I don't understand why they choose to leave out the years he built these cars. Thanks for letting me rant here.....I feel a little better now
Dan... it is true that the FWD cars are considered stepchildren by the community.

Can you educate us on this one point...if you are into the history:

Were these cars actually built by Shelby in a separate facility?
Did they race, in the day?

Honestly, I have always considered them more efforts in marketing, not performance technology....dressed up in endorsement, like Michael Jordan sneakers. Give us some history to help change that perception.
