No mention of Carroll Shelby passing?

I must admit while cruising another audio site I came across Shelby's passing.

I must be under a rock.

Searched here for what others had to say but found nothing.

I figured with discussion of best cigars, liquors, cars there would be some mention. Certainly an American automotive icon.

His contributions to the automotive world will be missed. Condolences to his family.

Definitely understand your point. Just felt like mentioning someone that has always interested me. I think Polleys passing deserves mention too. After all without the remote we couldn't have developed those midriff curves!!!! :)

Share your love of the 427 SC! Was there ever a better looking car? However I find a '67 or '68 GT350 just as tantalizing.

Undoubtably music to some folks ears!

Best,

Ghosthouse, I'd like to abolish the word 'best' from these forums forever. Every frickin' day someone is asking "what is the best dac?" "What is the best power cord?" "What is the best amp?"

There is NO BEST!!! There, I said it, now I feel better.

Elizabeth who???????

I admire anyone who was an innovator/pioneer in their field, whether their field was audio or any other, and Carroll Shelby certainly fits that definition. When able, I've driven sports cars since I was 23 (my first Fiat X1/9) including my current Honda S2000, and my autos have given me as much pleasure as my audio equipment. Carroll Shelby was a visionary, and thus should be afforded a position equal to Henry Kloss or any of our audio heroes. We all benefit from advancement of our chosen arenas of interest. We are blessed to follow in the footsteps of giants.
