| Shelby CS8 Mustang |

Taking the basic package that turns a V6 Mustang into a CS6, Cenora applied it to a V8 Mustang and ended up with a CS8 - the world's first - but he didn't stop there. As we learn from this Mustang Life profile, the car was designed to be an attention-getter at shows, so things had to be kicked up a notch. In the standard CS8 package, an intercooled Paxton supercharger is used to bump the otherwise stock engine to 470 hp and 420 ft-lbs of torque. When Cenora was done, the modifications to the intake, injectors and exhaust had resulted in 476 hp and 442 ft-lbs of torque to the rears! That is awfully close to what a GT500 will do with its larger 5.4L engine.
To handle the extra power, Shelby upgrades the |
| suspension, brakes and rolling stock as well. Falken-clad 20" American Racing wheels, Baer brakes, and a Progress suspension kit make the package pretty balanced overall. This being a demonstrator, tens of thousands of dollars went into upgrades above and beyond the basic CS package. These include an Alphasonik sound system and Vivo Electronics video displays inside, a PS2 and monitor in the trunk, and an Eclipse navi/DVD head unit. There are also various upgrades to interior materials, trim and gauges as well as a massive shot nitrous system for maximum grin-factor. Although the Shelby CS8 Mustang model hasn't become a production item like the Shelby CS6 Mustang, the package is available |
| through Shelby or one of its authorized dealers. For $14,999 you get the intercooled Paxton unit, the body kit, 3.55 gears, wheels, exhaust, brakes and suspension. So for a price in the low 40s, a buyer can have a unique Shelby Mustang or for a boatload more they can have one of the most extreme Shelbys on the planet.
