Carrol Shelby passed away today. No matter what platform you like to drive , there is no denying his influence and gifts to speed.

Hate to hear this. Shelby was a god among men in the performance world.

A true genius amongst mere men.

Oh no! RIP! My first car was a Mustang Cobra with a design that I believe was influenced by Mr. Shelby.

Sad day in motorsports. My neighbor in Texas had a GT 350, man that car was sure fun to run through the gears.

A sad day indeed. However, since he was supposed to be dead from his heart condition 50 years ago, I count it a victory he lived this long. He had to quit race driving because he was taking 5 or so nitroglycerine pills a race. He was a visionary when it came to marketing and he certainly knew what it took to make a fast car. I've had the pleasure of driving a few Shelby cars and they may not always be the best at one thing or another but they've all been a great all-around fun car to drive. He really had a way with that. There was an article in one of the car magazines last month about all of his cars he put his name on and some of the career highlights. He was a pretty cool guy. He will be missed.

The man was a true artisan when it came to automobiles.
