Carroll Shelby Quotations

Porsche and BMW drivers are arrogant.

Racing has reached the point where it is pricing the young driver, no matter his talent, out of the game.

Thank god there's no 48-hour race anywhere in the world, because chances are nobody could beat Porsche in a 48 hour race. They're probably the only cars in the world that would stand up for something like that.

I don't think I'm a celebrity. I'm just a guy from east Texas who loves cars and airplanes.

What I wanted to do was build an automobile.

I love raising animals. I look at animals as more perfect human beings. I can relate to an animal.

I don't design cars. I'm not a designer. I know what I desire to be built, I know what the end result is, the horsepower, the competition we'll be working against - but I leave it to the people who work with me to put it all together. I don't do anything.

Any man that eats Chili and Cornbread can't be all bad

It was fun to blow off a Porsche with a 3900 donkey [the 1965 Shelby GT350 Mustang].

I'm not going to take this defeatist attitude and listen to all this crap any more from all these people who have nothing except doomsday to predict.
