The passing of a legend. A sad day for automotive buffs. RIP Carroll Shelby.

I remember when the Viper first came out and Car and Driver magazine did a test comparing it to the Shelby Cobra. The best line was when they were talking about the speed and handling and they said going 80 mph in the Viper is like doing 80 in a very well designed sports car. Doing 80 in the Cobra is like doing 80 on a skateboard.
Sounds like fun to me.
