The car your seeing is a prototype which means this Mustang is subject to changes like the steering wheel logo. I'm also not sure if you realize Shelby American will only be manufacturing 250 Super Snakes. Regarding the next GT500. Ford announced in Dearborn MI during the introduction of the S650 Mustang that the new S650 GT500 would be introduced in 2025 as a 2026 model.

[@SOLODRIVEN]

Thank for the comment! Man I certainly hope they add the snake to the steering wheel. I also noticed they mentioned they’re only making that many for North America whatever that means haha Thanks for the info on the gt500, that’s not too far from now, I know they’re not going to disappoint performance wise 🔥

[@210SpeedClinic]

Ayyy man, you said it yourself, they threw the pony on the steering wheel to remind you that you’re in a glorified 5.0 😂

[@SOLODRIVEN]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 damn

[@Falcon-mc5fs]

I think not having a tremec at that price is foolish. The styling is awesome.

[@SOLODRIVEN]

Yeah and no forged internals unfortunately. I still love the car tho 🖤

[@SVTTAY]

I like the vid. How were you able to get the animation of your cobra at the end of your other videos? I’m very interested. Thanks

[@zgblundell]

Me personally, I would spend the money on a 6 speed trans GT with a whipple supercharger and a Tremec transmission with brenbo brakes and suspension upgrades. I know it is not a Shelby, but it would be close and save about 100k

[@SOLODRIVEN]

True

[@johnnyrock852]

I believe what you said about steering wheel. I believe sport seats are an option on the base car, so Shelby probably has a plan for that. I haven't seen a cost on the car, but 150k seems about right, if not a bit moore. I am pricing a new Saleen with about every option and it is comparable in price. I think the engine is stock motor to keep from having to recertify car for smog legality. It would have delayed production and probably drove cost up even more. I mean 800 plus on the street and 50 state legal is impressive.

[@SOLODRIVEN]

I never thought about the smog that’s a good point. The problem is I don’t believe the gt has forged internals like the gt500s are known to have and they didn’t mention anything about changing the internals for the new super snake. I still love the car, let’s hope for a fair price haha

[@sledge7583]

At least we owners of 03/04 cobras have cobra on our steering wheel. Yeah my shelby gt 500 is n nice, but the terminator rules.

[@SOLODRIVEN]

🐍🐍🐍

[@rolanddelossantos6404]

Agree with your sentiments. Amazing car, but the value for the price isn't there IMO. Good, bad, or indifferent FoMoCo own the GT350 and GT500 marques and I don't think they're going let them go to waste. If I was in the market, I'd wait for a new Shelby variant. That Cobra emblem on the car carries a lot of weight to a lot of people. Great content as usual.

[@SOLODRIVEN]

I would do the same, cobra and Shelby are made hand in hand with premium performance and it doesn’t work if one is without the other. Thanks brother 🤘🏼

[@CrushingMight]

Unreal, all that money, and they still make you feel basic inside 😂❤

[@SOLODRIVEN]

Lmao 🤣

[@MaddNomad1015]

You can tell Vince from Shelby sees all these videos because on the recent Larry Chen video he was talking about how Ford vehicles aren’t real Shelby’s, just licensed cars. Lmao

[@SOLODRIVEN]

I loved that video, he went into great detail about the design of the car and everything they did. You can tell he’s a hands on car guy 🔥💪🏼 hopefully he doesn’t feel I was too harsh with my constructive criticism 😅

[@AJS24DH]

Just curious 😂 but I’m pretty sure it’s a 2025 Shelby 🤷🏻

[@SOLODRIVEN]

They introduced it as the 2024 Shelby so that’s what I went with haha I’m thinking they’ll be available some time mid or late this year.

[@Theguys1212]

Do we know if they are putting better internals in the motor then the stock 5.0? I honestly agree with what you are saying but I do not think it is worth over $70. I could go buy a 2023 GT500 for 90k so why would anyone want to pay that much more for basically a GT???? It is crazy

[@SOLODRIVEN]

I don’t want to say 100% they’re not but 99.9% they’re running stock internals since I know they would’ve been bragging about it. And yeah I think ppl would much rather buy a 2020 gt500 and have over 50k leftover for mods.

[@fsujmm]

You are paying for the Name and serial number. Not worth that amount of money, IMO.

[@SOLODRIVEN]

@@fsujmm I agree with you to a certain extent but I do think you are indeed getting more than just that. It’s a collector car but the part that kills it for me is the 5.0 motor which doesn’t come with forged internals. Still love the car

[@denzelbutler6713]

Yur sorite man what the hell could they have been thinking to mistake a Pony for a King Cobra Snake on that steering wheel Lol

[@SOLODRIVEN]

Hahaha right! Hopefully they see the video and change it lol

[@moriorinvictus6522]

All those mistakes you said are cheap for them to correct I agree with you $150 for a scooped up gt screw it build,your own get One for 50k brand new and drop 50 in body kit engine work custom interior suspension…

[@SOLODRIVEN]

Yeah man hopefully they change those little things, I think it’ll go a long way 💪🏼

[@wroman786]

Facts ! How do they go through all that and put a dang horse 🐎 on the airbag ? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@SOLODRIVEN]

Haha I know right. I just found out the one we have been seeing is a “prototype” so things are subject to change which is good news. Hopefully they put the snake on the wheel 🔥

[@wroman786]

@@SOLODRIVEN Think all the super snakes have the horse. Even the F-150 just have a ford emblem on the airbag

[@user-xb5zs2gr4h]

❤😂😢🎉😢😢😅😅😊😊😊😊😊 and also I’ve left out. I had a fox body Mustang and that damn thing was fast. I even let my friend drove it and it scared the shit out of him and he shit his pants so he had to go home and change and get back in the car and, other people in my car keep up the good work with the Mustang peace brother

[@SOLODRIVEN]

Hahaha that’s how you do it. Thanks brother

[@jeffreystelling3395]

I agree with the steering wheel. Should've had a cobra 🐍 badge on it.

[@SOLODRIVEN]

100% 💪🏼

[@jeffreystelling3395]

@@SOLODRIVEN especially considering they're only making a select few.

[@doctorj7112]

Very true! You have this Bad Azz car with snakes all around with a Pony on the middle steering wheel; I agree with your points. The LITTLE things make BIG differences.

[@SOLODRIVEN]

Yes sir! Someone commented that the car they displayed was a “prototype” so if it is hopefully they make that minor change, I think it’ll be worth it.

[@FirstLast-ji3dr]

I agree 💯

[@SOLODRIVEN]

That snake is a big one for me lol

[@rldeppe1]

Lol. Same 5.0 and same whipple that you can put on the GT. And the only blower you can put on a s650. They should have put the voodoo or something else in it. And for stupid money. They will be GTs with whipples donkey stomping them 150k plus super snake.

[@SOLODRIVEN]

I agree. That’s why I believe the only ppl that will buy the cars are folks that have throw away money for essentially is the best looking mustang gt the world has ever laid eyes on. I still love the car 🖤

[@rldeppe1]

I get it but no one is perfect brother, not even you lol I have a hearing loss from birth that inherited me a speech impediment. Still not gonna stop me from doing what I love 💪🏼🫡🖤

❤😂🎉🎉😢😢😢😮😅😊😊😊😊 bro least you’re doing a video for Ford instead of a piece of shit Dodge and the piece of shit Toyota. I had both of those and their junk as hell. I had a lot of Fords. I beat the shit out of them and he still run so keep up the good take care. Have a good weekend.

[@LongStroke01]

Not a Snake! And you cannot tune it...Thumbs down.

[@SOLODRIVEN]

Haha….What do you mean by you cannot tune it? Pretty sure there’s a loop around it where you can

[@LongStroke01]

@@SOLODRIVEN It cannot be tuned. It might take a couple of years for that to happen.. 2024 and up cars have locked ECUs.

[@SOLODRIVEN]

Pretty sure these tuner will figure that out quickly they always have. Plus you can always go standalone
