Shelby Super Snake: Ford Mustang Perfomance

At Reddick Brown Ford, we’re proud to present the Shelby Super Snake, a vehicle that represents the pinnacle of Ford Mustang engineering and performance. This high-performance masterpiece seamlessly blends raw power with refined handling, creating a driving experience that’s truly unparalleled in the automotive world.

A Legacy of Excellence: From GT350 to Super Snake

The Shelby Super Snake’s lineage traces back to the iconic GT350 and GT500 models, each leaving an indelible mark on automotive history. While these models share a common ancestry, they each bring unique attributes to the table.

The GT350, introduced in 1965, revolutionized street sports cars by essentially offering a street-legal racecar. It elevated performance vehicles beyond the confines of the racetrack, allowing enthusiasts to experience track-like thrills on public roads.

The GT500, debuting in 1967, took this concept further. With its 428-cubic inch, 7.0L V8 engine generating 355 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, it set new standards for muscle car performance. The GT500 could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds, a remarkable feat for its time.

However, the Super Snake takes this legacy of performance to new heights. Modern Super Snake models boast a staggering 825 horsepower, more than doubling the output of their ancestors. This remarkable increase in power exemplifies the continuous evolution and refinement of Shelby’s engineering prowess.

Comparing Legends: Super Snake vs. GT350 vs. GT500

While the GT350, GT500, and Super Snake all bear the Shelby name, they each offer distinct performance profiles. The Super Snake, being the most recent and advanced iteration, naturally outperforms its predecessors in terms of raw power and modern technology integration.

In terms of speed, the current Super Snake reigns supreme. With its 825 horsepower engine, it significantly outpaces both the GT350 and GT500 in acceleration and top speed. However, each model has its unique charm and historical significance that appeal to different enthusiasts.

The 1967 GT500: A Timeless Classic

The 1967 GT500 holds a special place in automotive history. Its blend of muscular design and potent performance made it an instant classic. The limited production run of only 2,048 units in its debut year has made it a highly sought-after collector’s item.

What made the 1967 GT500 stand out was its ability to combine raw power with a level of refinement unusual for muscle cars of its era. Its 428-cubic inch V8 engine, coupled with a cast aluminum intake manifold and two 600-cfm Holley carburetors, delivered performance that was ahead of its time.

Fast forward to 2025, and the modern GT500 and Super Snake models build upon this legacy. They retain the spirit of their ancestor while incorporating cutting-edge technology and engineering advancements. Today’s models offer unprecedented levels of power, handling, and comfort, showcasing how far automotive technology has progressed in the intervening decades.
