Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake

Mustangs are a common site, but every now and then, one really stands out to catch my eye.  Jared's 2010 Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake was more than eye catching, it reached out and punched me in the face.  In 2010, this was the fastest production convertible every made.  The 750 hp supercharged V8 could snap to 6o in about 4 seconds, and look good doing it. With all that power and savagery, the cockpit is surprisingly refined.  The seats are comfortable, wrapped in leather with stitched in Shelby logos, and the dash is clean and simple. It's a nice place to be.  The exterior is muscular, with carbon fiber trim, a large air-scoop sculpted into the bonnet, and huge sticky tires to make sure all that power makes it to the ground.  I tried my best to capture the essence of the car in a series of photos at the local concrete factory.  It felt like the perfect spot to show the blue-collar heritage of this refined beast.
