Shelby GT500CR Venom

HI-RES GALLERY: Shelby GT500CR Venom

Classic Recreations is in the business of building Mustangs that look like the cars of yesteryear with modern underpinnings. Their newest creation is the Shelby GT500CR Venom.

The car uses a supercharged 427 cubic-inch V-8 (the hardware is a ProCharger F1-R centrifugal supercharger) to put out 790 horsepower, all while retaining classic Mustang looks.

That power gets to the ground through a Tremec manual transmission. The 9-inch rear end has a 3.50 gear ratio and Positraction. Steering is rack and pinion, and there is a tilt steering column.

Additional upgrades include wider wheels and tires, race-style bucket seats, Venom interior badging, and a 200 mph speedometer. There are also Shelby gauges, an aluminum steering wheel, Simpson 5-point seatbelts, A/C, a 1967 dashboard and door trim, a Shelby console and floormats, a Pioneer CD system, a 100-watt amplifier, a fuel cell, sequential taillights, 14-inch cross-drilled brake rotors, six-piston front and rear brake calipers, a MSD ignition, a dual exhaust, stainless steel mufflers, ceramic coated headers, coilover front and rear suspension with front and rear sway bars, and other goodies.

A DVD player and automatic transmission are available, along with right-hand drive and custom options

Pricing begins at $199,000.

Next time you spot a Shelby GT500CR Venom at a car show, you can bet it's probably not a trailer queen.
