        You must be a European.  BadBoys Bad guys car was a Shelby Cobra.  I
don't see how you wouldn't know that one.  Nic Cage drove a Shelby GT500 or
350, I'm not sure what it really was.  Carol Shelby took stock Ford products
and tuned and modified them into super cars.  The Shelby Cobra used a
modified English sports car from A/C Bristol as a base and mounted a Ford
Muscle car engine, I think it was the 427 ....    again not sure.
        For the benifit of those European listers.
