Mr. Haney Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 1sgt, The car looks fantastic When did Shelby America stop installing the hood pins on the Super Snake cars? Is this new with the 13-14 Super Snakes? Has a major reinforcement of the fiberglass in the hood latch area and underside bracing been made to the newest generation of the Super Snake hoods? I would assume this is carrying over to the hoods sold through the Shelby America Performance Parts Center, can you elaborate on this also? If all this has been done, then I would assume that Shelby America is not worried about the hood latch bar being ripped from the fiberglass at high speeds and blowing the hood up over the windshield and causing an accident. Can somebody from Shelby America also address these questions. I'm sorry to steal your thunder and thread 1sgt, but the pictures of your beautiful car brought these questions to my mind when I noticed that it didn't have hood pins.

1sgt Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I didn't want the hood pins I didn't like the look of them . Maybe if I did the 800 +hp I would have done it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you made a good choice. The lack of pins really cleans up the nose. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05mustangman Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Man your car is gorgeous! Great color combo. I too decided not to have the hood pins on my SS hood. I've had the car well over 100mph and the hood doesn't move at all. And your car looks so clean without the hood pins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1sgt Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I'm think I need to do something with the ARM REST it's boring ? I see Designer Auto acc has some great console covers ?? I'm going to have to think about that ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to have to think about that ?? Shelby used to offer a really nice carbon fiber armrest. It wasn't all CF but the rear part was and the front part had the cobra on it. Or reverse of that. No more? Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMAv Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Very nice looking car!!!! Contact Gary Disney about an armrest. He can get or has just about any type of interior part it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford Fest Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 But you've glossed over the best part. The package on a Super Snake does not depreciate nearly at all. In other words, you buy a GT500 for $X and add all the goodies. Even if the car itself depreciates, the package does not - A used Super Snake sells for approximately $20-$25K more than its stock brother. Whereas, if you just ADD all the same parts to your stock GT500 you've pretty much flushed that money down the drain, plus you're really NOT a Shelby American product. The CSM number has real, undisputed value in the car market, the rest is just subjective. You either like it, or you don't. Here is a perfect example why you buy a real Super Snake instead of trying to make your own version. Why would anyone pay the asking price for this clone? Money wasted IMO http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Mustang-Shelby-GT500-Coupe-2-Door-2009-shelby-gt-500-super-snake-clone-800-hp-kenne-bell-/321198907285?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item4ac8f25f95&vxp=mtr#ht_1608wt_1064 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05mustangman Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 While the asking price of that is pretty high, a lot of people can't afford to do a Supersnake package and put out 30k at once. I think it's a gorgeous car and at least he is not actually trying to sell it as a Supersnake. Like my car, it is just about the same as what the Supersnakes have minus the upgraded supercharger and interior. No way I could have put out 30k for an SS package. Been working on it for four years. One thing I find interesting about his ad is he says he has 15" rotors. I didn't know the Shelby/Baer systems came in 15". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
