so I clicks when I saw the headline "world's fastest car" and it's a Shelby but deep down in the article it says "For company founder Jerod Shelby it was a business decision. From early on Shelby, who started the West Richland (Wash.) company in 2000, decided that he had to break the production car top-speed record in order to establish credibility for his infant company. "No one is going to buy a $600,000 car they never heard of," he says.yadda-yadda turns out the guy is no relation to Carroll Shelby but I wonder how much consternation it cause at Shelby's Las Vegas HQ whenever this other shelby does anything to get into the news? Maybe since Shel's sons don't want to be in the car biz, he could hire this other Shelby, on the theory that it is better to have one's enemies close than further off where you can't see what they're doing... The scary part is that GM or chrysler could make a deal with this guy and then they could market Shelbys... "
