So I dont know how many of you will feel the same way I do, but I've met him and he is not only a great guy but he had an awesome contribution to the auto industry.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Carroll Shelby, most famous for creating high-performance road and racing cars bearing his name, died Thursday in Dallas, Texas. He was 89 years old.

Shelby's name is probably most associated with the Cobra, a car that combined a lightweight British racecar body with a powerful Ford V8 engine. He is also known for the Shelby line of Ford Mustang-based performance cars.

89 years is a pretty good run.  Think they'll put stripes on his coffin?

I  dont know about putting stripes on his coffin, but I bet you it will be the fastest coffin in the cemetery.

So sad. I own a 67 mustang. Wish it was a shelby. He will be missed

RIP.

Wow, I don't even know what to say. This is almost as hard as when Colin McRae passed for me. Carroll Shelby really accomplished so much in his time and made some of the most coveted muscle cars to date. People still drool at the opportunity to even see a non kit car Shelby Cobra in person. He will be missed by many I'm sure.

RIP Shelby,
