If it does have some sort of Clutch engagement... it would be really nice to rig a switch to activate it. I mean if you are on a long trip or just going for groceries, you could switch off the supercharge and increase your MPG.
Yes i know you don't buy a car like this for MPG, but why not have your cake and eat it to. I know the Super Stallion concept car had a switch for the supercharger.

You could also do your favorite re-enactment of Mad Max with a switch to activate the supercharger!!

The roots blower would have a built in bypass valve to allow the air to loop back to the S/C intake for efficient cruising. This bypass would have to be closed by a solenoid to make boost.

Mark S--I have tried to buy 2 different GT's from them and they love to try to throw in a $3000-$5000 markup on everything they sell so no I have never done business with them and never will. My '07 is doing fine--300 miles since Sept. with no complaints. Since I don't live in the dealership showroom of the place I got mine from or have spy cameras on their property for 24 hour up to date info on their car care habits I have no idea how mine was treated and I am sure NO ONE else on here really knows how their car was treated before the sale at their dealership either. TexaStang and Gearhead--I agree totally with those statements. Tostang--You seem like you have a better grip on reality than most on here. I wasn't present when the crime against humanity...carmanity happened. Dad heard it from the guys nephew and I am sure he will razz the guy over it. He thought it was dumb to but I don't think he will need threapy being exposed to the knowledge of such a pure evil act. Maybe the nephew should have opened the door and dragged his feet and sacrifice his legs to keep the car under 55 but sadly for the defenseless Shelby but the coward didn't. So for the small percentage of you who post here who get emotioally upset and boiling mad over the treatment of a car that you will never be around or ever purchase get away from the computer for a while and get some fresh air. I am sure others reading all these post can point you out and will get a laugh out of you like I have and will continue to do so. Spend more time with your families and friends if they can stand to be around you. Buy a dog. Adopt a child so you can screw them up and then really have something to be upset about. Get some new hobbies because you obviously have too much time to kill. I see why alot of people don't bother posting on message boards wheather it is to help someone else or to relay a story or incident that relates to the hobby because that small percentage of people who need attention from somewhere in their life will always use a forum to get it because is a great safe place to criticize a total stranger infront of others to get that attention. Now you got it go and find the next thread to hijack and hop on your soapbox and beat you chest while the rest of us try to go about enjoying our hobbies and life in general in the real world.

I'm with you 2006stang some people on here are tight asses, just trying to share a story and people get all crazy
. I went to about six different dealerships before I bought my car and I test drove the crap out of a bunch of gt's, so did the salesman's.

I know you meant this as a joke but that's the first thing that popped in my mind...and IT WOULD BE AWESOME. I grew up watching that whole series (Mad Max is best)...I even noticed he was in a Mustang (73?). Sweet Lord that was a great scene! Almost as good as Vanishing Point.

If you ask me, the best car to come into the US and replace the Crown Vic, Fusion, and 500 would be the Falcon. The Falcon could also compete against the 300 / Magnum / and Charger along with the Imapala V8 that is coming out soon.

"What were you doing going 85mph back there?"
"Slowing down."
Cop actually let me off with a warning, don't know whether he appreciated the honesty (I could tell he was bracing himself for a load of the usual BS excuses) or the just-waxed, burgundy-red Jag V12 convertible gleaming in the morning sunlight.
