PRICE : FOR 662 HP-$28,995
PRICE : FOR 850 HP-$39,995
ABOUT : If the 650 HP coming out of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 isn’t enough for those speed-lovers out there, Shelby American is ready to shut them up with their famous Super Snake package, which will transform the stout muscle car into a more powerful and agile machine.
The new Super Snake package will upgrade the GT500’s power level to an impressive 662 HP in the base version, or an incredible 850 HP if the additional supercharger is chosen. The model can be ordered in any exterior color combined with Satin Black or Gloss White stripes and new wheels in Satin Black or Bright Silver Metallic. As a first for Shelby vehicles, the new Super Snake will be offered with a choice of rear-only or front and rear "wide body" packages with an optional 13 inch rear wheel and tire package - a tribute to the legendary Carroll Shelby.
The new GT500 Super Snake package is priced at $28,995 for the 662 HP version and $39,995 for the 850 HP model, not including the base car. It will be limited to only 500 units, both coupe and convertible. The official debut will be made at the upcoming Barrett-Jackson collector car auction in Las Vegas on September 27th–29th.
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE : As with the rest of the Mustang line up the GT500 recently gains updated HID headlights along with LED tail lights, a blacked-out license-plate surround and body-coloured rocker panel extensions. Unique to the GT500 are quad exhaust pipes and two new wheel designs.
The interior continues to utilize a sporty dual-cowl dashboard design, vintage-inspired gauges and an oversized three-spoke steering wheel. Model-specific touches include Cobra badges, a cue ball shifter and "racing stripe" seat trim. Unfortunately, the GT500 features the same abundance of hard, dark plastics as the rest of the Mustang lineup, which feel out of place given the price tag.By : Super Modified Sports Cars
