2013 Shelby Super Snake!

Shelby showed off the first 2013 GT500 Super Snake this past weekend:

I think I like everything but the wheel design.

Leave it to Shelby to find a way to screw up the GT500. I know those hood and scoopes aren't rated for 200MPH. Then they put cheap leather over the entire Recaro seat. Ugh...

Not too many surprises there. And I'm not keen on the wheels. The "stock" '13 GT500 offers so much, makes you wonder if the SS isn't redundant.

I like the Ford factory car much better than the Super Snake.

I'll stick to a stock GT500 and upgrade that, thank you very much. Nothing about it interests me.

I don't think so. It's tagged as disappointment, but that isn't a disappointment face.

Agreed, that's more of a "I'm not sure if I like it or not" face.

However, this newest Super Snake deserves the following response, IMO

I do like the wheels and the steering wheel. You can keep the rest of the HotWheels visual appeal.

to me that meme says " mmm umm okay....not really impressed" so yea thats how I feel about it....this car could be better but its not and the cost of the **** SS package is certainly not worth the upgrades (downgrades) they did

WTF happened to that wide body kit?!?

The wheels are ugly, so are the seats.

Also, where are the carbon ceramic brakes they were testing???

The wide body is a one-off GT500 Cobra, built as a tribute to Carroll, it wasn't destined to be the Super Snake

I saw them at Laguna Seca over the weekend. The Super Snake is bad to the bone. It's definitely a step up from the GT500. Didn't really like the Guardsman Blue tribute car as much. The Super Snakes are for those that want even more than the GT500 provides. It's really as simple as that.
