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). Only a limited number of Super Snakes will be built per model year at the Shelby Automobiles facility in Las Vegas beginning in late 2007.
“My team at Shelby Automobiles is always working on new ways to build better performing cars” said Carroll Shelby. “I told them that I wanted to build a vehicle that could blow the doors off of most anything on the planet. By partnering with Ford Racing, we’re giving enthusiasts a Mustang with that level of performance.”
Working together at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and in Dearborn, Ford Racing and Team Shelby developed the aggressive suspension and engine package specifically for the car.
“Mustang enthusiasts are demanding more from both Ford Racing and Shelby Autos” said Jamie Allison, Manager of Ford Racing Performance Group. “The GT500 Super Snake package, with its higher horsepower levels and balanced track-inspired tuning, satisfies those demands and then some … in a uniquely Ford – Shelby way.”
In 1967, Shelby American built one 427-powered GT500 “Super Snake” for Mel Burns Ford. Carroll Shelby drove it at the Goodyear test track for tire promotion film production. That car reached lap speeds of over 150 mph and a top speed of 170 mph. The new Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake will be equally potent.
“The name ‘Super Snake’ is legendary because the one that Shelby built was the pinnacle of muscle cars in 1967,” added Amy Boylan, president of Shelby Automobiles. “We’re bringing that concept forward 40 years for customers who own a Ford Shelby GT500. We’ll give their car amazing new capabilities.”
Ford Racing and Team Shelby developed the GT500 Super Snake package which will include:
- Ford Racing Supercharger upgrade kit (SuperPack 600) producing over 600 horsepower and 590 ft.-lbs. of torque
- 6-speed manual transmission with 3.73:1 rear axle ratio
- Ford Racing performance exhaust system
- Ford Racing Handling Pack offering unique performance suspension tuning including Dynamic adjustable dampers, lowering springs, tuned stabilizer bars, and front strut tower brace
- Shelby-designed Alcoa 20-inch wheels
- Ford Racing short-throw shifter
- Baer 6 piston brakes with Shelby cast calipers and larger rotors
- Front brake cooling ducts
- Unique carbon composite hood featuring classic Shelby design
- ‘Shelby’ lettering across the front edge of hood and rear decklid
- ‘Super Snake’ vehicle badging
- Carroll Shelby signature embroidered headrests, floor mats and other Shelby designed components
- Official Shelby CSM dash plate
In addition, while the full Super Snake package will be available exclusively through Shelby Automobiles, many of the products comprising the Super Snake package will be available from Shelby Automobiles and Ford Racing starting in June.

After much speculation over the past month about the price of the ‘Super Snake’ package, Amy Boylan, president of Shelby Automobiles Inc. confirmed the price of $27,995 for the Shelby ‘Super Snake’ package over at StangsUnleased forums. She went on to say the price is expensive because of all the parts included and the retooling that has to take place to produce these cars. She also posted a more detailed list of all the parts that will be included in the package which can be seen after the jump.
So for a breakdown of what it will cost to get into one of these, MSRP for Shelby GT500 coupe $44K (est) + ‘Super Snake’ Package of $27,995 = $72K or so.

PERFEKT! Das isser! Den in blau und nen Lottogewinn und ich bin für immer glücklich. 
Die Haube ist perfekt. Vielleicht kann man ja die Habe und die Front nachrüsten. Hab da bei Dr.Mustang schonmal so einen Umbau gesehen.
Allerdings bezweifle ich, dass man die schwarzen Lichter durch die MFK bekommen würde.

Und was ist eigentlich der Unterschied zwischen dem GT-500 und dem Super Snake? Der Name?

Ja das habe ich schon gesehen, aber ich mein...also wegen dem würd' ich mir doch nie den Wagen zu legen?!TomiTomi hat geschrieben:Sven, du bist nie zufrieden.Svenhubi hat geschrieben:Aber, also ich finde das ein wenig "billig" "nur" den Motor "zu verstärken"?! Nicht?!
Ausserdem ist der Wagen ja als Speerspitze aller Shelbys schon was ganz Besonderes. Ich würd ihn nehmen, weil er einzigartig ist und die Front und die Haube perfekt sind.
Die 600+ PS brauch ich nicht, aber die Shelby GT-500 Front gefällt mir einfach extrem gut und diese Haube passt da noch besser zu, als die originale vom normalen GT-500. Ist einfach nen optisches Ding.
