At this years New York Auto Show Shelby American will debut its new ‘Super Snake’ post title package for the 2012 Ford Shelby GT500. This time around the Super Snake post title package will boast a mind boggling 800 horsepower, an increase of 50 horsepower over last years package.
“Shelby American has a rich history at the New York International Auto Show,” said John Luft, president of Shelby American Inc. “The very first Shelby car was introduced there in 1962, as well as the 1968 and 2008 Shelby GT500KR and the 2006 Shelby Hertz GT-H. This year, we’re returning with one of the most powerful and important Shelbys ever built.”
Born on the drag strip and road course of Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Shelby American and its partner Ford Racing, created an aggressive suspension and engine package that turns the Ford Shelby GT500 into a world class supercar. Even more power is available for the 2012 model year. There will be a limited production of Super Snakes available to customers starting May 1, 2011.
“With more horsepower, the 2012 Shelby GT500 Super Snake is a strong performer both on the road and the track,” noted Gary Patterson, vice president of operations at Shelby American. “This Super Snake will deliver the driving experience that enthusiasts expect from the Shelby brand.”
The new Super Snake post title package is one of the very few vehicles that generates up to 800 horsepower on pump gas. Not only is the high performance vehicle legal in 50 states, the unique, limited production supercar allows Shelby fans the opportunity to experience the power of one of America’s legendary muscle cars for under $100,000; this includes the Shelby Super Snake package and the GT500 base vehicle.

It only available in manual. No sale for me. I want DCT or an automatic for that money. 6 speed is obsolete. Only the old gizzlers are going to jump on this 800 hp Mustang.
Only a girl wants a sports car with a automatic! Go get yourself a Golf Cart, you don’t even deserve to be LOOKING at the picture of such a fine automobile!
