"If you're not averse to risk-taking, you can go with an even more powerful non-Ford-specified blower with no warranty that will push the Super Snake's 5.4-liter V-8 to 725-plus bhp."

During our acceleration runs, the best we could post was a 0-60-mph time of 4.4 seconds with massive wheelspin in the first two gears. Once underway, though, watch out. The Super Snake bit off the quarter mile in 12.5 sec. at 119.9 mph.

Look at the mph! I think their test driver needs to go back to selling ad space, and let me drive the cars! :rolleyes:

I was wondering about that too... I remember getting up to 60 in my '93 SVT Cobra that was stock in about 4 seconds.

I only paid 23K for that car brand new.

even if it was a bad driver it still doesnt make sense to me. if your going to dish out 80 grand or anything or 60, the damn car better be faster than anything cheaper than it. lets say a better driver gets it to 11, i still dont see it being worth it

They way I see it, if you have the cash buy it. If I could afford it I would.

You gotta admit that the car looks badass and Shelby is not going to be around forever.

If I was young and stupid, I'd re-mortgage my house to buy that car.

But I'm not young... I am stupid though...

"Honey, I re-mortgaged the house to buy a car. Tell the kids that we can't afford food, water or electricity anymore. Oh and tell them to get jobs, good jobs cause Daddy wants to buy high octane gas for his new love."

Yep... It's gonna happen.

Anyone got a cardboard box big enough for me and my soon to be new Shelby Cobra to call home?
