2011 Ford Shelby GT500

2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake The '11 Shelby GT500 Super Snake is a hot rodded GT500 Mustang. The base GT500 already has Shelby insignias all over it, and a 540hp, blown, 5.4L, DOHC motor under the hood makes it plenty fast. But if it's still not fast enough, for another $34,245 the Shelby American facility in Las Vegas will turn it into a true fire breather that makes 750 hp at the crank and looks tough and it comes with a factory warranty. Hot Rod, May 2011 For consignment, a 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake with a title verified, 6,683 actual miles. Shelby American in Las Vegas worked their magic on the GT500 with nearly 40 modifications affecting exterior, interior, engine, brakes, suspension, and wheels and tires! Exterior The snake's wide functional hood scoop is a dead giveaway that this is not your average Mustang and when it blows by you, that's when you notice the quarter window scoops and if you're quick, the Super Snake emblem on the side. For sure you can't miss the black stripes, here adorning Ingot Silver Metallic paint, all bolstered visually by the 20-inch black Shelby Super Snake wheels with staggered width 35 series ZR rated meats. Out back, an upturned wing keeps the tail on the ground while dual exhaust fits the blackened rear splitter. Up front, it's a carbon fiber unit that greets the wind, matching the rocker panels, while hood pins keep the hood from heading to space. Externally we could find no faults, she's in flawless condition!   Interior The door panels nearly lull us to sleep with their basic configuration borrowed from the GT, but we are rattled awake by the custom seats we see before us, black and silver buckets with silver stitching and the Super Snake logo embroidered on the seat back and Carroll Shelby's autograph stitched into all four headrests! Up front, the steering wheel and instrument cluster carry over from the GT500 but extra gauges are included on the A-pillar to monitor boost, fuel, and oil pressures. A Shaker entertainment system includes an AM/FM/CD unit and the air conditioning is a series of buttons below it. A few notable signatures are on the airbag cover, and Carrolls is engraved in the center console plate that designates the car as #29. The billet white ball short throw shifter resides nearby while charcoal low pile carpet that can be protected by Super Snake branded mats, currently in trunk. Also in the truck is a special floor mat with Carroll's handywork and another expression of Super Snake. Everything described above is in excellent condition with hardly any signs of usage.   Drivetrain If you look at a cobra or rattlesnake, it's not their pretty external scales that makes them dangerous, it's the venom glands tucked into their front parts that you can't see. Open the hood of this snake and what you see is the venomous and attractive 5.4 liter DOHC V8 wearing a Whipple 2.3 supercharger, together putting out 750 horsepower. The SS is moved into motion thanks to the Tremec TR6060 6-speed manual, sending power to the Ford 8.8 differential in back with 3.73 gears and TracLoc.  Undercarriage The underside looks barely used with even the grease pencil marks and labels still in place and the shocks and brake calipers pop with bright colors amongst the black and metallic surroundings. Big exhaust pipes find their way to Borla stainless mufflers where they fan out to the polished oval tips. Ford Racing suspension components include Macpherson struts up front with a 3 link, coil springs, and a panhard bar in the rear. Air ducts go from the front of the car to the brake plates for direct cooling, something you rarely see outside of cars born to race. As we can see through the wheels, power disc brakes occupy front and back and these are Shelby/Baer Extreme six piston calipers with drilled and slotted rotors.   Drive-Ability No complaints here as this supercar for the streets retains much of the user friendliness of your av
