LOL!!!! I own 3 mustangs and have been dying to get one of these since it was announced. $8500 (or even $7500) for this pin is an absolute joke. The sad part is they will probably sell them but I just can't understand why we put up with more $$$ for less over and over and over....

Edit - I finally figured out where the "not understanding people don't pay MSRP came from". In my example I was talking only the LE and the $7500 coment could have been interpreted as the prem model. " $8500 (or even $7500) for this pin is an absolute joke." Should read - " $8500 (or even $7500 dist price for the LE) for this pin is an absolute joke.

So what you are saying is you really believe the dist are going to be selling this for $1500 to $2K less than MSRP? It's brought up everytime as when the MSRP goes up so do our real pricing. More importantly on this pin what is present to support the price of even STLE, AC/DCLE (heck even premium), METLE, etc... The LE/Prem version is basically equivalent to a pro in my opinion. So disappointed...

I thought I was obvious in my statement but obviously it wasn't. I agree that MSRP is not what people will buy it for. What I am saying is this pin is no where near what the previous ones were for this cost. It's a way of raising profit without raising prices. Same as what the food industry does with their new box that went from 16 ounces to 14 ounces with the same price. I hope the code is awesome on this pin but the premium and LE version looks and has the feel of the same level of quality as the pro's of previous models.

That would be easy for $8.5k. Bigger SC is going to run about $4-5k depending on size and supporting mods. Should be no problem to get the rest for $4k.

Apples and oranges man. The GT 500 already has a supercharger. He's just talking about upgrading to a larger one. Already has the fuel system to support it, wont have to buy a new intake, etc. Just the actual blower itself. Since he said 120HP I'm assuming he's looking at the 2.9 whipple as it will support up to 800hp. http://www.teamjdm.com/2007-2013-shelby-gt500-whipple-2-9l-supercharger-upgade-kit/ It's $4K. Could even go with the 3.4 for $4.5K.

CF drive shaft - $1.1K http://vmptuning.com/engine-and-drivetrain/pstds-cf/
Axles seem unnecessary at that power unless he's taking it to the drag strip but that would be $500 - $1K depending on how over board you want to go. http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/MOS-A883105/Mustang-GT-GT500-Moser-31-Spline-Rear-Axles Lower end axles here but are still some real nice ones.

This is only $6.5K which would leave him $2K for the tires he spoke about or even a bigger SC. With GT 500's the big money is the ticket to entry (the car itself) after that the upgrades really aren't to bad. I've got an 04 Cobra and for about $1K I got another 100 hp to the ground. Just a pulley change, intake, and tune.

0 for 2 my friend.

The SS has the same basic engine as the corvette just detuned a bit. Both are 6.2 LS based engines. The ZL-1 has the supercharged version which is shared with the earlier Corvette ZR-1.

i wont touch the other comment but this is the cool thing about these times as the US car manufactures are getting back into the HP wars and we got a new car pin out of it.
