ShelbyEra08 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I think Black and Flat black is the best combo ever I really like the SS, the Yellow Caliber gives it some great pop to the whole car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly the rear brake upgrade was the first option added to the list, but that may have been 6 months or so after this car was built, and now the list of available Super Snake options is much longer.

I agree they sell like "hot cakes", when you mention Shelby in this late model Mustang world, Super Snake is the title that comes to most peoples mind immediately. When I sent my car to L.V. my build was the same way for the 725, the only options I had to pick from was Black (std.) or Polished ($1300 upcharge) KB, Ford Racing (std.) or Eibach ($100 upcharge) suspension and 1/4 window scoops or block-off plates. I think there was also a choice on front caliper color. That was it, no other Super Snake options were available at that time. Every other option you see on the Super Snake option list has been added since that time. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve I had a couple of extras sent to me by Cynthia, just to have a little piece of history related to my Super Snake build. I would guess that most owners received their one order form, filled it out, and sent it back in. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Would a convert even be able to contain the 800HP? I thought that is why the SS convert wasnt allowed the 725HP option because it couldnt handle it due to its missing the support from the roof of the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that is why the SS convert wasnt allowed the 725HP option because it couldnt handle it due to its missing the support from the roof of the car The 2011 convert is 750 HP, but not 800HP for two reasons that I' m aware of. First the 2011 has improved structural rigidity and Ford could not come up with the 650HP tune soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the "build your own Super Snake" link in the 2011/2012 Super Snake information, click convert. and "next" from there, when you get to the S/C options, the 800 horse 3.6LC is there. This was also announced by Roger (I think) a few months ago..................2011 covert. available up to 800 hp. Here is a link to the "build your own".
