I'm not suprised, Carroll Shelby is going to be building some really cool cars before he croaks. I am sure Ron Pratte will be buying the first one. He owns almost everything else Carroll has built or personally owned.

Three letters...... IRS
A car with over 400 hp should have independent rear suspension. So this is pushing it.

There will be Camaro tuners that will be giving more or less the same power. In a better looking and handling car. But that won't be for another two years. I'd take a Super Sport over a Super Snake any day

It has no warranty on the top version. That makes me wonder a lot about build quality. Are the parts really capable of running that much power? If they are, then it should have some sort of warranty. If they are not, then Shelby should go ahead and upgrade those parts.

lol, the 725 hp one may be able to get fairly close to a ZR1 in a straight line but if it has to stop or actually go around corners the Mustank will be left in the dust. 2 very different cars with very different buyers.

So the 600hp version has a warranty, the 725hp one doesnt, but 800hp and 900hp ones do? That doesnt jive. I've only heard of the 600 and 725 flavors but I suppose there could be others, just depends how deep someone's pockets are. IMHO warranties are made to be broken. Mine will be voided as soon as I get my 5th gen back to the house.

At a car show a couple of weeks ago I parked my Old School Muscle car right next to a brand new mustang GT. He was advertising that his car was going to be one of the few to get the super snake kit. It looked pretty cool, but it was an additional 30K.

If the guy had a 'GT', unless I'm wrong, he's BSing you. The Super Snake pkg., is an addition to the GT500.

hell for the price these morons are willing to spend on a ford, i could have bought a camaro from every generation and supe them up to that kinda hp. or, i could just buy a vette and throw a smaller pulley on the s/c, whoop the crap out of them, and still have money left over. Quote:
soooo...they are saying they'll finally get a mustang to 170? thats fine... stock vettes can do what? 200? Quote:
uniquely ford-shelby way.... meaning they are going to bend you over the counter and rail you till you cant walk with the extra 30k you have to spend on it. All I have to say is this... New packaging, same product...losers.
