    Thumbs up 1999 Dodge Durango Shelby SP360

    A Dodge Shelby that few, if any, knew existed. 3,000 were planned. Don't know how many were actually built, beyond 'a few hundred'.




    A group of independent tuners built a Super Pursuit Durango that premiered at the Specialty Equipment Marketing Association (SEMA) show. The concept used a supercharged Kenne Bell 5.0-liter (360cid) Dodge Magnum V8. Output was 360hp @ 4000rpm and 412 lb-ft torque and went from 0-60 in 7.1 seconds. Top speed was 142 mph.

    Making a positive impression, the next step was to bring the project to market. That’s where Carroll Shelby came into the picture. Shelby agreed to lend his name to the performance-oriented SUV that became the Shelby SP360. For improved handling it included DJM engineering’s suspension and lowering package. Stillen provided an optional, race-inspired brake system, using AP Racing six-piston calipers, and cross-drilled, vented disc/disc, ABS. As with previous Dodge Shelby creations the SP360 was only available in one color — Viper metallic blue.

    Two white broad racing stripes ran down the center of the truck. RaceTruck Trends provided the body kit which included a front fascia with integral driving lights, rear fascia, side skirts and twin intake composite hood. The interior received Cerullo leather front seats with the classic Shelby logo embroidered on the seat backs designed which were specifically for the SP360. AMA provides the carbon-fiber interior trim. A special serial numbered "Shelby Signature" plaque was mounted to the dash.

    I used to see two of them all the time back when they were new. They were cool compared to the other stuff on the road at that time.

    I've seen a few of them driving around back in the day.
    Haven't seen one on the road in at least 10 years.

    BTW: The author got it wrong.... It is a 6.0 liter engine (Dodge 360 V8), not a 5.0L.
    And look at modern technology...a NA 5.0L Coyote makes 100 more HP, and more Torque than a Supercharged 6.0L V8.....

    I always thought these looked kind of ridiculous and the wheels did it no favors.

    The Saleen XP8 with the powerdyne blower is where it was at.

    IIRC from the magazine tests, they had problems with pinging/detonation.
