I mostly agree - but you'd prefer electric over an LS? I've never been able to comprehend such fervent loyalty to automotive marketing brands. Neither did Shelby apparently - the old man sourced whatever he could from whichever manufacturer was willing to work with him. Given the packaging / size advantages of the LS over the Coyote, I'm sure if the Cobra story was happening right now instead of the early 60's, the odds of him going with the bowtie option would be pretty damn high.

As witnessed that he used mostly GM components for the off-the-shelf parts, including engine, in the Series 1.

I'd prefer a Briggs and Stratton over an LS. |

My favorite story showed that the AC Ace was destined to finish it's life with a V8 stuffed in them. At AC Dennis Hurlock fired a letter off to GM, at about the same time, so the story goes, Carroll was on top of Pikes Peak, talking to the GM reps, they both had their eyes on the new Buick aluminum V8. Of course, there was a third party with deep pockets, Rover, and we all know how that ended! Cheers, Dennis
