Shelby Series 1

My good friend just got two of these cars in his shop, one for him N/A and one for his customer this one has the super charger in it.
Yesterday we put his on the lift and started to take her apart, he's gonna paint her flat and gloss black, carbon fiber the whole interior, super charger and a whole bunch of other great stuff.
you guys gotta see this car, its all carbon fiber and aluminum.
the whole frame is welded aluminum, coilover inside the engine bay, it looks like a race car setup.
by the way, it has parts from Chevy and Olds, the engine is olds 32v northstar
they only made 249 and he has two in his shop.

easily one of the top ten most ugly cars ever made. Not only is the design ugly, but it looks like a kit car.

i recall about a year ago, i was in NJ visiting relatives, on the way back, a Series 1 (sounded like it had no cat or muffler at all), flew by me. I was in the Evo....
i catch up at the red light, i give the guy the thumbs up, and he opens his window... says he got 550 to the wheels... so Im like, gee i wonder if i could even keep up with you.... he says he knows what an Evo is (surprising, for a 60y old guy driving a Shelby, but great) , but "there is no way I could keep up with him in a straight line" (meaning at the drag strip)... then he goes, Ok, so you want me to start in second, or third?"
