2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake package

Shelby has revealed the Super Snake package for the 2010 Shelby GT500 at the Mid America Ford and Team Shelby Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Shelby takes an existing customer GT500 and adds the upgrades. Depending on which supercharger the customer selects, the Super Snake will churn out 630 hp for the base configuration or 725 hp with the optional setup. Further changes under the hood include an upgraded intercooler, cold air intake system and radiator. A 630 hp version uses a Borla cat-back exhaust, while 725 hp version uses a JBA unit.

Handling upgrades are simply Ford Racing suspension components with adjustable dampers, stiffer springs, thicker antiroll bars, a front strut tower brace and 20-inch Super Snake wheels wrapped with Pirelli P-Zero tires. Baer six-piston front calipers with cross drilled rotors are fitted at all four corners.

External features include a hood with a larger scoop and vents, striping decals, rear quarter window scoops, and carbon-fiber splitter and side sills. The interior features seat headrests with embroidered Shelby logos and carbon-fiber gauge faces.

Additional options include a six-piston rear brake system, Eibach adjustable coil-over suspension and a two-tone leather interior upgrade. Each car will receive a Shelby consecutively number dash plaque, engine plate and listed in the official Shelby registry.

Pricing for the Super Snake package begins at $29,495 for the 630-hp kit and $33,495 for the 725-hp kit, which includes installation at Shelby Automobiles’ Las Vegas plant or at a Shelby-authorized tuning shop. Builds of the 2010 Super Snake begin in August.

Additionally, the Shelby SR package for the 2005-2009 Mustang GT pumps power up to 550 hp, with the help of a Ford Racing supercharger and Borla exhaust.

Handling mods include an Eibach suspension with coil-over shocks, struts, pro sway bars, bump steer kit, improved lower control arm bushings and caster/camber plates, and a Watts Link suspension. Lighter 18-inch aluminum wheels come with 275/35 BF Goodrich R compound tires. Brake involve Baer six-piston front and rear units.
