Shelby GT500KR

Shelby Fest 2008 comes to Hermann, Missouri for its Second Annual Show Off of the most powerful factory-built Ford Mustang ever, the new GT 500 KR.



This is a great opportunity to come to Hermann Ford Mercury for one of the fastest growing car shows in the Midwest.

Shelby Fest 2008 organizer Kyle Caraway expects this year's Show Off to be triple the attendance from last years debut. "The excitement for Shelby Fest is growing in the Midwest and beyond," said Caraway. "This year's Shelby Fest is not only for the Shelby Mustang enthusiast but is a great event for the entire family to enjoy."

Shelby Fest 2008 will be displaying close to 100 Shelby Mustangs and is expecting five thousand attendees. Located less than an hour from St. Louis and Columbia, MO, Hermann provides picturesque setting for the world's most beautiful muscle car.  Concessions will be available at the event and prizes will be given away.

The KR in the name stands for "King of the Road" and once you see it, it's easy to see why. The Shelby GT500 KR Mustang features a 540 horsepower 5.4L supercharged V8 with Ford Racing Power Pack upgrade, 3.73:1 rear axle ratio, short throw shifter and a beefed up suspension. The exterior of the Shelby has a unique Carbon composite hood, 18-inch wheels and special 40th Anniversary badging along with GT500 KR striping.

There will also be Shelby Auto's newest creation, a 700+ horsepower Super Snake on hand. The 700+ hp Super Snake is Shelby Autos fastest creation yet.
