Motorsports legend Carroll Shelby will celebrate the inaugural Shelby 427 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race by auctioning off a 2009 Shelby 427 GT500 Super Snake with the proceeds going to the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation.

The torch red Shelby GT500 comes equipped with the Super Snake package which includes a Ford Racing Supercharger upgrade kit that enables the engine to produce over 605 horsepower and 590 ft.-lbs. of torque, an enhanced sports suspension, and several new exterior design touches. Adding to the exclusivity of this car is the fact that it is number 427, making it the last GT500 Super Snake to be produced.

The winning bidder not only receives the highly prized car but also gets two tickets to watch the Shelby 427 race on March 1 in the private Shelby suite, a meet and greet with Carroll Shelby, a tour of Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and a private tour of Shelby factory.

I still find it hard to believe that these are $100K cars. Even at $60K it's at right now, that's obscene for a Mustang.

 

600hp its not even faster than a Gallardo SE, just look at the m5board video.s

 

For that kind of $$$$ I'll have a ZR1 please. I hate to say it, as the man is a living legend...but...the Shelby name used to be synonymous with bad-ass performance cars that won races and offered amazing bang for the buck. Now his name on anything new usually means overpriced and not-so-great performance.

 

My Roush with the same blower eats Gallardos for breakfast.

Still, overpriced for what it is.

 

Lo0oL Amen

 

Carroll Shelby, while an automotive icon, would sell his dead mother if he could.
