2016 Shelby Super Snake
Mustang (Australia)
Even though Ford is proudly
using the Shelby name to give meaning to their new GT350 Mustang, the company
that Carroll Shelby built is still plowing along nicely with their own
projects.
One of those projects is the
Super Snake upgrade, available for 2007-2014 Shelby GT500 models or the
2015-2016 Mustang GT, which is what we're looking at here.
This is officially the first
RHD (right hand drive) 2016 Shelby Super Snake to hit Australian shores and it
definitely came to play with over 750 HP coming from its tuned 5.0-liter
supercharged V8.
In this US, the optional
750+ package costs upwards of US$ 54,999 and includes Whipple 750+ or Kenne Bell
750+ superchargers, an upgraded cooling package, differential cooling, transmission
cooling, Shelby Wilwood four-piston rear brakes, plus the aggressive exterior
kit which comes with Weld Racing one-piece Super Snake 20" wheels.
This particular build was
completed by Mustang Motorsport Official in Australia, where car enthusiasts
are used to laying down rubber with help from their V8-powered machines.
