Is it just me or does the right side have a side scoop and the left doesn't!? What's with that? AMAZING car other than that. I'm too OCD for that crap! Side effect of being in Quality Assurance haha

That would be sick.. But question is how long will it take them to get caught and complete the builds.. I cancelled my super snake upgrade on my 08 due to the trouble they were having completing at the time.. Plus talking with a few friends who wish they didn't get because of a few issues..car sounds great and all but I just don't drink the kool aid... Can't wait to see tb results none the less

The car pictured is actually a 2011 demo car. It only has a scoop on one side so potential customers could see it with and without.

One scoop or two that is simply a mean *** looking sumbitch!!! 800 HP from the factory.....WOW!!!. But the $100k price tag is just stupid silly.

Agreed! I can build 1000HP car for less. It wont be Shelby but it will beat the brakes off a Shelby. I think the overpricing for just someones name is not cool. Very cool car, not so cool price. lol..

Thats because you dont drink the kool aid......

many will argue with you that the name is more important etc...I for one...bought my Shelby gt500 because I love the car....of course I could have built a much faster car for cheaper...but I like the car etc...same can be said for the supersnake...you can build a gt500 faster and better for cheaper....the kool aid drinkers will tell you then it wont be a real super snake yadda yadda yadda... but again...if someone wants to spend the 100K for the upgrade..so be it....thats their money well spent in their eyes... it all depends...if you have 100k of disposable income and want the car prepackaged ready to go..then go for it...if you want to stand on the premise that I can build it cheaper...well then the argument is futile ..because of course you can..then maybe you buying a 100k car is not what you would do anyhow.... it all depends what you want

and you could probably build a cheaper cobra jet, too. That isn't the point of these vehicles no matter how much people keep saying it.
