Carroll Shelby has teamed up with an old buddy of him, Don ‘The Snake’ Prudhomme and these fellas prepared an old school tuning package for the Mustang Shelby GT500 and the goal of this project is to make a dragster for everyday use! You can have it on every GT500 from 2007 to 2010 models. The 5.4 supercharged V8 in this car produces 800 hp on race fuel while on regular petrol it still can kill you with 750hp! Furthermore it’s equipped with adjustable racing suspension, racing exhaust system and 5 point racing belts. By default it comes with dragster wheels and tyres but can order ordinary ones as well.
They actually say the idea behind this car is what they used to do in 60’s, driving the dragster to the drag strip, doing mind blowing times and then driving it home again! and that’s the coolest idea I’ve recently heard in the whole auto industry! This package comes with a $100,000 price tag plus the cost of GT500! Ouch!
