Behold the new 2011 Shelby GT500 Super Snake

At $30k for the pkg and another $35k for the car, it seems (to me) to be a bargain at around $65-70k for an 800HP car

The article I read says 725hp, but Shelby's website says 800hp. The car is beautiful. The design of the grille reminds me of the old Shelby Cobra

You're right - I edited my post, but your reply beat me to it.

I don't know John. The latest issue of Motor Trend has a comparison between the 5.0 Mustang and the M3. Yes the M3; probably the best handling sports sedan on the market. I didn't read the whole article yet but it seems like even though the M3 won, it won only by a very small margin and they were raving about how good the Mustang actually handled. Gave the M3 a run for it's money.
