2011 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake

Shelby American is bringing pure, unadulterated power to the already exquisite 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 (2010 model year pictured) with their new Super Snake package, but before you get all excited you better wait and hear a little about the price you’ll have to pay for this sort of Shelby power and exclusivity. The Super Snake package will only be available to 1,000 customers, and at a price of $30,245. Don; think the price is all that bad? Then you probably think it also includes the car; you’d be wrong.

We aren’t going to lie. If we had the kind of money it would take to add dynamic adjustable dampers, lowering springs, tuned stabilizer bars, and front strut tower brace, as well as some crazy horsepower, we would spend it in a second. Unfortunately we don’t, so we’ll have to leave the three different stages of engine upgrades to the folks who will be driving one of our dream cars. In stage one the engine will get a Shelby/Ford Racing supercharger that will allow the engine to produce a total of 660 HP. Opt for stage two and you’ll get a Shelby/Ford Racing or Shelby/Kenne Bell supercharger kit producing 750 HP and, stage three gets a Shelby/Kenne Bell that increases the output to 800 HP.

For the exterior the package adds a unique fiberglass hood featuring classic Shelby design and pins, Shelby signature Super Snake stripes in either matte black or matte white, and “Shelby” lettering across the rear deck lid. The interior gets a two tone leather interior and Shelby signature embroidered headrests, floor mats, and other Shelby designed components.
