(from Ford Press
Release) LAS VEGAS – June 26, 2009 – Continued
demand for a “Super Snake” post title package has led Shelby
Automobiles to unveil a new program to turn a limited number of 2010
Ford Shelby GT500s into Shelby super cars. The Super Snake package
will include enhancements to the 2010 Ford Shelby GT500’s handling,
styling and power; output ratings will range from 630 to over 725
horsepower. Exclusivity will be assured as a limited number of Super
Snakes will be built at the Shelby Autos facility in Las Vegas or
one of the Mod Shops, beginning in August 2009.
“We take great pride in engineering fast, fun cars that people love
to drive,” said Carroll Shelby. “Over the past 12 months, my team of
hot rodders was hard at work on a Super Snake package for the next
generation GT500. Every lesson we learned kicking the competition
around on the track over the past two years has been poured into
this new car to keep Shelby owners out front.”
Born on the drag strip and road course at Las Vegas Motor Speedway,
Ford Racing and Shelby Automobiles dialed in an even more aggressive
suspension and engine package for the 2010 car.
“Since we introduced the Super Snake package for the GT500 in 2007,
this Shelby has become the pinnacle of current generation muscle
cars,” added Amy Boylan, president of Shelby Automobiles. “While the
stock GT500 is a fine car, serious enthusiasts know that they can
come to us to make their Shelby even better. For those who crave a
harder edged Shelby, this is your car.”
The 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake post title package includes:
Customers interested in
bringing their 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 to one of the Shelby Mod Shops
for transformation should contact Roger Sorel with Shelby
Automobiles at (702) 942-7325. The price of the 630 HP package is
$29,495 and the 725 HP package is $33,495 including installation but
not the car. Each vehicle will be listed in the official Shelby
registry.
Complete Super Snake packages will only be available through Shelby
Automobiles; some products comprising the package will be offered by
Shelby Automobiles and Ford Racing later this year.
