2007 Ford Shelby GT500

2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake Coupe The Super Snake package begins with a stock Mustang Shelby GT500, which is then sent to the Shelby American factory in Las Vegas. A supercharger, upgraded suspension, and more powerful brakes are all fitted to the car to substantially improve all aspects of performance over the base car. A host of functional and nonfunctional exterior changes improve the aesthetics of the pony car by giving it a much more aggressive look and help differentiate the Mustang Super Snake from the less powerful GT500. MotorTrend, April 2023 For consignment, a 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake coupe with a title verified 6,173 actual miles. In its first 2,000 miles, this car existed as a mild mannered GT500 with its piddly 500 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. Our consignor had enough of that and shipped the car to Vegas where the warlocks at Shelby worked their magic and created the Super Snake you see here and upping the power to 725 horses. Exterior Loud and proud in its vibrant coat of Torch Red, this angry stallion is adorned with matte black stripes, including the wide one that traverses from the air dam in front all the way to the rear splitter in back, even taking in the solid roof along the way. In profile, you don't have to be Colombo to recognize the Super Snake clues, from the raised hood housing a wide intake, the special 20-inch Shelby super Snake wheels, the side stripe that advertises the snake, and the badge itself which surrounds the smiling serpent with those keywords, Super Snake. There's also now the rear quarter window scoop that adds width and muscularity to the C-pillar. Not convinced of its potential yet? There are hood pins, heat extractor vents, a rear wing, and carbon fiber bits to help drive the point home. Rock chips pepper the rocker panel serving as the only exterior imperfections. Interior The perforated red door inserts show a touch of looseness on otherwise spotless black door panels. The front buckets are Charcoal Black leather with tuck and roll red inserts supported by mildly swollen side supports and these, along with the rear 2+2, are in great condition, as you would expect. Red stitching and Super Snake headrest embroidery kick things up a notch and that design reappears on the center armrest. An airbag fits in a badged circle in the center of the steering wheel which is wrapped in leather and stitched with red. Ahead of you, the straight forward gauge package with red needles and the SVT acronym accenting the tachometer, backlit in lavender. The center stack begins with a dash mounted triple Shelby signature gauge pod over the badge with another signature and the Super Snake's CSM number, followed by a Shaker AM/FM/6 CD radio and standard A/C knobs. That red stitching from the wheel makes its way to the boot of the SVT short throw shifter in the center console while black carpet below wears carpeted mats. The charcoal foam backed headliner above is clean and the trunk contains a carpeted, fitted covering with Super Snake designation, presenting in spotless condition, like the rest of the interior. It contains the large Shaker 1000 subwoofer. Drivetrain The heart of the beast is the 5.4 liter DOHC Supercharged V8 with the forced air compliments of a Kenne Bell unit which helps the motor develop an astounding 725 horsepower. It's mated to a Tremec T56 6-speed manual transmission which escorts power via a one piece driveshaft to the Ford 8.8 in back with 3.73 gearing and TracLoc. It's all clean under the hood, evidence of the car's low mileage. Undercarriage Very clean underneath with minimal surface rust or some rear wheel components. Power disc brakes occupy front and back and the dual exhaust consists of a Borla cat back system with an X-pipe, stainless steel muffles, and big chrome tips that make their presence known out back. Eibach suspension includes Macpherson struts in front with a 3 link, coil springs, and a panh
