I dont know where the conflict is coming from....
I watched the video closely. The Mustang in the video is a 2013 Shelby GT500 snake. It certainly isnt a 2011 model. For two obvious reasons. Check this out folks:
This is a photo of a 2011 Shelby
Notice the stripes on the 2011 model. They are thin and narrow. In additon. Look at the hood opening. It is direct with the hood, which is the same as the 2011 model. Now look at the 2013 model:
Notice that the 2013 model has wider stripes and also has the same 2011 scoops. Now going back to the video uploaded by the OP, check out this still photo:
You can clearly see that those stripes differ from the 2011 Shelby and is clearly a 2013 Shelby Snake.
SLS Qatar, nice race, you truly have a heck of a fast ride. good job

The 2011 and 2012 Shelby GT500s also come with the wide stripes. I don't think this is a 2013, and like others have already said this is DEFINITELY not a Super Snake. Good race nonetheless.

But I never said "Super Snake" which makes 850HP. And I stated in the video that it dynos 580rwhp which indicates it's the 2013 GT500.

Yes exactly. I meant the 662HP 2013GT500. Like I said I don't know why in Qatar they also call the 662HP 2013 GT500 a "Snake". For this reason I was calling it "snake".

Thanks Gthal. I think the confusion case is now solved
I also apologize for not knowing the official name and going by what it's named here in Qatar which caused a little confusion. But never I said that it's a SuperSnake which makes 850 HP. Because that one would really smoke me

Stripes aren't the way you decipher the year of the car....
Nice win anyway

Damn! All this needless and stupid comments about which mustang it is...This is an Mercedes forum, who F*** cares about a damn mustang and which year it is. If the OP's friends says he bought a 2013 then It must be....Why make a stupid argument about it.
Everyone has mustangs they all look the same...UGLY
Who cares about the width of the stripes...Grow up
How about the sound of that AMAZING AMG SLS??? Really, no one is gonna mention that, but the year of a common crap car. I'll take a vette any day over that POS....
There I'll come off my soap box...again great great and I love the sound of your car. That is pure sex

It is very well known that the 2013 Ford Shelby Snake is a very powerful American muscle car. With all the technical data, no one would expect any naturally aspirated AMG to beat a 2013 Ford Shelby Snake.
Here's a race I had with one just a few hours back. Two races were video taped from my GoPro camera.
First race was from 80KM/hr, ESP-Sport
Second race, 100KM/hr ESP-Off (Where AMG Hell is unleashed)
Enjoy
