You will want to blow past the first 5 minutes but after that this is very interesting.

Some nice hardware on that thing.

Indeed. Some very nice parts on the vehicle. They have done a lot of work. So much for it's a tacked-on piece on a 5.0.

If you really look at the parts list for any of the Shelbys, there are many components that go into the builds, well beyond graphics and appearance parts. I looked at a 2020 Supersnake, and it had everything that was done @ Shelby. The list was rather impressive, right down to the Ford-reinforced half shafts(Shelby branded), along with many other suspension and reinforcement parts.

Here is a pic of the list.

What about the new GT350

What about the new GT350

I would guess it has the same parts added. In truth, I have not looked; I simply do not want to pay that amount. There is a GT350 near me, 2025, for 125k. That was out of the range of what I wanted to do. I am pretty happy with what I came up with, see the Dark Horse WarHorse thread.

You can jump on Shelby.com, I believe they have a full rundown of their builds. Even what I posted above, they wanted 94k for that vehicle, and it had 15k miles. Another Shelby speedster 2021, with 2600 miles, is going for 109k. What put me off both of these vehicles, beyond pricing, is that I wanted a manual, and these were automatics. I do think the 2025 GT350 was a manual, though.

I looked before, seems like a kit with some Ford Performance lower springs and a short throw. Should be a cheaper package like the old Shelby GT. (RTR Spec 2, Saleen white label price)

btw awesome name for your Dark Horse

@MaddNomad : I was curious about what the GT350 packages are now, so I went and took a look. This is from the website. Build price: 128,725. Grabber Blue, CF Wing. See below.

The SuperSnake has more pieces included, (I feel the GT350 should also have it). Below is a part list for it. Price:176,835.
