As a team, and Carroll was part of the FIA world championship tour of major as well as Ford GT victories at Le Mans.
When Carroll got his health caused him to abandon the race in 1960, from the driver's seat and turned his attention to design. He had a vision to create a racecar made from a European structure and light weight with the V8 engine of American power.
The result of this vision of what is considered perhaps the greatest sports car and one of the fastest road cars that were built than ever - the Shelby Cobra.

Honeywell turbine engine - 101 operating under the modified Corvette Z06 hydroformed aluminum with components made of aluminum and magnesium structural and chassis. It consists of a shell of carbon fiber, Kevlar on the skin.Born EcoJet helped with the ideas of Jay Leno and Bernard Juchli, car mechanic and caretaker.Welburn them in the design resulted in direction.This EcoJet.
Jay Leno, comedian and talk show host and Ed Welburn, veep GM EcoJet for the world of design in the sky. It's 650 hp (400 lb), super monster named biodiesel EcoJet. Mid-engined monster, originally painted by Leno and Ed on the back of a napkin, shares design cues with everything from jet aircraft and Formular racecars one, and even, apparently, the nose of the Cadillac STS.
