Price on 800 HP SS option

Recommended Posts

I have been unable to find the price for the 800 HP option for the 2011 Supersnake. Can anyone assist or have they published it yet?

 

 

 

Let us know what you find out.

 

My guess is $36K with no other Super Snake options added, rear brake upgrade, cooling system upgrade, etc.

and dont even think about 800hp unless youre gonna do the braking and cooling upgrades...

You need to cool it and stop it. just sayin...

 

 

 

If we are also adding the Baer 6 piston Rear Brake Upgrade for approx. $3-4K and the Shelby Cooling System Upgrade, approx. $2.5K, all installed at the Mod Shop (or other authorized facility) and no other Super Snake options such as Shelby Shifter Upgrade, Billet SS Coil Covers, SS STB, SS interior upgrade, stereo upgrade, etc. then my guess is $41K-$43K. Possibly even $40K-$42K since there will be some credit for the rear Eradispeed delete and the Baer 6P add.

 

Just guessing of course................

You're in the ballpark Robert. With my 2011 and a credit of 1100 for the suspension, I am in the 41-42K range. A hefty price for a lot of fun, but like other things in life, once I get there I won't want to go back, right ??

You will be the happiest camper in the world of Muscle Cars! Once you get in, turn the key to accessory and listen to the electric fuel pump feed the injection rails, then turn the key to start the engine and hear that awesome sound of the blower and exhaust, your thoughts of money spent will be: money well spent!

Hawk,

 

I gotta tell ya, the performance is ungodly. I was scooting around town yesterday on a beautiful fall day and just barely getting on the car in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc., and the torque just transferred to the rear wheels so nicely. You have to be careful, however, because the power transfers so quickly to the wheels, the tendency for the rear to fish tail is always there. The only downfall for this beast is getting the full torque to the wheels without massive tire spinning. The car lacks the proper width of tire for the torque, but that is the only observation I have on this engineering feat. I'm not into racing at the track, etc., so that observation is not of any consequence for my driving environment. I took a long time to break the new components in; 300 miles to be exact. Breaking in the new differential is critical so follow the procedures to the "T" no matter how much urge you have to stomp on the gas pedal.

Thanks Goat, I agree. My friends car was smoooooth!! Traction is an issue, however, and I can see why guys are getting their wheels widened to fit wider tires. A fun problem to have however !! I hear ya on the gear break in. I had a CJ-5 with new 4.56 gears and had to be careful as the ring and pinion seated correctly.

Contacted Wayne at SHM in Woodstock. He advises the 800 HP version is a $1,500.00 option over the 750 HP standard model.

I guess I was right on the money at $36K, give or take a couple hundred dollars since the 750 horse KB is just over $34K.

 

One other thought, and this is just a thought.............."if" the $34,245 price is for a Whipple or Black (standard) KB 2.8 750 horse, and the upcharge for a polished 2.8 KB is still $1300 + or - as it was on the earlier models, a person "could" have a polished KB at the polished 3.6LC 800 horse level for only $200 more................

 

Maybe my math is wrong?

 

With all of this math I am also assuming that the base 750 horse Whipple and KB (in Black) are at the same intro. $34K price level.
