And no, you can't order it from your dealer. According to the Team Shelby forum, over half of the Super Snakes are already bought and they're going fast. You order them through Shelby. The current estimate for completion is 18 months.

Good points.
I think these cars are going to be mainly for collectors. Who knows how many we will even see on the streets.
I would bet that a stock Viper and stock ZO6 would spank the Super Snake (even in 700hp form) in most categories - especially on a road course. The Mustangs are simply too heavy. And just think what kind of car you would have (in power & performance) if you put $12,000-$15,000 dollars into a ZO6. -Talk about "king of the road".
And what's the deal with the 18 month wait??? Plus, if that's calculated in "Shelby time", that may be more like 2 years! Seems like an awfully long time to wait for the amount of work they're doing to the car.
