A few weeks ago, I went the annual Northwest Mustang Roundup and All Ford show on the campus of Bellevue College. With its tall fir and hemlock trees providing a verdant backdrop, acres upon acres of Mustangs and Fords of all kinds lay before us like a blue oval buffet. One of them stood out above the others, though; it was head and shoulders (and haunches) above the rest. Like what you see? Take the jump below to see more. This is a 2014 GT500 Shelby Super Snake, the last of the current generation Mustangs. I got the chance to ask the owner, Andrew, a few questions about this thumping beast of a car, and I could tell he was really proud of his machine. He even gave me a safety lesson on working with drills near facial hair (I have, let’s say, a substantial beard on my face) that I will definitely take to heart – and chin. What you really want to know, though, is the facts, and nothing but. Well, here you are: This random guy approves of this message. 5.8-liter supercharged V-8 used in the stock GT500, which produces 850 HP Kenne Bell 3.6 liquid cooled twin screw supercharger Watt’s Link rear end As you can see from the pictures, this is the wide body package, which allows room for the massive 20×13 rims out back. Not a scratch to be found. Except that one. Make no mistake: this car ain’t cheap, and it’s not for everyone. Owning a Super Snake, especially of this vintage, comes with it all the worries of a new car with all the desire to thrash it on a race track. It must be a real quandary, and with the kind of figures Shelby is pumping out of these beasts, they’re quickly approaching super car territory. It’s a cross I’m sure Andrew gladly bears. Over to you: what do you think of this snorting, belching pony? Is it a true stallion, or just a gelding looking for attention? [Photos Copyright 2014 Hooniverse/Marcal Eilenstein]
