Tom King Posted July 10, 2024 Report Posted July 10, 2024 I always wanted one of those. If I'm remembering correctly, 0 to 100 and back to 0 in 11 seconds. Quote

If I'm remembering correctly, 0 to 100 and back to 0 in 11 seconds. I thought that it was around there too, but looked it up and it was 13 seconds for the standard model. Most of that was braking, as it would go from 0-100 in 3.8 seconds. Shelby made a "special version" that he gave to none other than Bill Cosby. Seems that Bill couldn't handle it, so he gave it back. Shelby shipped it to another friend, who couldn't control it either, and ended up driving it over a cliff. 1 Quote
