? I sat in one with the Recaros and they a super bolstered, so much so that anyone bigger than me, 170lbs. would be a VERY tight fit.

 

I was judging by the seats in the picture. Sounds like you sat in a different one.

 

What he said!!!

 

Compared to the stock ST: All hat, no cattle.

Brakes/shocks/exhaust = maybe $3-4k, and you couldn't pay me to put ol' Shel's name on a FWD econocar (GLH excepted, that thing was raw)

Stock ST: Actually pretty cool.

 

Now this may be worthy of the Shelby name:



2013 Shelby American Super Snake Package


What is it? For drivers who just can't get enough out of their Mustangs, Shelby offers its Super Snake package, beefing up the stock ride's horsepower numbers, suspension, brakes and more.

What's hot? Besides the choice of 662 or 850 horsepower, Shelby has added a wide-body option to the package, allowing for the use of up to 355-series tires on the rear of the car.

What's not? The Shelby touch comes at a premium: The wide-body option alone runs $14,995. This kind of pricing makes the Super Snake package an option for only a small fraction of Mustang enthusiasts.

How much and when? Orders for the 2013 Super Snake package are being taken. The 662-horsepower package starts at $28,995, the 850-horsepower package starts at $39,995, and the wide-body option tacks $14,995 onto that. All prices are in addition to the cost of the base Mustang.

MSN Autos' verdict: At nearly $100,000, the Shelby American 2013 Super Snake package with the wide-body option is not for the meek, nor is it for the hobbyist. If you want to go in a straight line very fast, however, there are few ways to do it that are more fun.
