With all of the hype surrounding the S550 Stangs, every now and then, we tend to forget about the previous generations, the S197. Featuring an array of styles, themes and powerplants over the course of its 11-year model run, the ultimate S197 is arguably the GT500 Super Snake.
Straight out of the Shelby American workshop, and being one of the last projects that Ol’ Carroll himself commissioned, the Super Snake is bar far one of the most impressive machines to roam the earth.
As soon as it was released, Mustang enthusiasts and general car fan boys clung to the Snake like it was the second coming of all that is holy. Big power, big boost and overall impressive performance, what was not to love?
Actor Jim Caviezel happens to be a Super Snake owner. Packing all of the goodies you would typically get with a Super Snake, Jim Caviezel’s car takes thing too the next level with an upgraded blower, aftermarket wheels and a beautiful tribute to our veterans.
Quite the advocate for our veterans, especially due in large part of playing a solider in a couple of his films. It features there interesting features, too, like wider rear wheel flares, upgraded brakes and other interesting tidbits.
We don’t want to get too much into the details, because we’d rather you watch the clip above — so enjoy!
