Shelby American Announces 50th Anniversary Super Snake

[cycleguy55]

Just announced at Barrett-Jackson:

To commemorate the anniversary of the legendary Shelby Super Snake, only 500 of the 2017 models will be built with a new lower MSRP beginning at just $69,995, and that is including the base Ford Mustang GT. Let me repeat that. A supercharged 670hp Shelby Super Snake with big brakes, exclusive wheels, body and graphics enhancements, and of course the Shelby heritage with serialization and inclusion in the Shelby registry for just $69,995!

Collaborating with partners like Ford Performance, Borla, Michelin and Wilwood allowed Shelby American to create an even more focused car than the previous Super Snake models. The new Super Snake is an exercise in subtle details and features many first-to-market products. Working with Ford Performance, Shelby American sharpened the handling of the independent suspension and then upgraded the brakes with massive calipers and rotors. Under the hood, the Super Snake combines Ford’s iconic 5.0 V8 engine with forced induction for 670 horsepower; optional superchargers can pump out over 750 horsepower. The result is a well-engineered car with stunning capabilities. On pump gasoline and Michelin street legal tires, a properly optioned Super Snake can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, blaze through the quarter mile in only 10.9 seconds and deliver an amazing 1.2g on the skip pad.

The Super Snake 50th Anniversary package is $36,795 not including the Ford Mustang GT, making a complete car about $69,995. The Super Snake is being offered in all Ford factory colors and can be ordered with a manual or automatic transmission. The car is covered by Shelby’s limited three year, 36,000-mile limited powertrain warranty. Shelby American will build the Super Snake at its assembly facility in Las Vegas and at Shelby American global mod-shops, a first for any modern Super Snake package. Of course an extensive list of options is available, including larger superchargers capable of over 750hp, to make your Super Snake a one-of-a-kind vehicle.
