Shelby Automobiles, an owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc. (CSBI.PK) has returned to its drag racing roots with a limited edition Prudhomme Edition Super Snake package for the Shelby GT500 Mustang. Carroll Shelby and Don “The Snake” Prudhomme revealed the program during a private reception at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum in Pomona, Calif. The drag racing inspired 800 horsepower package was a collaboration between Shelby Autos and Don Prudhomme, who drove a top fuel car for Carroll Shelby in the 1968 NHRA season.
“The thing I really think is cool about this car is that you can drive it both on the track and on the street,” added Prudhomme. “It reminds me of how drag racing used to be back in the day when we would drive our cars to the drag strip, race them, and drive them home at the end of the day. That’s maybe the neatest thing about this car.”
