sharon Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Las Vegas – June 7, 2007 – Executives with Shelby Automobiles™ have announced that the company will transform consumer owned 2007 and 2008 Ford Shelby GT500’s into fire breathing “Super Snake” coupes for only US$27,995.00. Beginning in late summer of 2007, a limited number of GT500 owners can have this post-title package applied to their car at the Shelby Automobiles facility in Las Vegas. “The Ford Shelby GT500 is fast, but hard core enthusiasts asked us for a way make their Shelby a more aggressive, balanced performing track car,” said Carroll Shelby, founder of Shelby Automobiles. “Thanks to our partnership with Ford Racing, our Super Snake package will make their stock Shelby GT500 one of the most balanced, fastest, most fearsome muscle cars in the world. I’m going to hunt Vipers and Corvettes with mine” 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.

When combined with the MSRP of a GT500, this upgrade is far less expensive than the price of any other car with even close to the Super Snake’s power. No one can touch the performance, exclusivity and heritage of this post title Shelby package.” The GT500 Super Snake package, which will be installed at the Shelby factory includes: # Ford Racing Supercharger upgrade kit producing over 600 horsepower and 590 ft.-lbs. of torque; an optional 725 horsepower system is available # 6-speed manual transmission with a Ford Racing short-throw shifter and 3.73:1 rear axle ratio # Borla performance exhaust system for the 600 horsepower version; JBA manifold and back system for the 725 horsepower option # Engine dress up kit including billet aluminum fluid caps and dip stick handle # Ford Racing suspension tuning including dynamic adjustable dampers, lowering springs, tuned stabilizer bars, and front strut tower brace # Exclusive Shelby- Alcoa 20-inch forged wheels with Super Snake center caps # Shelby / Baer 6 piston forged front brakes calipers with cross drilled and vented rotors all around # Front and rear brake cooling ducts # Side scoops, carbon fiber front fascia splitter, mirror covers and rocker panels # Classic Shelby design hood with functional scoops # Super Snake exclusive striping # ‘Shelby’ lettering across the front edge of hood and rear deck lid and 'Super Snake' badges # Center cluster with Carroll Shelby signature gauges for boost, fuel pressure and oil pressure # Shelby embroidered headrests, Super Snake door sill plates, aluminum map light accent, floor mats and other exclusive components # Official Shelby CSM dash plate Though the complete Super Snake package will be available exclusively through Shelby Automobiles, many of the products comprising the package will also be available from Shelby Automobiles and Ford Racing beginning in late June 2007.

SteedPub Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Guys, I don't know where that black car came from, its not ours. The only one we have is the red one. If you look closely, the hood does even matchThe side stripe will have Gt500 and Super snake like in the red car picture, we are still working on the sizing and layout, but its close Amy Amy, I represent the publisher of the story linked at the beginning of this thread. On Thursday the 7th of June , we received the press release from the gentleman at the PR firm TimePiece. We then requested additional photography and the photo of the black and silver car is what they sent to us.

The tranny that Ford put in the GT500 is up to the task and a great tranny to boot. FWIW, I heard the Ford Racing Short-Throw is great! The whole rear-end (with 3.73s), on the other hand, will be swapped out. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This black Super Snake photo throws me back into complete indecision. I'm waiting for more details to be released. However, if they keep posting photos like this, it's not going to be fair. Damn that looks good. How am I going to break it to my kids they are no longer going to a four year college, but rather a two year school now!

Black Sunshine Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 If you look close at the black SS photo, it looks like the hood pins are the classic ones with the cables, not the screw down type that they should be. Also, I agree that "GT500 Super Snake" on the stripes looks and sounds better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I agree that "GT500 Super Snake" on the stripes looks and sounds better. According to Amy (SAI), from one of her posts, the black SS picture was NOT released by SAI. She advised the hood would have the push and turn hood pins, just like the original KR hoods. She also indicated the hood is not correct in the picture. Apparently the red photo is the one released by SAI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the red photo is the one released by SAI. The only SS in exsistence is red with flat black/dark grey vinyl stripes, dark tinted windows, blacked out headlights, and blacked out tail lights. It has cable type hood pins. The production car may have the push and turn pins, but the prototype does not. The car will have a complete new rear end, not just a new ring and pinion. It will not have a new transmission. The short throw shifter will be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispy, I love the SS pkg on a GT500 even @ 28k but does it make any sense to add the SS pkg to the KR is the KR already have suspension work, 550hp, Kevlar hood, gears, shifter, interior upgrades & other goodies? As the KR has bunches of the good stuff already that SAI would be installing, shouldn't the KR get a big break on pricing for the SS pkg?.....shoyoright.....

crispy23c Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Will the KR SS keep it's Top stripes or will they also be replaced with the SS Top Stripes? Logic would dictate that the SS stripes would replace the KR Rally stripes because the SS is a step above the KR, but I know of nothing official on that...

If you look closely, the hood does even matchThe side stripe will have Gt500 and Super snake like in the red car picture, we are still working on the sizing and layout, but its close Amy Amy, Why have Super Snake in the side rocker stripe and, only 10 inches above that location, have it spelled out again in the cobra emblem. It looks Detroit cheesy. I know, I'm from Ann Arbor. I've lived in Cali now for 16 years and can tell the difference between feathered hair with tapered jeans versus what's in style today. Putting Super Snake in the side rocker stripe is feathered hair and tapered jeans. Just leave it in the cobra emblem. That's tasteful, elegant and a mature look. Besides, the triple stripe tells the story. Leave the GT500 side rocker stripe just the way it is today which is the same way the 67 looked. Second, please don't leave the rear side windows blacked out. Either put a functional side scoop or leave it the way it is now. I beg you...please don't cheese up the Super Snake.
