After the lackluster cobras of old this would seem to be a big step for Ford as a performance brand. Shelby has taken a light aproach to tuning Mustangs until now. The new Shelby Super Snake appears to be aimed at the ever famous Dodge Challenger Hellcat featuring 707 horsepower. Shelby has one-upped Dodge in horsepower and weight. The Super Snake is based of a 2015 Mustang GT and will cost $49,995 over the original cost of the Mustang GT (currently $32,300). The modifications are as follows: a Whipple or Kenne Bell supercharger, a short-throw shifter, a 3.73:1 rear axle ratio and Ford Performance suspension. You will also find staggered-width 20 inch Weld Racing Wheels covered in Michelin tires, Wilwood six piston fron brakes and a Ford Racing Borla exhaust with Shelby tips. The kit boosts the stock 650 horsepower of the Coyote 5.0. With these upgrades, Shelby says it will be the most road and track capable Mustang ever built. If you want to get your hands on one of these then you'll have to act quick as there are only 300 going into production for the 2015 model year. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //Sources // /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 1. http://blog.caranddriver.com/ford-mustang-gt-shelby-super-snake-announced-with-750-hp/ 2. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20150616006118/en/Shelby-Super-Snake-Returns-750-Horsepower-Muscle#.VYEM6vlVhBc 3. http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1098749_2015-ford-shelby-super-snake-slithers-forth-with-over-750-horsepower
