2017 | Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake Widebody Six-Speed
Overview
Shelby American has long specialized in upfitting the best of Ford Performance. The aftermarket manufacturer’s expert tuning of late-model Mustangs reached new heights in 2017 with the limited reissue of a turnkey special dubbed Super Snake. Released to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Carroll Shelby’s original 1967 GT500 Super Snake, just 500 units were produced. All chassis began as Mustang GTs post-title, then subsequently built to order in manual or automatic configurations with up to 750 horsepower. No tribute in name only, the Super Snake delivered on its design brief as a wholly modern competition-ready sports car.
.
Upstaging even the 5.2L-powered GT350R, Shelby’s tuning of the new Super Snake demonstrated the intentionality and focus expected from one of the most recognized names in domestic high performance. At the high end, hardware chosen for the task at hand included forced induction, stiffened suspension, available widebody conversion, and modifications to braking and cooling systems in stride. Alongside improvements to engine management software and a wide range of mechanical fine-tuning, the car’s creature comforts benefitted from two-tone bucket seating, a revised wireless auxiliary gauge cluster, and model-specific door sill plates.

This 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake Coupe shows the pony car at its best—packing plenty of bite. Inside, subtle updates sharpen driver controls from an Alcantara-trimmed three-spoke steering wheel to additional gauges and a short throw six-speed shifter. A 4-point roll bar adds track readiness, spanning over top power adjustable heated/ventilated two-tone front seats with Super Snake embroidery. Ford's Sync 3 infotainment and Shaker 12-speaker audio add modern convenience and connectivity. Enthusiast-specced, this manual transmission Shelby shines from the ground up with coil-over suspension, 20" wheels, Brembo brakes, and widebody conversion seamlessly packaged to perform. Substantial 305/30 front, 345/30 rear tires hold the road with help from limited-slip rear differential. A Whipple supercharger commands high horsepower backed by a Shelby cooling system overqualified to keep operating temperature within range. With diligent maintenance from new and an odometer reading of only 2,068 miles, this Super Snake offers its next owner a chance at high speed enjoyment for many miles to come.
