2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake Specs - The 850-hp 2013 Shelby Gt500 Super Snake by Shelby American is not precisely a Pro Stock racing auto, yet its close to the point that you'll be clarifying the distinction to your neighborhood law-implementation authorities. 

When you begin with a Ford Mustang Shelby Gt500, you've got something really great with which to work. It's very nearly cordial, truly. What's more as indicated by test numbers we believe, it will get to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, in addition to it should achieve 200 mph on the off chance that you can hold your breath long enough. It additionally has enough capacity in its brakes, tires, and suspension to make such physical science available to devotees, not simply aces. 

Still, the Shelby Gt500 Super Snake has its issues. A tall last drive proportion of 3.31:1 empowers the auto to achieve 60 mph without snatching for second rigging and brings a high top speed inside range, yet it makes the auto hard to dispatch from a stop. 

What you get is a quarter-mile in 11.9 sec @ 123.5 mph (as per testing we trust). Alternately you get tire smoke, which is the signature of a failure, not a champ. 

The Truth Is Over-evaluated 


The motor shop at Shelby American knows how to get power, and the fluid cooled, twin-screw, Kenne Bell supercharger between the chamber banks of the 5.8-liter Ford SVT V-8 in our test auto is the arrangement. This 3.6-liter blower moves a ton more air than the industrial facility spec 2.3-liter supercharger. The establishment gives off an impression of being pleasantly done, with a superior radiator, an air-to-water intercooler with double fans, aluminum header tanks for the radiator and intercooler, and a huge snorkel-sort air allow that inhales through the left-front wheel well. Sometime in the past a Mustang speedster wouldn't be considerably more than this in addition to a shopping wicker bin of appearance parts chose from the best stalls at SEMA. Undoubtedly, the Gt500 Super Snake has a lot of images, stripes, and billet pieces, alongside a zippy new hood, a pretty air splitter produced using carbon fiber, Katzkin-upholstered seats with weaved Shelby logos, and a case of three gages on the driver-side A-column. Also why not? This is the sort of stuff that makes SEMA fun. 

Then again, the Ford Gt500 Super Snake is intended to be more than simply a Mustang speedster, so the Shelby American bundle likewise gets you Wilwood brakes with six-cylinder calipers front and back and an updated suspension with camber plates in front and remote-store gas dampers in the back. Our test auto (not the one imagined) likewise has the discretionary Watts interface rather than the standard Panhard bar. The manufactured aluminum 20-inch wheels convey 255/35zr-20 tires in front and 295/35zr-20 tires in the back. Most paramount, the last drive proportion has been changed to 3.73:1. 

The Street Drive

At the outset the Super Snake Specs would appear to be a brute. The supercharger whimpers thus does the ring-and-pinion, and when the Borla feline back fumes gets its voice, well, its very much an arrangement. It's additionally somewhat hard to see over the hood. The trek machine is letting us know that we're getting 16 mpg while cruising and 11 mpg while not cruising. 

In the meantime, the grip is unsurprising yet a bit substantial, the brakes have bunches of chomp, and the two-position setting for the dampers takes the sting out of unpleasant asphalt when set in Normal mode. Just the sticky activity of the six-velocity Tremec transmission's short-toss shift linkage is a diversion, however at any rate the lever has a legitimate hotness safe fired handle, not one of those chrome things. 

Inevitably you recognize that you can drive the 2013 Ford Shelby Gt500 Super Snake in activity. On the off chance that there's a hole in activity route in front of you and you need to change paths, it takes around a second to get there. You'll be fine the length of you recollect to look far enough not far off, in light of the fact that 850 hp gets you to the skyline pretty quickly. This auto isn't wild, however it is tremendously fast and quick. 

In the event that you like to drive a quarter-mile at once, you may like to realize that one of those magazines that represent considerable authority in testing Mustang speedsters slapped a set of Nitto drag radials on this auto and went down the quarter-mile at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Bradenton, Florida, in 10.66 seconds @ 137.60 mph.
