Carroll Shelby Offers Enthusiasts the Ultimate Affordable Musclecar -
Shhh, Don't Tell the Guys with the V8's
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Big block and small block V8
owners of all types may want to take a second look the next time a "V6"
Mustang pulls up to the light as Carroll Shelby International Inc's
(OTC: CSBI) wholly owned subsidiary Shelby Automobiles, Inc. announces the new
Shelby CS 6 Mustang concept vehicle. Shelby Automobiles, known for speed and
performance through the leadership of legendary racecar driver and Cobra
creator Carroll Shelby, will offer a modified V6-engined 2006 Ford Mustang,
dubbed the CS 6. Packed with a NOVI-1200 Supercharger from Paxton Automotive
Corp., the CS 6 is destined to be the next great sports car from Shelby
Automobiles pumping out an incredible 350+ horsepower. The Shelby CS 6 will
be introduced at the Vortech/Paxton Booth (#22853-Central Hall) during the
Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas.
The CS 6 features a Shelby-exclusive Paxton NOVI-1200 Centrifugal
Supercharger, unsurpassed in high performance, reliability and quiet
operation. The bolt-on NOVI-1200 is based on Paxton's race-proven gear case,
helical-cut gears constructed from billet-steel, aerospace-quality high-speed
bearings and an air/water charge cooler. The CS 6 will be one of the most
powerful supercharger kits for the V6 Mustang available on the market and its
350+ HP is a significant increase over the 210 HP of the stock Mustang and the
GT version.
"Shelby Automotive is excited to offer the CS 6 with a focus on balance,
performance and affordability," said Amy Boylan, President of Shelby
Automobiles. "With the Paxton Supercharger, the suspension modifications and
the subtle cosmetic enhancements, the CS 6 will remind enthusiasts of the old
GT350 -- fast and strong but light on its feet. There is going to be a lot of
excitement from speed aficionados when the CS 6 hits the market."
2005 marks the 40th Anniversary of the Paxton-supercharged Shelby Mustang
legacy dating back to the famed GT350 and GT500 programs in the late 1960's.
In 1965, Carroll Shelby fitted a prototype Paxton Supercharger to the GT350
starting the Shelby/Paxton relationship. Eleven total Paxton supercharger
kits were installed by the Shelby factory and a number of additional kits were
sold to customers for retro installation. The CS 6 stands poised to continue
the great Shelby/Paxton tradition of producing consummate performance-modified
autos.
The Shelby CS 6 is racing-styled in the custom of great Shelby cars from
the past but updated to create a unique and modern design. Among the interior
and exterior modifications to the CS 6:
* Custom hood
* Custom brakes
* Custom 20" American Racing wheels
* Shelby Automobiles badging
Available in the first part of 2006, the Shelby CS 6 will be sold through
Shelby Automobiles Las Vegas headquarters and a national dealer network.
