Carol Shelby personally took the wraps off one of the most bad-ass street legal Mustangs ever built: the ShelbyGT500Super SnakePrudhomme Edition. This boss Mustang proves 750 HP is always a fitting tribute to end a current model.
Named for the Top Fuel drag racer, Don “The Snake” Prudhomme, who drove for Shelby in 1968, the ShelbyGT500Super SnakePrudhomme Edition features a lengthy listed of custom modifications. Aside from the 750 horsepower (800hp on race fuel) Kenne Bell-supercharged 5.4-liter V8, the car features a fiberglass full-tilt front end, Shelby rear drag wing, eight-point roll cage, six-piston front brakes, rear seat delete, coilover springs and Bogart wheels all in a street legal package you can purchase for $149,995. Now if $150K seems a bit high for you, Shelby will allow you to bring your own, previously purchased, GT500 in and they’ll do the retrofit for the low low price of $99,995. Production will be set at a very limited 100 examples…oh and if you didn’t catch it before, it’s STREET LEGAL. Read the rest of this entry »
