DANNY KOKER (VOICEOVER): Today, I'm
at the Shelby Heritage Center and Museum
with my good buddy, Gary Patterson.
He's showing off some of their latest
and greatest masterpieces.
Man, I already saw a gorgeous 50th anniversary
Shelby Daytona Coupe.
And I can't imagine things getting any better than that.
But if I know Shelby, they are great at topping themselves.
I can't wait to see what's next.
Look at this.
This is badass.
This is the latest Super Snake.
This car is stunning.
DANNY KOKER: For as long as Ford has been making Mustangs,
Shelby has been producing their own souped up racing versions,
giving these classic muscle cars even more muscle.
The Ford Mustang may be an American icon.
But the Shelby Mustang is an American legend.
Fast forward 50 years.
And Shelby is still keeping this tradition alive with their 2016
Mustang Super Snake.
The Shelby Super Snake name is reserved
for the most sought after and extreme modification
of the Ford Mustang platform.
With an option of up to 750 horsepower,
this thing really lives up to its name.
Add in a beautiful wide-body stance
and so much aerospace quality carbon fiber,
NASA would be jealous.
And you've got a drop-dead looker with power
under the hood to back it up.
What does something like this go for?
Your base car's going to run you,
you know, $40,000, $45,000.
And the upfit package is about $50,000.
So you're in at $100,000.
DANNY KOKER: You're at $100,000.
Yeah.
To me, that's very fairly priced on a car like this.
Oh, yeah, for a car that's that kind of power.
DANNY KOKER: The body mods on this are so tasteful.
And the car just looks so stout.
I tell you what.
I love the color combination, everything on this car--
the wheels, that gray--
that silver-gray is just gorgeous, that interior.
Well, I'm glad you like it.
Oh, it's just gorgeous.
This is a bitchin' surprise.
Yeah.
But we got something even more.
Let's go.
All right, man.
Oh, my gosh, let's go.
[LAUGHS]
Oh, my, dude.
That is the surprise.
Dude.
It is the original style, all aluminum, one of the 50,
50th anniversary Daytona.
DANNY KOKER: You're kidding me.
That's not some sort of funky wrap.
That's an aluminum car.
GARY PATTERSON: No, no, no, no, no.
That is hand form an aluminum body and spend 500 hours
polishing.
You're kidding me.
GARY PATTERSON: Oh, yeah.
DANNY KOKER: I mean, the first 50th anniversary
Shelby Daytona we saw was totally mind blowing.
But this girl looks like she could
blast off to another galaxy.
The mad geniuses here at Shelby came up with a new exterior
design made of polished aluminum that not only reduces the car's
overall body weight but also makes
it look like a piece of art.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's
the baddest car on the road?
This thing.
Gary, this car is--
I can't find the words, bro.
Well, you know what?
I can see the look on your face.
Because it's right there.
[LAUGHS] I can see it, too.
[LAUGHS]
I can sense that it is a tighter package.
So dimensionally-- - Smaller.
--she's a little smaller.
Yeah.
DANNY KOKER: So what does she come in weighing at?
About 2,100 pounds.
2,100 pounds.
Yeah.
That's nothing.
It's nothing.
That's nothing.
Yeah.
And-- and how much engine we got in this?
Well, about 500 horses.
So at 500 horse and 2,100 pounds--
Yeah.
--the power to weight ratio in this car is staggering.
Yeah.
And what you see here, 347 cubic inch small block Ford,
aluminum heads--
Oh, my, gosh.
GARY PATTERSON: --Weber carburetors,
just the same way as it was.
What would this cost?
You're going to end up with $440,000 or so in it.
DANNY KOKER: $440,000?
Yeah.
It's worth every penny.
And the ones we built in the '60s are going for $20,
$30 million.
Millions.
Yeah.
This does nothing but increase in value.
GARY PATTERSON: Right.
First try.
[CLICK]
Done.
How's it sound?
You know, I'm glad you asked that.
Why don't we take it forward here.
Now, you want to-- - Straight up Cobra latches?
Yeah.
[INAUDIBLE] straight Cobra latch.
Just hop in.
All right.
[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, yeah.
[BANG]
OK.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
You know what I love, that this
is just a 100% raw race car.
GARY PATTERSON: You got to turn the battery on.
DANNY KOKER: Safety, yeah, yeah.
GARY PATTERSON: So safety, OK?
So you can hear that. - OK.
Now, we got some power.
OK.
Now, let's kick in the fuel pumps.
[CLICK]
Right? DANNY KOKER: Love it.
Love it. - OK.
Let's see if these Webers will work.
[ENGINE REVVING]
DANNY KOKER: Oh, my gosh, man.
[LAUGHS]
[ENGINE REVVING]
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[LAUGHS]
[ENGINE REVVING]
[LAUGHS]
Man, I could just look at these Shelbys all day.
But there is nothing-- and let me tell you, I mean nothing--
like getting in one and letting it rip.
You know, every performance carmaker owes
a debt of gratitude to Shelby.
And to be able to come out here today and actually ride around
in one badass machine like that, well,
it's just a dream come true.
