meckonica@bellsouth.net Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Well Chris; It has always been this - American muscle cars are quick, European Supersport cars are FAST. In a nutshell american cars normally will beat the european cars 0-60 and mabey in the qtr mile, but in the real test on the track / autobahn the europeans will triumph.

Greetings from germany Chris Chris This is from elsewhere on the forum: SHELBY AUTOS AND FORD RACING TO BUILD 600-725+ HP STREET LEGAL SHELBY GT500 “SUPER SNAKES” ON PUMP GAS!! Las Vegas – April 27, 2007 – 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 and 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.

Greetings from germany Chris The SS is truly the epitome of a classic Amercian muscle car but muscle cars do not compare well to the super cas. They have tons of power but generally won't handle as well. They aren't meant to. They are marketed to a different niche. The Ford GT or another American sports car that shall not be named on this site (it begins with a C :angry: ) would do well against any European car in the same price range. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_GT The Ford GT's predecessor, the GT40 "was a sports car and winner of the 24 hours of Le Mans four times in a row, from 1966 to 1969. It was built to win long-distance sports car races against Ferrari (who won at Le Mans six times in a row from 1960 to 1965)."
