In order to enhance the style and performance of the heavily revised 2010 Ford Mustang , Carroll Shelby’s Las Vegas-based Shelby Autos facility has taken the wraps off of a new Super Snake package. Boasting parts from Ford Racing, including a supercharger, the 2010 Super Snake package can produce up to 725 horsepower.
“Since we introduced the Super Snake package for the GT500 in 2007, this Shelby has become the pinnacle of current generation muscle cars,†said Amy Boylan, president of Shelby Automobiles, in a statement released by Shelby. “While the stock GT500 is a fine car, serious enthusiasts know that they can come to us to make their Shelby even better. For those who crave a harder edged Shelby, this is your car.â€
Beginning next month, Shelby will begin the conversions either at its Las Vegas shop or one of the firm’s Mod Shops located throughout the United States.
The package includes a Ford Racing handling pack with adjustable dampers, lowering springs, special stabilizer bars and a strut tower brace, as well as a standard Ford Racing supercharger, Borla exhaust, a short-throw six-speed shifter, a unique Shelby-designed fiberglass hood and various Shebly design details including 20-inch alloy wheels.
The standard supercharger package puts out an impressive 630 horsepower and 590 lb-ft. of torque, but an upgraded Shelby/Ford Racing or Shelby/Kenne Bell supercharger kit can be specified for a full 725 horsepower.
The 630 horse package adds $29,495 to the price of a standard Ford Shelby GT500 , while the more powerful pack adds an additional $4,000. Both packages come installed and include a listing in the Shelby registry.
