A new "Shelby" officially becomes world's fastest street-legal car...not CS though
Ran across an article this morning on MSNBC The world's fastest street-legal car - BusinessWeek.com - MSNBC.com . Here are some snipets from the article:
- Shelby SuperCars' Ultimate Aero became the fastest production car in the world. - The car boasts 1,183-horsepower!! - The Ultimate Aero posted 257.41 mph on the first pass and 254.88 mph on the second for an average of 256.18 mph. - NASA's wind tunnel testing facility in Langley, Va., found the Ultimate Aero to be aerodynamically stable at speeds up to 273 mph. - Company is run by Jared Shelby (no relation to our beloved CS) who started the West Richland, Wash. company in 2000, decided that he had to break the production car top-speed record in order to establish credibility for his infant company. |
You mean, the soon-to-be-sued Jared Shelby?

Soon to be sued by shelby, no doubt! Shelby will probably be claiming the body which is almost a knock-off of a Diablo is his to! I bet Lamborghini never looks twice- another fly on a cows azz.
