Super Duty with a thousand horsepower pound-feet of torque does a burnout while towing a smokin’ Super Snake Mustang.
Shelby American has long been known for offering high performance packages for the Ford Mustang, but earlier this year, the Vegas-based tuning company announced the Shelby 1000 package for the Ford F-350 pickup. To showcase the modified Super Duty in the best way possible, a member of the Shelby American team did a wicked burnout with the beefed-up F-350 while a Shelby Super Snake Mustang did a burnout on the trailer hooked to the unique 1-ton pickup.
Shelby 1000 F-350 in Action
The video above comes to us from the YouTube channel of Jerry Heasleyand it features two high performance Ford products tuned by Shelby American smoking their tires. Up front is a new Shelby 1000 F-350 with a huge custom dual-wheel setup and behind that big truck is an open trailer. On that trailer is the newest Shelby Super Snake Mustang, which is also doing a burnout.
The video begins with the driver of the modified F-350 working to get all four rear tires spinning, but once the smoke begins to rise from those 20-inch tires, the action really picks up. The diesel engine of the 1-ton truck roars loudly enough that we can barely tell when the supercharged Mustang begins its own burnout a few seconds later.
However, as the Super Duty rolls by with 1000 lb-ft of torque keeping all of the rear tires spinning, we get a closer look at the Mustang as it roasts its own, smaller tires.
Shelby 1000 F-350 Details
When compared to the other Shelby American performance packages, the 1000 package for the F-350 is more of an appearance upgrade – although it does add some performance. The tuning package adds a cold air intake and a tune that lift the engine output to 1000 lb-ft, 65 more than stock, but this package is still emission-compliant in all 50 states.
In addition to the extra power, the Shelby 1000 F-350 gets a spread of unique exterior upgrades including the wheels, a new hood, a new front and rear bumper package, Shelby and 1000 badging all over the outside of the truck and an elaborate lighting system. On the inside, the package adds Katzkin leather, unique floor mats and a serialized dash plaque.
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
