Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Shelby 3 Hour Tribute this Sunday on Velocity Channel

[Michael James (cavallino_rapante]

Not sure if Shelby was a professionally-trained engineer, but neither was Enzo.  Ever read-about the engines Enzo Ferrari designed and/or built with his own hands?  I haven't.

 

You also never read-about a 'slow' Shelby-powered car.  Care to guess what 'GLH' stands for? 

 

Goes Like Hell.

 

I even liked his Chili.....Lashdeep can attest to that.....

Let's not forget that Shelby was *also* aligned with manufacturers other than Ford - anyone remember the "Shelby" Dodge Omni GLH (and others of its ilk)?
 
I don't think Shelby was picky about who he worked with, so long as his name was on a product and he got paid for it.
 
Admittedly, I did not watch these shows, but I really have to wonder about how much of the "go fast" engineering he really did (if any), at least on the later products that bore his name...  (or is "none" too obvious???)
 
FWIW.
