That's why they had the hood scoop, oil cooler, roll bar, and more flare to the fenders, as well as the SW 240 fuel pumps in the trunk, a larger gas tank, and many other features that the street 427's didn't have. Only 36 real S/C's were made, if memory serves me correctly.

I believe Jim is correct. They were race cars that SAI tweaked just enough to market as a street legal car. I also have heard both "Street/Competition" and "Semi Competition", but personally I think the former made more sense. |

Actually, according to Shelby, the name comes from the first time someone wearing shorts wasn't careful climbing out of one of these side-piped beasts.

I learned something new today - I thought it stood for 'Scarred Calves'. |

Those weren't turbochargers, they were Paxton centrifugal superchargers. |
