That car in amazing, all or you people that knock on that car have never driven a corvette c5. The LS1 is as delightful a motor as you can get. It pulls from the top, it pulls from the middle, it pulls everywhere. I was in austraila about 4 years ago and had the pleasure of driving a commodore and a monaro. I cant wait till the GTO comes out

Apologies - I was wrong about the engine. I had heard somewhere that the engine from the HSV (Monaro's big brother) used an Aston engine, but that still doesn't make sense. Guess where I heard it? - on a Jeremy Clarkson video - he really is a tit.
The first Shelby Cobra was sold in 1962, AC had been making them since the 50's, all Carrol Shelby did was suggest they use an American v8
The ford GT40 was designed by an Englishman called Eric Broadley, and was built in Slough which is just outside London.
