The Shelby name has been related to classic, super-fast autos for years. However, Carroll Shelby, the person who made the world think about automobiles rather than reptiles when referring to cobras or vipers, is not related whatsoever to Jarod Shelby, the owner of SSC and the designer of the Final Aero TT. Perhaps there is just something about that name?.
