[bornwild]

Buy a Mustang GT500?... $42000

Bolt on a factory supercharger kit?... $28000

Having 420kW at the wheels?... Priceless

Test Drive is here.

I'm not a big fan of American cars....but **** I'd have this!!

a bolt on kit costs $28k????

[Wraith]

Being old shcool and an avid V8 person, I couldn't say no to that either....

But I would much prefer a Corvette with a TT LS7 would cost a bit more though

Nice..I love the way they still use a live rear end to keep costs down :clap:

Apparently they have some special edition mustang over in the US called GT500KR(king of the road) and this SS(SuperSnake) is a special edition of the special edition KR....

So yeah....lol

It's not just a supercharger, they've tweaked a fair bit to it. Read the test drive. If only Ford AU would bring out a falcon with this engine....HSV bye bye

Might sound like a stupid question....what the heck is a live rear?

ok, it's an additional $28k for the supercharged and a bit more here and there version..

that sounds more like it..

Yep, some of the better ones which come with a warranty and emissions compliance certificate etc. so that it's all legal and you can get insurance etc. (albeit at a monstrous cost - $6000 p/a quoted to me for a TT Munro)

You can get forced induction kits for these V8's that'll give you 400kw for around 5-6k, but your on your own with the above.......
