Default 850hp Shelby Super Snake Widebody

At least on the stock hp side of things, Mustangs aren't messing around. Now comes the Super Snake Widebody, available in a 662hp version or an 850hp version.

Let's hope the higher performing C7 versions to come out are up there as well.

not bad for stock. Just a shame the supersnakes cost so much. I have a hard time spending that on a mustang.

its like a callaway package not stock. wide body plus 662 hp adds 45k to a base car. for the 850 hp tack on another 10k. it will go straight ahead very quickly.....

850 HP is useless unless you can make it hook. A 505 HP Z06 would spank it on a road course.
I would still like to have one.....Kona Blue Please!

Let's just recap the retardedness that has become the super snake over the years.

So now it's $29k for wheels/tires, brakes, suspension pieces, catback, and a hood.

$11k for a warrantied I assume and installed 850hp supercharger upgrade(that part makes sense).

$15k for a widebody kit including 4 fenders and 2 sideskirts.

Dafuq are these people thinking, that they can capitalize off of Shelby's death? For 2011-12, the 750 super snake base package was $34k according to Shelby's site... except that already included the 750hp motor. So now 850hp costs $40K?!? That's 100 more hp for 10 grand... except the factory motor already makes 110 more hp then 11-12!!!

And the Focus ST??? Yeah, I'm sure they'll have people lining up to dish out $15,000 on a brand new $25,000 car. $15k for suspesion, a short shifter, and some minor body pieces. I'm sure the "speed on the cheap" crowd will be more then willing to pay.

Although, when you think about it... the gt500 and ST get a very similar list of upgrades, and yet the gt500 upgrades cost twice as much as the ST. Nice price gauging there...
