Default SHELBY "SUPER SNAKE" 725HP

Shelby Automobiles will use newly-developed Ford Racing GT500 performance packs to help transform a limited number of 2007 and 2008 Ford Shelby GT500's into fire breathing "Super Snake" coupes. The Super Snake post-title package will include enhancements to the Ford Shelby GT500's handling, styling and power; tuning options will range from a warranted 600 HP V8 to over 725 HP (unwarranted) DAMN

Yep...because LSx cars are untouchable right?

Why is it always the slow guys that flap their gums?

i will say this again for the billionth time since nobody has said it,,, " wouldn't be shi* without the blower"

But yes it will cost you your *** because you still got to come up with a GT500 to send to him. As most people are aware, they are not going for sticker

And with that statement I now can retire as I have one billion dollars now.

This lil 281 doesn't have a blower and I'm sure I'll surprise any LS1 that is in the next lane. Right parts and right driver a N/A 4.6 can be made to be pretty quick. -Mark

I watched the top gear episode with the GT 500. I figured that like the previous Cobra's it would have a IRS, better handling and a beefed up rear end, but it didn't! Was the same rear they use on the GT trim Mustang.

Kind of surprised they are letting it get over Ford GT power numbers, has the GT been discontinued?

I'm just glad I can hang with newer cars. H/C and a little spray will take you a long way. but 700 HP is a little overkill for the street.

Might as well buy a GT500 and slap nothing but a KB on it...700rwhp through
stock exhaust.
