Shelby coupe for a run from Las Vegas to Needles,CA through the desert. I had the car up to 145mph very quickly and it was still pulling. It was also a blast to drive with the traction control off.They could have made the interior a bit nicer but the drivetrain is first rate.

Rented the coupe down in Florida a year or so ago. It was fun to drive. :) But you are right, not as much fun as cruising in the Cobra, but fun none the less.
