I waited to se this announced last night at 10:00. Not that cool. Looks heavy like a big brick. Hood is UGLY! Power is really no more than you could make yourself for WAY less although 800 on race gas is probably very conservative. Kenne Bell is making over 1000 at the tires with the Mammoth blower on GT500's. Price is "Shelby ridiculous" at 100k PLUS your car.
FR500 CJ is waaaaay cooler!

SHELBY AUTOS ANNOUNCES 800 HORSEPOWER DRAG RACING PACKAGE FOR GT500 SUPER SNAKE WITH DON PRUDHOMME
Team Shelby.com – Shelby Automobiles, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc. (CSBI.PK) has returned to drag racing with a limited edition Prudhomme Edition Super Snake package for the Shelby GT500 Mustang. Carroll Shelby and Don “The Snake” Prudhomme unveiled the program during a private reception at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum in Pomona, Calif. The drag racing inspired 800 horsepower post title package was a collaboration between Shelby Autos and Don Prudhomme, who successfully drove a top fuel car for Carroll Shelby in the 1968 NHRA season.
Each year, the Automobile Club of Southern California holds a dinner to support the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum on the first night of the Kragen O’Reilly NHRA Winternationals. In honor of the fortieth anniversary of the first race that Mr. Prudhomme drove for Carroll Shelby, the Shelby Autos team unveiled the new drag racing package that they developed together over the past year.
