So, I don't know if anybody on here listens to Adam Carolla. He has a couple of podcasts, one of which is called the Car Cast, and on it he has guests who are into cars somehow, whether they are famous people or they work in the industry. Well, on the most recent podcast (Saturday), Tom Nelson of Nelson Racing Engines was on. He makes 2000hp twin turbo engines. He mentioned that he is going to be working with Shelby soon on a limited run of 1000hp Shelby Mustangs. He said that something like 25 or 50 will be made, and that they'll be twin turbocharged. New Super Snake coming out in coming years, perhaps? Has anyone else heard anything about this? If you want to hear the podcast, here's a link. He mentions it sometime in the first 25 minutes. Don't know exactly when, I was driving to work listening to it.

Nice ~

 

1000 hp... yeah, that'll connect to the ground - no problem. Might as well make it 10,000 hp at that point, really.

 

If a 700hp Super Snake is $$$, then a 1,000hp low production # S-H-E-L-B-Y will be $$$$$$$$$$$$. How about making the current car (SSS) able to put its power to the ground more effectively instead?

 

I'd rather not listen to Adam Corrola for 25+ minutes. Can't stand his voice. I'll just take your word for it that he says something about a 1000hp stang (which I agree will never get the power to the ground).

 

set of these might help... LOL

 

They'll probably put 255 all season Good Year Eagles on it or something.

 

please...no more shelby mustangs. after the GT350, just please no more. its not the special edition whining or anything...its just...please no more shelby mustangs. lol

 

A twin turbo super snake based on the 2011 GT500 would be a beast. Just please put better tires on it!

 

I wonder if it could finally beat a stock GT-R now

 

Termy power is more than enough to have a lot of fun now matched by the 5.0. Above that level of performance is just bragging rights.

 

And I'm sure it'll have ZMax in it for "fuel mileage"

There is a difference between 1000 streetable hp and 1000 hp in a race car.

When is enough too much?

 

Look at the evolution of the GT Mustang. 412 Hp wasn't something you'd see on many high production cars even 10 years ago. Even V6 mustangs are making more power than big block V8 engines back in the day. The bottom line is, as long as there is a market demand for performance, and as long as there are competetive vehicles on the market, we'll continue to see a rise in performance and efficiency of cars. Just enough is only just enough till it's not enough anymore.

 

I hear ya, bring back the boss 429...

 

It would be nice to see some actual engineering done to make that horsepower usable...

 

Shelby should do it, and we should be glad if he does (the government sure isn't going to). Also, I'd like to see them run in the standing mile.

 

sounds like he is trying to compete with fords cobra jet factory drag car with the 50 or so production run
