Default Carroll Shelby

Hey guys, I was wondering if you can help me find the article where Carroll Shelby said, “Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races.” It's one of my favorite quotes and I need it for a paper . Sorry for the off-topic...this paper is due Thursday and I want to get it done.

Horsepower and torque are inseparable. Horsepower is just a calculated quantity of torque at a certain shaft rotating speed.

As far as the Shelby quote, couldn't tell ya. Not sure if he even made that quote.
