Motorheads, Check This Shelby Series 1...

I guess the motor and powertrain in this machine is an Aurora, which is GM stuff, a departure for Shelby, but only because Ford had no muscle available. From what Frank said (or my feeble understanding), it's the progenetor of the Northstar V8 that they use in Caddies. There's a wikipedia link in the OP that says some more about specs.

A couple of the family members who have drove/rode in this thing say once you hit 120 in 6th gear, there's a whole pedal's worth of goose left to send you into oblivion. It's a bit scary powerful. Some day when Frank hasn't had a few, I'll have him take me on a death ride and see what she has, if we can get me in there.

The outside of that car is big on the cool factor; awesome! I am not sure about the dashboard though, guages, radio, and ac knobs scream GM product to me.

Yah I agree I wasn't too excited about the dash but the rest of the car makes up for that!

They are totally GM and very sparse. I thought it odd, too.
