2011 Shelby GT500 Super Snake: Now With 800 HP

[HEMISFEAR]

The 2010 Shelby GT500 Super Snake made a slightly outrageous 750 hp. For 2011, Shelby's offering an 800-hp option. C'mon, when there's an 800-hp option is there really any option at all? You gotta check that box.

Most of the 2011 Shelby GT500 upgrades are what they offered last year, including an upgraded supercharger kit, stronger brakes, short-throw shifter, a trunk full of Ford Racing suspension parts. They're not yet saying how they're getting from 750-to-800 hp, nor are they saying how much more it'll be than the $30K 750-hp version.

But they did say they're getting new anthracite wheels, white stripes and side scoops. So that's something.

Expect to see these things as show cars only or wrapped around trees if street driven.....

I'm not a huge fan of the newer Mustang body style, but I really like the looks of this one. I'm guessing price wise it's somewhere north of 70K??? Also, with that much power, you'd better be running some really sticky tires on the street.

Looks are great, I agree. Already saw a new GT500 /KR that was showing off slam into a light pole and onto a side walk, striking two people (saw the pics on another forum).At this HP rating, there should be some sort of licence to achieve before you're allowed to purchase/drive it. 800HP is no joke.

At that power level how are you ever supposed to keep it straight being a rwd vehicle?
