Shelby SuperSnake special edition mustang
Ford Mustang is the new benchmark fro muscle manufacturers such as Vaxhall, Pontaic and General Motors etc. The stock mustang itself is a fire breathing monstor with over 500HP under the hood. But Carol Shelby, founder of Shelby Automobiles was not satisfied with the performance of mustangs with factory settings. So he took the stock mustang and fitted it with performance intake manifolds, free flow exhausts and then installed a massive supercharger that rams air into the engine. The result of all these changes is a boost of horsepower from 500HP to an astonishing 725HP. This sort of power accompanied with some roll cages, performance shocks and strut braces will yield a machine that can outrun a heavily tuned Corvettes or Vipers. All this performance figures can be achieved by one if he has a stock Mustang GT500 and is ready to spend US$27000 from his pocket. At this price tag this sort of performance is a bargain. No other muscle car can come anywhere to the performance figures of the Shelby mustang SuperSnake limited edition. The only disadvantage of this package is only available at Las Vegas factory.
