New Mustang Owner

I am a retired IT Manager and Vietnam Era Air Force Veteran. I have owned several performance cars over the years and in fact traded in my 2015 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack for my new 2016 Mustang 5.0. In fact, this is my first Mustang. It is a premium deep impact blue with 20" wheels. The most special thing about my Mustang is I have the Hennessey HPE 700 supercharger package installed. It is giving me 718 hp at the motor and close to 600 hp at the rear wheels. I can't wait to get it on the track. It is a totally different driving experience compared to the Challenger Scat Pack. The handling and power are great! Looking forward to reading other posts.

Welcome and thanks for your service. I used to write software for a Vietnam era aircraft - the AC-130H gunship. They retired it a few years ago.

Welcome to the site, congrats & good luck with your 1st Mustang.
Curious why you went with the Hennessey HPE package, compared to other blower kits in the market ?

I chose Hennessey Performance due to their 25 years experience with adding power to a wide range of cars and trucks. I previously put a ProCharger on a Challenger and just did not get the results I wanted. They had great customer service every step of the way and I got the results I was promised. Granted it was a little pricier than I could have gotten with another performance outfit, but for me it was worth it. They also give customers a 3/36 warranty on their work. Everyone has their own preferences. On Hennessey's dynojet my Mustang registered 718hp at the motor and just short of 600hp at the rear wheels. I'll take that anytime every time.
