The Model: In 2006, Shelby American teamed up with Ford and
announced that they were getting ready to release the ultimate in
performance at the street legal level with their new 600 HP "King
of the Road". It would remain at the top of the heap, for a while,
a very short while, for within a month Shelby and his team
announced they had something even more powerful waiting on-deck.
Reviving a name that had been applied to only a couple of his
original Cobra's, the Super Snake was reborn. At first, both Shelby
and his partner in speed, Ford Motor Company, were keeping
specifications close to the vest. However, when they came out,
there was a lot of interest in these cars, especially when it was
announced that the "to-the-wheels" HP dyno out at an amazing 725
horses. This car was not built to go pick the kids up at soccer
practice, in fact it really wasn't built to do anything close to
normal driving chores. It was built for flat-out performance and
believe it or not, it was 100% emissions compliant! While the
original Cobra was powered by twin-superchargers and was considered
too hot to handle by any but the most experienced the driver, the
2007 Mustang based "SS" is considerably more user-friendly, but
still should not be operated by the faint-of-heart.
The Car: This stunning example of the rebirth of Super Snake has
been extremely well cared for. Showing just under 6,200 miles at
the time of catalog, this pony-car on steroids has all the power
amenities and looks it was born with. Finished in Vista Blue with
the full stripe kit, it also has the unique Super Snake hood, side
scoops and rear deck spoiler. The lower body effects and outside
mirrors are both of carbon-fiber construction. Riding on its 19"
Super Snake chrome wheels, it is still equipped with its original
tires which isn't uncommon considering the low miles showing on the
odometer. Creature comforts, something lacking in Shelby's original
Cobra, include an 8-speaker sound system, full climate control,
plush leather racing seats emblazoned with the Cobra logo while the
headrest make it clear, you are riding in a Super Snake. One other
very special point of interest with this car. In addition to all of
the factory plaques denoting the heritage of this car, on the
dashboard and large script is the actual signature of the man
responsible for this and thousands of other high-performance
vehicles, Carroll Shelby. A fitting tribute to a man who when asked
what his favorite cars, always responded with "The next one!" Make
this Super Snake your next one.
