Talking Your tuned 335i not really that powerful 2012 Mustang Shelby GT 800HP on the way.

So you thought your car is all that? Eat your heart out. These snakes will slither all over any BMW and then leave skid marks all over you. Even if you throw a huge single Turbo on your car. Might just get this instead.

Prices for the 2011 Super Snake start about $80,000 in total, including the separate purchase of a car from Ford -- a factory-produced Shelby GT500 -- and the necessary modifications.

So we're talking roughly $150,000 and no warranty? Amazing looking though.

Yeah your talking about a car that has a price tag well above the M5/6, no warranty, and we're trying to compare it to a roughly $40-$50k BMW.

Yeah does look nice though.

We have no idea how fast this thing will go. A TTRS with 5 cylinder 400 less hp but more grip and faster shifting may be faster than this. HP isn't the only way to skin a horse.

From a dig the TTRS probably is faster. That's irrelevant though. The cars are completely different, and nobody's gonna cross-shop an 800hp RWD musclecar with a 400hp AWD sportscoupe. There's way more to purchasing a car than being faster. If that was the sole factor of purchasing sportscars everyone would have a GTR.

Sure it's fast..... But where are you going to drive it?

You'll be like everybody else in their 200 mph cars...... Stuck in traffic or running with the mini vans.
