Yes you are right...I just got the new Muscle mustangs and fast fords magazine in the mail the other day and they tested the 725 hp one, and yes it has no warranty and costs 39k more than a GT500

So idiots don't wreck it and say, "Not my fault, you fix it." The whole point behind the super snake is that when Shelby dies it'll be worth more than most of the guys that buy it's houses. Also, how pissed would you be if you had a z06 and got smoked by a mustang. I know i would be. Yes you can go buy a used c6 and build it to be faster, but can't you do that with pretty much every car? (minus a few cars) There's always someone with a faster car, but if I had to choose between a Z06 or the Snake, i'd definitely take the snake. Especially with those wheels, which are $600 each and sooo sick OMG.

you cant compare a z06 and the 725hp super snake, for one the z06 is a naturally aspirated beast.. compare the snake and zr1 they are in the same bracket...

Haha it's true. I've ridden in one, and it is one hell of a ride. I don't know what I'd compare it to.

Yea I don't doubt the ZR1 will be a better performer than the snake. They really are 2 different types of cars. The vettes just handle amazing I drove a C5 Z06 and rode in a C6 Z06...lots of fun!

Yes. Same thing, different name.

This past time that I went to the road course in the Cobra there was a C6 that smoked me like I was a freaking Honda Accord. The length of the body and just the design of the car makes it relatively untouchable in the twisties. I could catch up to him on the front stretch but once we got back into the curves he'd pull on me again.

And to clarify the KR is not $100,000 it's only around $80,000, and that is with the cost jacked-up by the stealership. The dealership I bought my mustang from had a KR for $82,200. So, yes you can compare it to the $76,000 Z06. The ZR1 isn't even a comparison price wise, being that it cost $106,000.

I don't know how much more the 725-hp option is, but I'm sure it's not $20,000. But, as I stated before the big thing about the Super Snake is that it'll be, or should be at least, worth more than what it cost when Carroll Shelby dies. I don't believe a Vette is going to be worth more than what it was when you bought it, or what you put into it.

Hierarchy-

Bullitt/Shelby
Gt350
GT500
GT500 KR
GT500 KR SS

The gt500 kr and KR ss are different. Everyone keeps thinking they're the same and it's really bothering me.

They are the same....the 725-hp is just a different package, it doesn't make it a Super Snake. Both are Super Snake's....At least I thought so. If you search up Super Snake it brings up both the 620-hp and the 725-hp packages.

Here's a quote directly from Shelby's website.

"SHELBY AUTOS AND FORD RACING TO BUILD 600+ HP STREET LEGAL SHELBY GT500 "SUPER SNAKES""
Both are Super Snakes, not just the 725-hp.

if you have a GT500 and you have a **** load of money you can send it out to Shelby and they will put the super snake package on it so you can go from 500 to 725.

i talked with a guy at the ford nationals that did that.

Damn, that would be awesome. I can't imagine even having a GT500, let alone a Super Snake. Then again, if I was able to come up with that, I could come up with the rest for a GT(40). Anyone want to buy a wife, a dog, a house, and alot of extras? LMAO

08 Mustang GT- What kind of Cobra?

Not like you can ever read what the hell they write on there anyways. All of it is scribbles and marks except for how much it costs lol.
