YES YES YES The Snake is Back
This is a remarkable acheivement for a V8 supercharged engine reaching a gritty 475 horsepower. The forcefed air-n-fuel mixed engine run through a roots-type supercharger powers this 5.4ltr beast to provide 8.5 pounds per square inch of boost from its cast iron engine block down to its 6speed manual gear box which hurls the driver down the tarmac and rip it to threads.
The design was originally empted with control in mind, now many people would laugh saying "an american car that can handle corners?!!" Well we know that has changed a little in recent year/s, that wish almighty power there must be control. With the idea of continuing the GT500 legacy for its allround performance that pushed it to the forefront of race tracks around was to create it with performance in mind from start to end, fron the underpinnings to the chassis, revised shocks, spring rates, and stabilizer.
This is the kind of car you'd want to take to bed with you for a night of happy go lucky and let her roar.

Still has no independant rear suspension.. has a live axle.
Well you know FORD, it just goes to show that a long stretch of road is all this car needs BUT if there happens to be a corner Hmmmm
Why do they live in the pass. The mustang has a live axle as does the cobra shelby's
They need to listen to the world and make something that peeks performance also

Corners are meant to be taken sideways with the rear pushing you back into shape. As you'll discover in any old Ford on a road that's been sneezed on ;) That's the way a Mustang drives; people buying into the Pony legend expect a car that drives like the other one standing in the garage. (Methinks)
Check the GT500 Super Snake built by Sanderson Sales. A 750hp monster! Which probably wouldn't even see the corner ;)
The first one of these cars sold at Barret Jackson auction last weekend for $600,000 US. THe sticker price will be about $50,000. Went to charity though so I guess it was a write off.
