[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 15805000, member: 9628"] Was the Code Red based on a Mustang GT500 or GT? I purchased my 2008 GT500 in mid-2008, two weeks after the 2008 GT500 production ended and Ford was getting ready to build the 2009's. <<By that time the Super Snake build wait time was 1 year out, and the original 2007 Super Snake prototype 725 that Gary Patterson campaigned had already been through many magazines and run a 10.87 @ 134mph for Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords with a simple rear tire change. Unless the Code Red was something pre-2007, the Super Snake wait list and cars being built was well along in production soon (within a few months) after the 2007 GT500's came out at Ford. If the Code Red was based on the GT500, I could see where it's development could have realistically have become the S1000 that came along in 2011 or so.....and maybe even the Shelby Motorsports upgrades that were eventually available for the Super Snake to 900 and 1000hp packages beyond 50 state emissions legal build of the production Super Snake. Many people forget, the Super Snakes, first of all have to be 50 state emissions legal coming from an automobile builder like Shelby, so all cars only get a catback change, no long tubes or other exhaust changes ahead of the catback...........50 state emissions legal. <<After the car is built to those requirements, then an owner can choose to have his Super Snake upgraded further and pay the extra $$$$, but then the car may not be emissions legal in some states, I believe those after 50 state emissions changes are deemed "off-road".
