The Shelby is just a concept, so any numbers would be just speculation.
I know the Porsche runs something like an 11 second quater mile. Even the Shelby would have a hard time with that.
As for the track, I would give it to Porsche because of the amazing chasis it has. For all I know, the Shelby could be faster, but I think it would hard for them to pull it off.

has anyone seen a commercial with a couple of country singer chicks driving in a hot convertible? i think it is a soda commercial, maybe dr. pepper. anyway the car is silverish with blue stripes from nose to tail.i was thinking that might be the new shelby cobra.

Ones a real (serois)car and the other is a pipe dream.
I know shelby has been around, but that porsche is incredibly well engineered, designed and actualy functioning.
I'm far from a porsche fan but the Carrera GT is an awsom car, probably the best supercar around, if to soulless.
The cobra has far to many wild claims and not enough real car. Arnt they claiming 260mph or something? thats unacheivable from that car as is.

I could have sworn it was a shelby cobra... All i can remember about that commercial are the tailights. Look likes a late 90s or early 2000s cobra. click for more pictures HERE.....
Edit* After more research i came to the conclusion that it's a Shelby Series 1.

There is no doubt whatever is marqueed "Shelby" is pretty badass. But, a buddy of mine had a Series One in his trim shop and though it obviously goes like hell, its fit and finish sucked. Especially for the price. I go Porsche.

Oh, and here is a link from Shelby's web page about the supercharger when it was first released.

The Shelby Series 1 comes with the 320 hp Aurora 4.0 L V-8 standard, you can order the Vortech supercharger package and that will up hp to 450 hp. Does mid 12's.

I could have sworn that I saw the Salen S7 in that commercial. I haven't seen it in over two weeks. Maybe I'm thinking the Mach3 advertisement. Disregard.
Edit: Just did a search on it and it is a vette. :D
