[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 8229683, member: 9628"] I must admit that I do favor the Super Snake, at least the 725h.p. Super Snake. It is a beast!! I like the KR also, but it seemed that Ford is limited in areas that Shelby may not be, the first area being liability. The pre-title and post title argument/discussion has subsided now that real numbers have and are coming out between these two very similar, but very different cars. The 2010 GT500 coming out with 540h.p. and much KR technology has not helped the KR, 540h.p. is suddenly not so special. Once people realized that the KR's were built in the same exact Shelby Las Vegas shop (The Mod Shop) as the 605 and 725 Super Snakes, the "Ford Assy. Line" impressions quickly faded. I also agree that the KR was built in much lower numbers, about half of what is currently being stated for the Super Snake, but 540h.p. vs. 725h.p. are two different worlds. Of the "twice as many Super Snakes to be built", how many are 605h.p.? and how many are 725's? This will also matter in "real" build totals. The hood is a huge difference in these cars. The KR has twist locks like the original 1968 GT500KR Shelby, the Super Snake has hood pins like the 1967 GT500 Super Snake. I would not expect a KR to have hood pins, I would not expect a Super Snake to have twist locks. The Ford designed KR c/f hood has much more engineering that the Super Snake f/g hood, but they both serve the same function, get fresh air to the CAI. Even though they are similar in look, they are engineered differently. One thing I can say about the Super Snake hood, it has a mirror finish on the bottom side and you can see the engine compartment in the paint because the finish is so nice. The 95/00 Cobra R f/g hoods do not look like this on the bottom side. The only real complaint I have with the Super Snake is the head rest covers. The KR has nice stitched headrests and the Super Snake has pull over covers, and they do not match the seat color well. Supposedly, the Super Snakes being produced now have nice matching stitched headrests. I am on the list for a set of the updated headrests, but I do not have them yet. R [/QUOTE]
