The 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake produced 635 horsepower and 581 lb-ft of torque at the wheels on a dyno, equivalent to around 750 horsepower at the crank. In traction tests, the Super Snake struggled to put its power down in first and second gears due to melting tires. Once in third gear, it accelerated rapidly. While it was faster in acceleration tests than the regular GT500, its handling and figure eight times were slightly behind the GT500 and regular Mustang GT due to its greater weight.
