Okay Experts.   ;D   You can now have a crack at this one.  If still not solved, in one week, it's time to give the Pros a shot.   :yuck:

Classic Recreations 1967 Shelby GT500CR?


Well, that was quick.  You're almost there.  It is by Classic Creations and it's a replica of the classic Shelby GT500.  However, there's something missing.  It's not the standard GT500CR but this new model adds a bit of edge and even more power to create a muscle car that can literally stop our hearts.  What's missing?  I'll lock it for you for 24 hours.   :)

It's the Venom, with a supercharged 427...780 HP!

Yep.  That would be it.  And it's even licensed by Shelby with Carroll's signature on the dashboard of each car.    :applause: :car: :yeah:

The latest is the G.T.500CR, patterned after the 1967 Shelby and billed as being, "an incredible combo of retro looks and high-tech handling," by its maker. Until recently, it was offered in two forms: Intro and Performance, both of which rely on 427-inch versions of the Ford Windsor V-8, topped with electronic fuel injection and making 545hp, backed with Tremec manual transmissions and 9-inch Ford-type rear axles. Chassis refinements include rack-and-pinion steering and Shelby/Baer braking; Intro models receive coil-over front suspension while the Performance version also gets a coil-over arrangement at the rear.

Now Classic Recreations is introducing what may be the ultimate iteration of its G.T.500CR continuation series: The Venom, featuring a 780hp supercharged 427 engine, using an intercooled ProCharger system offering 21PSI boost levels. The rear axle is also upgraded to a Fab-9 housing and fitted with 3.50:1 gears, while the stock-type front suspension is replaced with a Rod and Custom Motorsports Mustang II coil-over system; in the rear, a Total Control Performance G-Link coil-over suspension replaces the factory leaf-spring arrangement. All G.T.500CR models use Shelby 427 17×8-inch front wheels, though the Venom stretches the rear widths all the way to 11 inches.

Do you supposed it's fast?   :o
