[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16270233, member: 9628"] It is the ultimate "Shelby built" Shelby GT500. When Ford was at 500HP, the upper end Super Snake was 725/750. When Ford was at 550HP, the Super Snake upper end option was 800. When 662HP came out, the Super Snake moved to 850. The cooling system and suspension parts that are either standard installs or options for the Super Snake are the same parts that are "Joe Lunchbox" install parts in owners private garages to make their GT500 perform better than it did from the Ford assy. line, the only difference in most cases is the Shelby parts are Shelby engraved/ logoed. So if these same mods that are installed on a Super Snake do not make it better than the oem GT500 from Ford for a specific year, then we all might as well pull all of the modded parts off of our cars because the mod parts do not make the car stronger/faster than it was "as it came from Ford". The only difference is........Shelby installed the parts on the Super Snake and it has a CSM number making "1 of a very few" instead of "1 of many" at the car show (or roaming the street). I do agree that $60K+ is wayyyy too much money for an entry level 605HP Super Snake, the 725's are much more desirable from this era and perform much better than the entry level 6XX. Just think.........just now Ford/SVT is in the 7XXHP level with the production GT500, 10+ years after Shelby offered this on the Super Snake. I am interested what Shelby will do with the 2020 Super Snake? 950HP? 1000+? R [/QUOTE]
