Roll back the clock to the early sixties and the world was embroiled in a genuine car rivalry. Well, maybe “world” and “embroiled” are a little extreme, but good old boy Carol Shelby and his band of hoons were growing increasingly problematic for Enzo Ferrari. Yes, that Enzo Ferrari. As in, the man, the myth [...]

We finally got our grubby mitts on a shot or two of the wicked new GT500 Super Snake. Yes, sirs, it is as mean as it looks. Very, very mean.

Nothing automotive invokes “God Bless America” more than a Shelby Mustang and IMHO the 2010 GT500 is the 21st century pinnacle of the line’s awesomeness. Sure the last year’s GT500KR was up there but it still smacked a little of tuner car and lacks the new found cohesiveness of the latest gen version. We had [...]

I. Romanian designer Iulian Bumbu made some predictions about the future of Lamborghini this week with his Insecta concept. The design is based on insect exoskeletons and the resemblance is more than just a passing similarity. Even though Bumbu may have nailed the insect thing, we aren’t sure it works for Lambos.

And not just some recreation, either. A genuine, original 1965 Shelby Daytona Coupe, chassis number CSX2601 will be up for bid at 8:00 p.m. on May 18. This rig is supposedly the sixth of eight cars constructed to take on the European competition at Le Mans. How’d it fare? The car took three outright victories [...]

I don’t think I could come up with a title guaranteed to raise fewer eyebrows, but stick with me. The king of FoMoCo speed, Carol Shelby, has partnered with ford to create a new race-only version of the Shelby GT Mustang. One of the many cool parts is that the car isn’t just for straight [...]

OK, while most of you couldn’t even afford to buy your mistresses Xmas gifts this year, some guy just paid $4,350,000 for two Shelby Cobras. Meaning that obviously these Cobras are race pedigreed, Bob Bondurant piloted Sebring winners, right? Um… no! The first and much more expensive car is CSX 3021 (pictured above), thought to be [...]

We’ve driven the new 2010 Ford Mustang GT, but if that pony just didn’t seem muscular enough for you, now there’s this. It’s the venomous new Shelby GT500. With a supercharged 5.4-liter V8, the striped ’stang has 510 torques and 540 horsepower galloping underhood. There’s also upgraded  suspension and brakes to help improve handling. Though [...]

I know this is a bad thing to say, but here goes: For this review I’m tossing the small amount of journalistic credibility I possess out the window. Behind the couch, under the bus — wherever, it’s gone. Bye-bye. Why? Years ago I read an article (don’t recall the publication) that described Bryant Gumbel’s interview [...]

This got me thinking about one of my absolute most favorite cars. Sometimes just called the Daytona Coupe. Designed by Pete Brock specifically to go 185 mph on the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans, the Daytona Coupe exceeded all expectations. Not only did it go 196 mph on the infamous straight, but it won Le [...]
