2012 Shelby GT500 Super Snake strikes with an astonishing 800 HP
Ray Wert — Shelby's just announced they will unveil the new Super Snake post title package for the 2012 Ford Shelby GT500 at this month's New York Auto Show. The highlight of the new Super-slithery 'stang is it's whopping 800 horsepower optional tuning package. Wow... just... wow.
The 2012 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake post title package includes:
• Ford Racing handling pack including dynamic adjustable dampers, lowering springs, tuned stabilizer bars and front strut tower brace
• An optional Shelby / Eibach handling pack is available
• 6-speed manual transmission with 3.73:1 rear axle ratio and short-throw shifter
• The standard tune upgrades power to over 750 HP and 590 ft./lbs. of torque

Me too. Thats too much power for the street, and for street tires. Its an intersection spin-out waiting to happen.

I haven't looked into it much, but I don't think the GT500s have any problems with breaking ****.

I'm just gonna out right say that this car is retarded. WTF was Shelby thinking by putting 20" wheels on a RWD production car with that much power? The last one got beat by a stock GT-R in the 1/4 on stock tires and this one I guarantee will have more traction issues, having to support an extra 100hp. Handling of this car forget about it, I wouldn't want to take that car on a turn around the block.
Shelby should have offered these packages with drag radials.
