Carroll Shelby Car Quotations

I've always been asked, 'What is my favorite car?' and I've always said 'The next one.'

The Cobra is my personal favorite car. The original 289 Cobra is the car I respect the most. I like to drive the 289 better than the 427.

Driving race cars was an avenue for me to learn how to build my own car, and that was my ambition all along.

I don't design cars. I'm not a designer. I know what I desire to be built, I know what the end result is, the horsepower, the competition we'll be working against - but I leave it to the people who work with me to put it all together. I don't do anything.

Thank god there's no 48-hour race anywhere in the world, because chances are nobody could beat Porsche in a 48 hour race. They're probably the only cars in the world that would stand up for something like that.

Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races
