Carol Shelby personally took the wraps off one of the most bad-ass street legal Mustangs ever built: the Shelby GT500 Super Snake Prudhomme 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 Shelby GT500 Super Snake Prudhomme 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.

Some people just should not be behind the wheel of a car. At least this guy driving the Firebird was kind enough to do it off the public roads.

The idea of an all electric Pony car or Shelby Cobra might not sit well with some people, but California-based company, HST International has developed a pair of electric vehicles ready for sale based on the iconic pony cars. Dubbed the Tjaarda EVX Mustang and HST Shelby Cobra EVX, the 2 new cars will be on show at the 34th Annual Toyota GP in Long Beach, California.
Isn’t the throaty grumble of the exhaust part of the allure for these cars though? Where’s the passion when simply pressing the go pedal and the 1,355Nm (1,000ft-lb) of torque at 0 rpm and a peak output of 300hp shoots you from to 60 MPH in only 3.9 seconds for the Stang, and 3.2 seconds for the Cobra? Sure that’s damn fast, and you can get a 100 miles on an 8 hour charge at 120V, or a 3 hour charge at 220V, but still, don’t we want to keep our E-cars separate from our muscle cars? The Tjaarda EVX Mustang starts at $80,000, while the Cobra comes in at $125,000.
