Matt MartirJun 25, 2012 I think mercedes and Ferrari should allow kits to be made for their rare cars just so people can have a better chance at seeing one. 300sl gullwings are very hard to come by. Id be excited to see a 300sl kit car in person even if it isnt "real"
Matt MartirJun 25, 2012 Except good luck finding an SL gullwing kit. Im pretty sure i read an article on here somewhere about mercedes destroying a replica because it wasnt authorized or something along the lines.
Dale SchroederJun 25, 2012 @Drew: It's to keep the headlamp glass from falling all over the track if one gets hit by debris and broken. It also allows headlights to be used on track, unlike a full cover.
Rudolf DasslerJun 25, 2012 I wouldn't mind a SL with a big ass engine... Would prefer the 6,0 V12 from AMG though....
Drew StorrustenJun 25, 2012 Alright can someone please explain to me the purpose of the black x's over the headlights!!!!????! I've seen them before but never got told what it meant.
Graham YoungJun 25, 2012 Uhh running a lil rich bro !?
Darren NardoJun 24, 2012 Pretty cool just glad it wasn't an original Cobra. Put a 427 in and old SL and Mercedes guys would be throwing a fit!!
Peter O'SullivanJun 24, 2012 I don't think Shelby would mind this at all, seeing as its basically the same way he created his Cobra: a big engine in an existing car. You could argue that without the engine this now has less to do with Shelby, and is more an AC Ace with a V12.
Joe JohnstonJun 24, 2012 Dont like the wing on the back but other than that this car is incredible
Rudolf DasslerJun 24, 2012 Idk what u guys are bitching about... This thing is freaking awesome! Read an article about it some time ago, soooo much work went into it... Totally insane!!! I'd rock that!
Sam OglesbyJun 24, 2012 It's not a shelby anymore it's a mish mash of European cars
Cameron Duncan CondyJun 24, 2012 I have nothing against this car. As long as they didn't use an original Shelby only kit car. The idea of putting a different engine in I pretty cool. Modern version of what Carroll did.
Jared PalmerJun 24, 2012 I think I heard Carroll Shelby roll over in his grave at 3:42
Justin TuckerJun 24, 2012 That's awesome....although I'm not the person to like original things anyways
Clint EdwardsJun 24, 2012 Yeah, lose the wing. I kinda like it though, something different
Zachary CrowleyJun 24, 2012 Usually people on here say "Horrible Ugly Spoiler!!" on everything and i tend to disagree but on the AC, take this damn thing off
No PistonsJun 24, 2012 Completely unorthodox, LOVE it!
Pompey PaulJun 24, 2012 I love it, omg finally my dream car
Kyle HardistyJun 24, 2012 The spoiler and front splitter ruin it. I love v12 but this is a iconic America muscle car. Leave the V8 in it.
Dillon DixonJun 24, 2012 Like the idea, dislike the execution. That chin spoiler and the wing just look out of place. Idk if it's functional or not, it looks wrong.
