Sure, they COULD mass produce a 1000 hp V8, but Venom could never pay all those taxes, pass all those smog tests, or have the money to make as many Ford does.

Make a blender out of that v8

I wonder what monster they're making to commemorate his passing...

So there is a difference in a production car and a mass production car? There are a ton of GT500's because they're built by ford who has the money to make them.

But those 1000hp cars aren't mass produced.

Paul M Norberg Jun 12, 2012

At least the old man died smiling because he knows the GT5 is in good hands after he's gone!

Brady Fereday Jun 12, 2012

Dave Stewart Jun 12, 2012

Avery Williams Jun 12, 2012
The passing away of a legend....he will be missed for sure.

Justin Routh Jun 12, 2012
I think its crazy that you can now buy a car that goes over 200mph for under $60k

Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races. I do believe Carroll Shelby said that.

Bruce-Almighty Tumblin Jun 12, 2012

Patrick Schalk Jun 12, 2012

Thibault Leroy Jun 12, 2012
