John Allen Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 It's been awhile since I had a daily driver Shelby and I've got the itch for one again. Last one was a 2011 GT 500 but I really think I'd like a Super Snake. Has anyone here drove a Super Snake (or know someone) as a daily driver. I'm not worried about fuel economy, but are they set up for rigors of city traffic? I'm talking '07 thru --12s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helge Ruchelski Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I drive mine everyday...except when its raining. I also have a GT-H which has become a garage queen because it doesn't come close to the driving experience I get from my Snake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Sak Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I've put about 15k miles on the 12 since the conversion. I have had no issues with that car, stop and go traffic out west with the AC on....no problem at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real_supersnake Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I've got 40K miles on my '13 SS. It's not necessarily a daily, but I take it on long trips and track it about once a month on average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you looing for a 2007-2010 when the HP was/is limited to the entry level? or a 2011-up when all HP options were available for the Super Snake converts.? Originally the entry level was 605, then it went to 630 and now I believe it is 660 for a 2007-2010 convert. 2011-up can go all the way to 800 or 850 as an option.

R I'm not as interested in power as I am in a clean low miles well cared for car. There are currently 2 Vert SS on EBay which I have talked with both owners. I'm no hurry and when the rite car comes around, the deal will be made. How do I know what the rite car is?...........well I guess I won't know till it shows up.

I'm not worried about fuel economy, but are they set up for rigors of city traffic? I'm talking '07 thru --12s There was a guy here on Team Shelby from Colorado Springs, CO that had a 2012 upfitted to a Super Snake and drove it daily...Rain, sleet or snow, it didn't matter. I can't remember his screen name but I'm thinking it was "Blackout". His real name is MK (Mike) Suckach if you want to search him out. He's still here in The Springs as far as I know but did sell his Super Snake after having wayyyy too many problems with the build parts falling off and/or breaking. None of it due to him driving the car in bad weather but from a really poor quality of the build (and some other issues with hidden damage apparently done at/by SA). I could probably find him on Facebook if you really want to talk with him as his wife is a friend of one of my friends on FB. Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
