If you're referring to "Super Snake", it's a retro name. Shelby built two Cobra "Super Snakes" back in the 60's. One for himself, and one for Bill Cosby.

Bill Cosby sold his to a guy that killed it, and himself while attempting to "drive it like you stole it".
The current Shelby GT500s are going for $10-20 grand over sticker, and there are thousands of them. There will only be 1000 GT500KRs, so I figure they will be MSRP + $25 grand and up.
These Super Snakes are going to be rare and VERY expensive.
The 2009 Mustangs are going to be freshened up a bit visually and should have at least 350hp in GT trim.

That was an AC Cobra, this is a Shelby Mustang. Quite a difference between a 2 seater roadster and a pony car.

That was a Shelby Super Snake (which was indeed based on an AC Cobra). If you had read the previous few posts, you'd know that, and you'd know that we know that.

There have also been Super Snake GT500's. Shelby made 1 in 67 and then Unique Performance started building them for him around 2004 using the old bodies.

http://www.fast-autos.net/vehicles/S...ang_GT-500_SS/

The 1967 GT500 Shelby Mustang 427 Shelby “Super Snake”, VIN# 67402F4A00544, is a special model built at Shelby American for Mel Burns Ford. Intended to be the first of 50 but no other Super Snake was built due to the retail price of $7,500 and a 427 Cobra could be bought for roughly the same amount. Driven by Carroll Shelby at Goodyear test track in Texas for tire promotion film production. Carroll recorded lap speeds over 150 mph and top speed of 170 mph! The car is listed in the Shelby American World Registry-1997. This one of a kind Shelby was factory equipped with a unique blue narrow-wide-narrow Le mans Stripes; powered by a lightweight 427 medium-riser engine with aluminum heads, tuned headers, 780 CFM Holley 4V carb, aluminum intake, oil cooler, remote filter, 4 speed trans backed up by a 4.11 Detroit locker rear end.

I wouldn't get the KR, I'd buy a Shelby GT500 and get the SS treatment. (love using the Chevy nomenclature)
