Some car news:

Carroll Shelby, the guy who turned Mustangs into fire-breathing monsters, passed away last week. He was a true icon in the motoring world, and I hope the guys at Shelby continue the tradition for the future.

Happily, Pagani isn’t finished with the Zonda just yet. They’ve made a limited number of road versions of the Zonda R, called the Zonda 760 RS (760 horsepower), and, well, it’s insane. Insanely good, that is. Hope they continue with the Zonda body style, I’m not a big fan of the Huayra.

This past week, I got to check out the Ferrari 430 Scuderia at a supercar showroom, and I must say, it is genuinely jaw-dropping. I tried out the paddle shifters, and they are simply amazing, much better than I thought they’d be. It was my first time in such a car, and it was incredible, though because the Scuderia is the track version, there was a roll cage and scaffolding all over the place which made it hard to get in to. But still very worth it. Also got to see a Maserati MC12, though I couldn’t go into it.
