Heaven only knows what kind of mods the blue-painted car in the following video hides under the skin, but it has utterly demolished another Shelby GT500 on the strip. It I were to guesstimate, the slitherin serpent is probably packing more than 1,000 horsepower and an upgraded clutch pack for the dual-clutch transmission to support the higher torque rating.
Filmed by Drag Racing and Car Stuff at the Palm Beach International Raceway, the race ends in 9.7 seconds at 149 miles per hour (239.8 kph) while the stock sibling crosses the line in 10.6 seconds at 141 miles per hour (226.9 kph). Against a tuned Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, the time slips are pretty darn close at 9.8 versus 9.9 seconds at 149 and 141.5 miles per hour (239.8 and 227.7 kph), respectively.
