It's a box with a red "x" in it.

Is that what Shelby is charging all that money for. I guess it would be worth it if you didn't have to take the car.

It looks like to me like Playmate of the Year Karen McDougal....just a guess .

Actually, it looks like the new Shelby Colbra. I thought I saw it in a Maxim a couple of months ago but I can't find the issue. Rather kick a#$ car if you ask me. Goes for something like $270 grand though.

Well I'm not about to say it isn't overpriced (The Shelby too!), but they are very quick anyway. Scince the Shelby was as fast as a 911 Turbo, I'd say you'd get smoked but I still run'em if you got the chance. Made by the BEST criminal labor in Vegas. Should be about $175K for car and $ALL YOU CAN STEAL BEG AND BARROW for the girl.

That is a Shelby Series 1. Been out for a few years now. Has the Olds Aurora motor in it. It was originally supposed to rival the original Cobra performance wise on motor alone, but GM couldn't make the power they promised. Carroll got really pissed over it and had to resort to supercharging them for production to meet the performance advertised.

Yes the car costs huge amounts of money. But also realize that ALL the profits made off these cars goes to Carroll Shelby's Foundation for children with heart desease.

Who the hell was talking about the damn car? I could afford that, but I'm sure the girl goes for a lot more than $270K.

It is actually called the Shelby Series 1.I took a tour of the assembly plant in Vegas recently.They brought one out to the track to show off.It was actually quite impressive.It dosnt sound like much,but It runs like a scalded dog.I think the base price is around $170,000 .The frame is aluminum honeycomb and the body is carbon fiber.It really is more impressive in person though.also,DAMN that chick is hot!!!
