2016 Shelby Super Snake Review - Charming the Right Serpent

I’m not a “tuner” kinda guy. There, I said it. It’s a load off my mind. It’s not that I don’t like extra power, or a different suspension tune, I just prefer parts made by the company that made my car and I like the car to look “stock.”

We're all forced to pay for government mandates, whether we want them or not. For example, too many people were too lazy to check their tire pressure, so now we all have to pay for TPMS. ADAS features all cost a bundle and it's no wonder that new cars are so costly.
