We’ve been out driving a new Shelby GT500 Super Snake, kindly supplied to us by a friend of DR, and we thought we’d share a few sound files to whet your appetite before the article and videos are published next week.
So, what is a GT500 Super Snake I hear you ask?
Well Shelby takes a Mustang GT500 with its supercharged 5.4 litre V8 and 500 hp output and then gives it a proper seeing to – the result is a less than modest 605 hp at 6250 rpm and 554 lbs-ft at 4500 rpm. Add in Baer 6-piston caliper brakes, Eibach suspension and Borla exhausts and you’ve got the proverbial american muscle car. But you might be surprised to realise how well this all adds up to create a truly desirable drivers car.
Chris will tell you the full story next week, but in the meantime here is a photo of him in one of those rare moments of peace and tranquility during the test.
