2017 Ford Mustang Shelby Supersnake 750hp - 50th anniversary amazing performance
Ford just showed us his upcoming 2018 refreshed for the sixth generation Mustang, but Shelby American is not done with the 2017 model just yet. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Carroll Shelby's original high-performance super snake, which was released in 1967, Shelby American has revived the name for a new version that can claim to make the quarter-mile in less than 11 seconds ,
Following the release of the Mustang GTE last year, Shelby and Ford Performance presented a new striped variant of the American muscle car at the Ford exposition at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction on the weekend of January 21st. Based on Shelby's performance claims, the Super Snake can outdo the Mustang Shelby GT350R in almost every respect and remains both road and track legal.
The Super Snake, which is available with an automatic or manual transmission, starts as a Mustang GT with its 5.0-liter V-8, but a compressor and tuning kick it up to a claimed 670 hp. Pay extra for a Whipple or Kenne Bell compressor, and Shelby claims that the engine will produce up to 750 hp.
This is the model Shelby uses to determine his performance requirements. With an automatic transmission, a normal tank truck and a Michelin road tire (unspecified), the super-snake with the optional compressor can travel from zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, Shelby claims 1.2 g on the skidpad. In our tests, the GT350R in 3.9 seconds zero to 60 mph, ran the quarter mile in 12.5 seconds and pulled 1.10 grams on the skidpad.
Shelby also improved a number of other features on the Mustang. The Super Snake has new dampers, anti-roll bars, springs and bushes. It also has black or polished 20-inch forged aluminum wheels, six-piston Wilwood brake calipers in the front and four-piston brake calipers in the rear, and upgrade cooling for the brakes and engine. On the outside, the Super Snake has a new hood, front splitter, grille, rocker arm, rear spoiler, rear panel, rear diffuser and lower rear splitter. Shelby also added LED lights, and, obviously, striping on the top and sides with Shelby's Super Snake branding.
Some optional features beyond the charger include a one-piece drive shaft, an even more powerful cooling package, Ford Performance halfwaves, a shortwave shifter, 3:73 gearbox, Shelby Coil-Overs, a suspension bracket for jogging, wheel bolts. The package without these extras costs $ 36,795. Adding the cost of the Mustang GT brings the total price to $ 70,895. If you want the upgrade to 750 hp, Shelby charges $ 6500 for it. Only 500 Super Snake cars are built.
