    SHELBY AUTOMOBILES AND SCOTT DRAKE ENTERPRISES ANNOUNCE PERFORMANCE PARTS COMPANY FOR NEW MUSTANGS

    Las Vegas – June 14, 2007 – A new performance parts business formed by Shelby Automobiles™ and Scott Drake Enterprises, Inc. will be introduced at the 33rd Annual Mid-America Ford Performance and Shelby Meet on June 14, 2007. The new company, called Shelby Performance Parts, LLC will offer a complete line of products to turn up the wick on 2005 and newer Ford Mustangs, Shelby GT’s and Shelby GT500’s. Many of the key components from Shelby’s partnership with Ford Racing, which is demonstrated in the new “Super Snake” package for Ford Shelby GT500, will be at the event.

    “Genuine Shelby parts will pump up the capabilities of any contemporary Ford or Shelby Mustang,” said Amy Boylan, Shelby Performance Parts Co-Founder. “The aggressive suspension and engine packages are taken from lessons learned during development of Ford Shelby cars. Working with Scott Drake Enterprises, we developed components and packages that will power these cars to the front of the pack.”

    Packages available from the company will include newly-developed enhancements to the handling, styling and power of all current generation V6 and V8 Ford Mustangs and Shelby’s. Individual components will include upgraded brakes, supercharger packages, suspension components and cosmetic pieces such as hoods and fascias exclusively designed at Shelby Automobiles. Engine tuning options will range from 300 HP (with warranty) for the V6 Mustang to over 750 HP from the 5.4L V8 (without warranty). Shelby Performance Parts will offer the Shelby CS6 and Shelby GT500 40th anniversary packages, as well as clothing and accessories.

    Some of those components are part of the new Shelby GT500 “Super Snake” package for the 2007 and 2008 Ford Shelby GT500. The prototype hot rod Shelby will be on display at the Shelby rig throughout the event.

    “We’re announcing Shelby Performance Parts at the Mid-America Ford and Performance Meet because the enthusiasts who attend are always seeking a new competitive edge,” added Scott Drake, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Shelby Performance Parts. “Our goal is to give enthusiasts more ways to enjoy their pony cars . By combining the experience at Scott Drake Enterprises with the performance expertise at Shelby Automobiles, we believe Shelby Performance Parts will become a hot spot for serious performance fanatics.”

    The longest-running, multi-faceted event in the world, the Mid-America Ford Performance and Shelby Meet includes a broad range of activities including drag racing, a cruise night, road racing exhibitions, a car show and banquet. Several stock and modified Shelby’s will be at the event headquarters, which is the Tulsa Marriott located just south of I-44 at the Lewis Avenue exit. Factory test drivers will also demonstrate products at the Hallett Motor Raceway road course and Tulsa Raceway drag strip during the four day event.

    Parts are now available exclusively at http://www.shelbyperformanceparts.com/ or by calling (702) 405-3500. Super Snake packages will be available from Shelby Autos and Shelby Performance Parts beginning in late summer 2007; those interested in adding it to their Shelby GT500 can contact the factory at (702) 942-7325.
