However I don't care to much about the top speed of this car ....256 mph is a little fast for me. Check the record setting video on this site. That video gives me chill bumps!

Funny you mention this. Coming home yesterday am from a boys weekend of madness a blacked out Shelby GT500 SuperSnake comes up (actually heard him first). We had a chance to open up to 130mph before running out of room. That car f-ing flies. I had no idea of the specs until looking them up upon returning home.

Correct me if I am wrong but this company has no affiliation with carol shelby or ford. Dont they use LS motors?

You have to hear it in person, especially at 130mph

Still tied to Shelby, check out www.2008shelbygt500.com
