800hp with a full warranty. Nice.

There is no powertrain warranty at the 800hp level

[Gargamel]

Per the report:

Shelby provides no warranty on the engine and transmission, in either case.

[Rafa]

badass..but sucks about no warranty on engine or tranny

[mstng86]

I don't see a warranty in the article.

[Wicked98Snake]

Don't know if you guys know this but I don't think the engine or trans.

[Steve]

It was my understanding that a warranty can be purchased at the dealerships still, its Shelby that won't warranty them.

Wonder how long the powertrain would hold up at 800hp before it frags? There is a reason there is no powertrain warranty. Pretty lame IMO.

The motor and transmission will handle the power just fine. There are plenty of GT500's running around with KB 2.8's and Whipple 3.4's (and now 4.0's) running around make over 700rw on stock longblocks and transmissions. The stock clutches need to be upgraded is all, which is obviously done on the SuperSnake.

Certainly nothing for a sandbagging blown C6 Vette, but I bet it's still alot of fun drive.

OK, so a 630hp Super Snake starts at $80,000 and then who knows how much more to get to 800HP which is a current option. When you opt for the 750 hp or 800 hp it voids or gets rid of any drivetrin warrenty.
So why not spend $52K on a regular one, $7000 for the big blower, $1000 for fuel mods, $800 for a clutch that can hold it and spend the rest on a Fuzion Sport 3.5 AWD for a DD and two high class call girls and party favors?
You would have the same performance, a sweet cruizer and a happy ending.

Because then you can't brag that you overpaid for an 800hp Shelby Super Snake.
