Vehicle Description
By now, there's really no need for a Carroll Shelby history lesson.
We're all very familiar with Shelby's contributions to the
automotive world, especially regarding the legendary Mustang.
Shel's pony cars have always been great to look at and even better
to drive, giving examples like this tailored Super Snake virtually
universal appeal. Featuring 850 horsepower and a $124K build cost,
this Ford is a killer street slayer that's wrapped in taut leather
and dressed in cool wide body aesthetics. And if you're looking for
a future collectable that can double as a genuinely fun weekend
warrior? It's just your style!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Stretching glossy Black 2-stage between Sterling racing stripes, a
sculpted profile and official Shelby call-outs, this sinister
Mustang has obviously seen meticulous care since new. As you can
tell from our high-resolution photography, the car's body is in
excellent condition. That body's shiny, wet-look panels are
straight and solid thanks to no history of accidents or damage of
any kind. And a close look down this Ford's muscular fuselage
reveals hand-tailored finishing that's considered world-class by
any standard.
Like most Shelby bolt-ons, the firm's Wide Body Kit is meant to
turn Ford's definition of good into the enthusiast's definition of
great. At the front of this mean mare, an aggressive GT500 fascia
centers gridded grilles between HID headlamps, halogen fog lamps
and a carbon fiber Super Snake splitter. At the top of that grille,
a buff Super Snake hood leads painted mirrors, which reflect tinted
glass and Super Snake quarter window covers. At the sides of that
hood, 3-inch widened fenders hang billet Shelby emblems above
remodeled, color-keyed rockers. At the back of those rockers,
6-inch widened quarters host a short antenna opposite a billet
Shelby fuel filler. And at the back of the car, a small wing shades
bold trunk lettering, a faux fuel filler, factory Ford taillights
and polished Shelby exhaust tips.
ENGINE
When the 2013 Super Snake debuted, many automotive publications
literally asked the question: "Is 850 horsepower too much?" And, in
typical Shelby fashion, the answer was "We also have a 1,000
horsepower option." Using a 5.8 liter version of Ford's legendary
DOHC 'mod motor', this incredible Super Snake utilizes a 3.6 liter
Kenne Bell supercharger to crank out an astonishing 850 horsepower.
That polished, twin-screw blower makes great use of a Kenne Bell
cold air induction system, which marries a polished tube with a
reusable filter element. Bright Ford Blue cam covers anchor dynamic
SVT coil covers behind Shelby's trick caps and sticks. A standard
Shelby Performance Cooling Package incorporates a lightweight
radiator and efficient heat exchanger beneath aluminum coolant
reservoirs. As expected, this coupe proudly displays both a small
SVT badge and subtle Shelby American plaque, which boasts its
exclusive positioning in both automobilia and the broad Mustang
family. Aesthetically, the spotless mill features a typical
OEM-level appearance that displays hardly any signs of usage. And
one twist the eager engine's key puts you one stomp away from
neck-snapping take-off and break-neck speed!
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
As most performance car fans already know, this Mustang's
Shelby-tuned chassis is nothing short of excellent. And with a few
optional bolt-ons, it sticks to the corners like the high-speed
luge winner at the 2014 Winter Olympics. The firm's upgrades began
with a Shelby/Ford Racing/Eibach suspension that straightens the
curves, progressed to Shelby/Wilwood brakes that scrub big speed,
and ended with forged Shelby alloys that keep power to the ground.
Behind the smooth engine, a slick-shifting Tremec TR6060 6-speed
sends power to Shelby 3.73 gears and a Ford limited-slip
differential. At the corners of the car, the aforementioned
Wilwoods squeeze giant drilled and slotted rotors behind standard
Shelby ducts. Turns come courtesy of Ford's super-efficient
power-assisted steering. Exhaust flows through large-diameter pipes
to throaty Borla mufflers and oval Shelby tips. Naturally, Ford's
standard ABS and AdvanceTrac traction control systems are present
and accounted for. And all this first-class speed and agility rides
on the aforementioned Shelby alloys, which spin 275/35ZR20 Michelin
Pilot Super Sports in front of 345/30ZR20 Michelin Pilot Super
Sports.
INTERIOR
Inside this 'stang, Shelby-branded seats, which feature power
adjustment for the car's driver, ride opposite a leather-wrapped
steering wheel that's equipped with Cruise Control and redundant
audio buttons. The dash is a familiar Mustang layout, which hangs
satin-trimmed telemetry beneath integrated Auto Meter A-pillar
gauges. Below those vitals, a crisp Shaker stereo combines SYNC
infotainment with standard navigation. Below those electronics, a
small Shelby plaque leads an impressive console that's detailed
with a dressed Shelby short-throw shifter. Beneath that console,
rich carpet floats Shelby-branded floor mats between metal foot
pedals and lighted Super Snake sills. And naturally, all the
luxuries you'd expect in a modern Ford are ready and waiting,
including power windows, power door locks, air conditioning,
anti-theft and Remote Keyless Entry.
