When we tested the 750 horsepower 2010 Shelby GT500 Super Snake (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/08/first-drive-2010-shelby-super-snake-as-good-as-a-ford-mustang-g/), our man Jonathon Ramsey declared it the "new king" of Mustangs. Surprisingly, he found that the suspension was able to – barely – keep up with the engine, but we figured that the Super Snake had just about all the power a street-driven Mustang could handle. We thought wrong, at least according to Shelby.

Ol' Carroll has upped the ante in the horsepower wars once again by offering up to 800 horsepower in the newly-released 2011 version of the Super Snake. Of course, there are more sane options including 660 horsepower and 750 horsepower variants, but the 800 horsepower version will undoubtedly be the must-have for the guy (or girl) who needs the biggest and baddest 'Stang on the block. Also new for 2011 are the optional anthracite wheels, white stripes and new side scoops. The Super Snake package starts at $30,245 (just $250 less than the cost of a brand new 2011 Mustang GT) and can be built at Shelby's Las Vegas facility or at any of their official Mod Shops around the country. Hit the jump for complete specs for the 2011 Super Snake package and more details.

Shelby American, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc. (CSBI:PK), will offer a Super Snake post title package for the 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 with new styling cues and an optional 800 horsepower tuned engine. Only 1,000 total Super Snake packages for the 2011 model year car will be built at the Shelby American facility in Las Vegas or one of the official Shelby Mod Shops, beginning in September of this year.

"Ford Motor Company did a marvelous job making the 2011 model year GT500 lighter and more powerful," said John Luft, president of Shelby American. "Our team applied its experience building Super Snakes over the past several years to offer a package that dramatically increases the new car's capabilities. And with the visual changes we've made, it will be a definite stand out on the road or track."

Just like the 2011 Shelby GT350, born on the proving grounds of the drag strip and road course at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Shelby American worked with companies like Ford Racing to create an even more aggressive suspension and engine package for the 2011 Super Snake.

"We extensively tested our mods for the 2011 model car before we decided the package was ready for the public," added Gary Davis, vice president of production and R&D at Shelby American. "For those who want more performance than the stock GT500 offers, the Super Snake will definitely meet their expectations."

For the 2011 model year, more power, a new anthracite wheel, white stripes and new side scoops are optional.

"We've only offered black stripes and chrome wheels on the Super Snake since we introduced the package a couple of years ago," added Davis. "With the serious advancements made to the 2011 model year, it was time to differentiate it from the previous generation car. So we added an 800 horsepower tune, optional wheel, side scoop and stripes to make it easy to spot the new Shelby Super Snake."

The 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake post title package includes:

• Ford Racing handling pack including dynamic adjustable dampers, lowering springs, tuned stabilizer bars, and front strut tower brace
• 6-speed manual transmission with 3.73:1 rear axle ratio
• Shelby/Ford Racing supercharger upgrade producing over 660 HP and 590 ft.-lbs. of torque
• Either a Shelby/Ford Racing or Shelby/Kenne Bell supercharger kit producing 750 HP with upgraded drive shaft, billet twin 75mm throttle body and exclusive badges
• Optional Shelby/Kenne Bell 800 horsepower tune on pump gas
• Borla exhaust system
• An optional Shelby / Eibach handling pack is also available
• Shelby-designed Alcoa 20-inch wheels in durabright or anthracite
• Short-throw shifter
• Forged Shelby / Baer brakes with 6 piston calipers and cross drilled / vented rotors
• Front brake cooling ducts and behind the door side scoops
• Unique fiberglass hood featuring classic Shelby design and pins
• Shelby signature Super Snake stripes in either matte black or matte white
• "Shelby" lettering across the rear deck lid
• "Super Snake" vehicle badges and official Shelby CSM interior plate
• Optional two tone leather interior
• Shelby signature embroidered headrests, floor mats and other Shelby designed components

Rumormill: 2013 Shelby GT500 to boast over 600 horsepower



http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/03/shelby-gt500.jpg (http://www.caranddriver.com/news/car/11q1/2013_ford_mustang_shelby_gt500_to_have_camaro_zl1_ slapping_600-plus_horsepower-future_cars)

The golden age of horsepower ended a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, right? Well, no. In reality, it seems that every new model year brings more and more ponies from the likes of the reborn Chevrolet Camaro (http://autoblog.com/model/camaro) and Dodge Challenger (http://autoblog.com/model/challenger) along with the stalwart Ford Mustang (http://autoblog.com/model/mustang).

According to the internet rumormill, that pattern isn't going to change any time soon. Car and Driver reports that the 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (http://www.autoblog.com/model/shelby+gt500) will boast as much as 620 horsepower. Naturally, the powerplant providing all those ponies will be a supercharged V8, in this case bored out to displace 5.8 liters instead of the 5.4 we've been seeing for the last several years.

Car and Driver's math tells us, assuming the power and weight estimates are in the ballpark, to expect a scorching 12.0-second quarter mile time from the 2013 GT500, a top speed that could be as high as 190 miles per hour and a sticker price of roughly $60,000.

For what it's worth, Chevrolet is estimating (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/09/2012-chevrolet-camaro-zl1-chicago-2011/) that the supercharged and intercooled 6.2-liter LSA V8 engine that will power its Camaro ZL1 (http://autoblog.com/tag/zl1) – the top run (so far) of Chevy's muscle car lineup – will put out around 550 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque. Naturally, that's all subject to change...

To the Camaro fanboys... It is not physically plausible for there to ever possibly be a better Mustang then a Camaro. Fact.
To the rest of the world... Ford has been kicking the shit out of GM for the past decade. (in the truck and muscle car wars specifically)

Completely agreed.

Trying to explain this to my coworkers who are obsessed with the nasty Gold Bowtie is like talking to a wall.

My one coworker has a 2011 V6 Mustang. Looks great.

The other coworker has a 2010 V8 Camaro, fully optioned out, yadda yadda.

The bowtie boy is afraid to race the guy with the Mustang.

I give him shit regularly for it. LMAO

10 years ago I had the newest Camaro SS, and the newest SVT Cobra available in the garage.

I don't know if that statement hold up.

It all depends on what you value out of a car. The Camaro whooped the shit out of the SVT at KCIR. I would run them both back to back and could never get the SVT to match the times the SS would put down.

Then start modding, and the Camaro got even stronger. They were modded identically all the way down to the nitrous jetting, and the Camaro dipped into the 11's/low 120s, and I never got better than 12.0@118 out of that Cobra.

Having said that, I would prefer the Cobra over the fourth gen any day of the week. It just felt better, was an overall driver's car when compared to the rough ride of the SS. Handlng wasn't even close.

To each his own :cheers:

All I can power jokes, Shelby, and svt and boost. Proven bad combos that go boom! There goes another ford disaster in the works! What about the raptor too! I am willing to look at a lingerfelter camaro to a Shelby if we are talking tuner cars! What does ford have for a zr-1??

[Buford]

What are you basing that off of? I live 5 miles from Shelby. I can ask them first hand about their combinations for you... if you'd like?

He's a fuckin retard, pay him no attention :shocked:

[auto_x5.0]

That will be a very quick car if somebody actually buys it and drives it, not put it in a garage and never drive it. But for a 5.4L that's damn good power, it's a smaller motor in all reality, it's just 331ci if I remember correctly. What's the Camaro's motor? I dont think it's 5.4L Im pretty sure it's bigger and always has been. But nobody goes, wow a 5.7L beat a 4.6L Cobra(not 03-04), I'll be damned.

[Buford]

The days of comparing cubic inches is gone. These 281-331ci modular motors are known to make 600-1200rwhp easily with boost

[JS2FST1]

It was the joke when the 3.8's handed the 4.6's their lunch! What was worse was when my cobra r was couldn't even pull a v-6 on the big end. And the dyno didn't lie Ford
Once again overrated their hp.

Wut:lolg: No Cobra R ever had a 4.6 in it :loco: And if you can't outrun a 3.8, maybe it is your driving that is the problem :shocked:

And Ford is notorius for "underrating" most of their engines. The 03-04 Cobras were rated at 390hp at the crank, but in reality they usually made over 400hp to the wheels :shocked:

I never said a r had a 4.6. And since you brought up o3-04 cobras how did those motors hold up? And the lightning motors while you are at it. How many make it to 40,000? And now how many made 50,000 on a stock motor? Almost none! Ask Jw how many motors he has had? Ask around about shelby's and how many of those have blown up. Look the history on all fords they may have a few that meet hp ratings but as whole! It is like their mpg ratings. Look at the supercar attempt. And the headgaskets I remember going to New Orleans the week they were released the first one was in the middle of Ward Rd locked up he tried turning around and locked the motor up test driving it. Then in Mississippi another one had water pouring out of it on the side of the highway. First week released.

i guess you dont read to much. the people that did blow up their motors were doing something wrong. my car has 91k on the stock motor,trans, and irs. not one issue. it is a full bolt ons, pullied, and now nitrous car that is getting driven across the country to my new duty station. i run the absolute shit out of the car because that is what it was built for. on SVTP.com there are a bunch of cars with 100k+ miles that are making 550hp+ i guess its how well you take care of them and how good your tuner is....i will admit that ford didnt plan very well when it came to the motors and the PTW clearance. that is one mistake that has cost people a motor and it just couldnt be helped

You do understand that the numbers that are put out for HP is at the crank, so no shit the numbers aren't the same as on paper. As for MPG, you're not adding in all the other variables, such as wind, load, inclines, etc. There's alot of things that change MPG no matter what your driving.

Dave what are you talking about???

My '99 Cobra 4.6 was bullet proof. Literally a hundred bottles through that thing over three years of ownership spraying a 200 shot and it never had one problem and it dyno'd stronger on day 900 than day 1.

The Lightning motors were not Ford's mistake for the most part. The stock motor sent a couple of plugs out of the head. I think they fixed that in the '01 Lightnings and replaced that one under warranty.

I sprayed the second motor one January morning in '06 when it was negative three degrees out and pegged the MAF sensor and it sprung a slight oil leak out the bottom of the block :)

That is my stupidity. I should have known better, and did know better, but wasn't thinking that morning.......

Now it is on it's third. I've been super careful, not gotten too greedy, and here we are five years and 60K and a hundred plus bottles later.

It dyno's a cunt hair shy of 500/600 to the wheels.

It sure is a piece of shit isn't it.

[JS2FST1]

Yeah but they left the plug on all of their trucks and suv's. And that is wrong!! Screwing their customers. Look at how they pushed the limits of safety on the f-150's. You remember the mystic cobras lighter more hp and got their lunch from lt1's rated at 60 less hp. Everyone started dynoing them and look what happened. Remember the 96 gt's how they did! What 90's mustang or cobra did they lose the fight on (not the cobra r Buyback) but the one where the hp was so far off they installed rocker arms and headers, changed ECM. You came back for intake, and throttle body. And finally you got injectors, cam and better heads. I remember ordering one of those and refuseing it because it was gutless. I told Shawnee mission ford if I could dyno it and it made the power I would accept it. They asked ford and ford said no dyno we cover this car for you till it sells.

1996 SVT Cobra
Horsepower-305 hp @ 5800 rpm
Torque-300 lbs-ft @ 4800 rpm
Transmission-Borg Warner T45 Five speed
Rear gear ratio- 3.27:1
Weight-Coupe- 3391


1996 Z28 Camaro
Horsepower- 285hp @ 5600 rpm (SS 305)
Torque- 325lbs-ft @ 2400 rpm
Transmission- Borg-Warner T-56 Six speed
Rear gear ratio -3.23:1 (3.42:1 SS?)
Weight-Coupe- 3446

Not much lighter, HP difference is only 20 (0 if SS). So, with that killer torque curve the LT1 put out and equal gearing, no wonder they won the stoplight battle every time. The Camaros won that battle more years than not in the '90s.



There was no "Cobra R" buyback.

There was a recall on the 1999 Cobras. New heads and intake were supposed to up HP from 305 in previous models to 320. Crimped exhaust, (due to new IRS), and poor casting quality on the outsourced intakes led to the car not putting out more than previous Cobras when dynoed.
Ford got the shit embarassed out of them, issued a recall and: replaced the intake manifold, swapped the catback exhuast, and reflashed the PCM.

I believe you are mixing your facts and memories. Anyone, if I am incorrect, feel free to correct me.

:yesnod:

My '99 got those recall fixes and put down 297 to the wheels.

I took down the factory catback and took it to Blue Springs Ford for the fix. I ended up with two different catbacks out of the deal :mrgreen:

JS2FST1,

I am truly happy that you hate Ford. Now I will not be embarrassed because I own the same make vehicle as someone as highly dignified as your self.

[JS2FST1]

Cobra r's were bought back first year finish of car was horrible I was glad to see that car leave. Bare metal rusting in rear seat delete the antenna cover huge anything, because of radio delete. You are right I hate 97 and up Fords. But when ford was trying to heist missourians for money to retool their factory. Missouri would not enforce the lemon law on Ford even though they left St. Louis either way. So I was stuck financing Ford on Pos f-550
with 2000 miles on it. I get done paying over 35k cash to get rid of it which cost my company way more 6 digits. And when we get it paid off Missouri slaps us with loaning ford more money to keep claycomo open. I say close their doors, or pay their own bills.

There was a buyback on the 1993 Cobra Rs? As I recall, they were to be sold only for competition use, but many ended up in private collector hands anyway.

In '95, to purchase the Cobra R, you were supposed to have a race competition license to purchase one to ensure the cars were used on the track.

And yes, all variants of the Cobra R were stripped way down, no AC, no radio, no sound deadener, no power this and that, no rear seat...ummm...maybe because they were supposed to be race cars?

I'm not trying to start shit, but what were you expecting from a stripped down, race car? They left a lot to be done to the cutomer/racers discretion. They were never meant to be street cars.

With due respect,
Cobra R's were a one year only product, sold to racers only(racing license required) with special hand built drivetrains. They werent ever bought back. The 1999 Cobras had issues with rated power VS actual power and there was much made of this issue, they replaced the offending parts and Cobra production took a year off while Ford got its shit together.
so 1999 had issues with rated power plug pulled on model year 2000
in 2000 the only Cobras are all R models not availiable to the public
2001 street Cobra production resumes.

By using your logic with regards to the tax incentive, we should burn every Gov't Motors product to the ground. $100M is barely a drop in the bucket compared to $50B and bankruptcy. I am glad you are happy with your GM products though.

hell yeah Lingenfelter... lets get a motor trend style comparison going on these 2

happy pants? hell yeah it does!!

having experienced 750HP(at the tire) street car I know how completely awe inspiring it really is, to me at least, that anyone is willing to warranty that kind of power.

and that it is availiable to anyone with the cash

[Buford]

Do you know how much Shelby charges for the Super Snake? I'd warranty it too if I charged $30k over sticker. Even if 1 out of 5 destroyed a tranny or engine, there is still profit.

It starts at $30,245 over the price of a GT500 ($49k-$55K). I think you looking into the high $80s, near $90k to have the all-out package.

hell yeah Lingenfelter... lets get a motor trend style comparison going on these 2

happy pants? hell yeah it does!!

Ok, let's call Shelby and Lingenfelter and tell them the KCSR car testers need a couple press fleet cars to do a comparison test. Surely they'll go right along with it. LOLOL

and still a bargain compared to a similarly equippped vette!

I would just a buy a GT500, strap the biggest twin screw i could find on it and and put the 30k towards something useful, like hookers and blow. .
