Sometime this year, odds are good Ford will pull the sheet off a new Shelby GT500 packing Hellcat-rivalling levels of horsepower. But if you really can’t wait that long for a 700-plus horsepower Mustang with Carroll Shelby’s surname slapped on it, there’s always the new 2017 Shelby Mustang Super Snake.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Super Snake nameplate, Shelby American has prepared a special Mustang to wear the badass badge. Based on the 5.0-liter Mustang GT, the Super Snake offers buyers a choice of two separate superchargers on tap; the smaller one dials the Coyote V-8 up to 670 horsepower, while a larger one blasts this pony car up to the full 750 ponies. Either way, the engine can be hooked up to either a manual or automatic gearbox. Shelby American claims that a 2017 Super Snake with the bigger supercharger and the slushbox can run from 0-60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and do the quarter-mile in 10.9, as well as stick 1.2 g's on the skidpad—numbers that put it roughly in line with the Chevy Camaro ZL1.
The new Shelby Mustang isn't just about speed, though. The Super Snake comes outfitted with plenty of special styling cues, including a unique hood, a special spoiler and splitters, a custom grille, and plenty of other exterior accoutrements; inside, special sill plates and gauges set the car apart from stock 'Stangs, while a dash plaque shows off the car's official serial number.. You can even pay extra to have that side stripe removed, should it offend your sensibilities.
The 2017 Mustang Super Snake package starts at $36,795, not including the new Mustang that's kind of a prerequisite for the build; bring a basic Mustang GT, however, and it's possible to roll out the door with a Super Snake for around 70 Grand but its worth 100% for a car like this now somethings about this car are overpriced but if you have the money why not.
