I think it was true to the outline he stated - 1962-1967 and the path the LeMans. Truthfully, the 427 Cobra was not a factor by this time. The body style of the Cobra was not competitive - it was like driving a 4x8 sheet of plywood. It had done its job, got the base for the Coupe in place, but even the coupe wasn't what the racing community was driving - the GT40 was the right shape and everything.

He did homage to the 427 Cobra from his boyhood.

The 427 was hardly irrelevant - it's presence was not lost but probably just not a factor in the story they were trying to tell tonight.

Shelby's tribute to Ken Miles was the best part.

His promise to drive a TT Ford GT at 230+MPH (at the Texas Mile) is going to be worth the wait.

AJ Baime got to tell some of the story too.

I give it a B overall... It'd be a B+ but there were too many commercials.
