New Shelby Ford Mustang being unveiled on 1-19-2017 at B-J Scottsdale

[ilmor]

Couldn't agree more, I'm liking the 2018 changes, I would wait it out for sure based on what I'm seeing.

 

Then again it will probably take Shelby a year or 2 to make a 2018 model.

 

I agree; I think its an improvement. Anxious to see the new road test results.

" Looks like the GT350 splitter."

 

Looks like a hybrid. Center piece of the GT350 shoved under the non GT splitter? I do like it though. Sometimes the carbon fiber gets to be a bit much.

I'm actually impressed the Shelby American has been able to keep this car pretty much under wraps besides a few teasers. Looks like no info until the actual release, unlike past unveilings.

TODAY IS THE BIG DAY.

Can this be streamed on a phone?

Can this be streamed on a phone?

I remember some folks streamed the GTE unveil in Indy on Facebook live. I am sure someone will be streaming this one. At least I hope they are.

[Jimmy Sak]

I had read somewhere that FMC/Shelby may be using a aftermarket supplier closer to home(Michigan), somewhat like back in yesteryear's. Could the S550 Super Snake be going the way of the Shelby F150...as in not being modified in vegas?

[William Rodgers]

That would be a Huge mistake IMO Jimmy Sak, I really hope that's not the case.

You'll miss it by an hour, Scottsdale is Mountain time, not Pacific.

you mean it's not happening for central time? Ah man, that sucks, I was hoping to catch it shortly after noon (I'm hoping they're running a little late).

Is BJ going to show the reveal live?

[mcate]

They're going to have it Live on the Shelby American Facebook page too.

Could be worse, you could be in HST or AST

Whew! They must have been eluding to the use of Ford Racing parts in the builds.

[mcate]

They just announced it. Next Generation Super Snake!

[39Mustang]

And i was exactly correct last week when I said 50th Annv. Super Snake

Good for you. You must be proud.

[EL SHELBY]

I like it, I like it a lot. Well done SA!

[39Mustang]

Why the sarcasm

[EL SHELBY]

Because I'm frequently a smart ass.

[ViperNC]

Good looking car. Wonder how it handles compared to the GT350?

[SAI-Steven]

Good looking car. Wonder how it handles compared to the GT350?

From the press release:

 

On pump gasoline and Michelin street legal tires, a properly optioned Super Snake can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, blaze through the quarter mile in only 10.9 seconds and deliver an amazing 1.2g on the skip pad.

 

And if I recall correctly this is the first time SAI has put out performance numbers on one of our post title builds.

[sheppd01]

Awesome job SA. I love the price.

 

Fingers crossed for a 50th KR.

[ShelbyEra08]

i like the car, especially the white and blue one, but i am thrown off about the hashtag of #ALegendIsReborn how is the car reborn if there is already a 2017 SuperSnake?

Looks like the GT350 splitter.

That doesn't look like Deep Impact Blue?? Maybe lighting???
