Are you tired of the roof of your Mustang blocking the sound of your Coyote V8? Well, Shelby American has the car for you. In its latest series of limited edition Mustangs, Shelby American included the roofless Shelby Super Snake Speedster Edition. This exclusive Mustang was built to drive from top to bottom thanks to its unique style and the slightly inconvenient hardtop tonneau system.
To celebrate the late Carol Shelby’s 98th birthday, Shelby American is building 98 special edition Shelby Super Snake Speedsters. The power comes from a 5.0-liter supercharged Coyote V8 that produces an impressive 825 horsepower (615 kilowatts) thanks to a Whipple Supercharger.
Customers can choose between a manual transmission or automatic version of the Shelby Super Snake Speedster. Each transmission receives exclusive updates from Shelby American to help it handle the extra power, which is double the in-stock production of a normal Mustang GT. The transmission system is also reinforced to handle this power and to ensure that customers do not break their Mustangs while driving high performance.

Shelby American adds huge 6-piston front brakes and 4-piston rear brakes to help control the Shelby Super Snake Speedster’s powerful V8 engine. There is a specification tire that should help the Shelby Super Snake Speedster put power on the ground, but it is difficult to get 825 horsepower to the ground using only the rear wheels, regardless of how sticky the rubber is.
How much does it cost to have a Shelby Super Snake Speedster built by Shelby American with a 36,000-mile warranty? Well, if you’re not providing your own Mustang, be prepared to spend at least $ 133,785. For those who wish to offer their Mustang GT to Shelby American, the complete package will cost $ 80,000 in addition to the cost of their Mustang.
Would you spend more than $ 130,000 for a limited production Shelby Super Snake Speedster or would you look for a more affordable GT500?
