Well turbos make more power, and superchargers aren't as much stress on the engine. That's how I've always thought about it.

Idk...id rather have a 400+ horsepower turbo v6 then a 290 horsepower v8...I mean sure if you already don't have a stang, start with a v8 if possible.....but from a price point it would be smarter to buy a turbo rather than a slower v8 that you will have to spend more money to make as fast as a turbo sixxer...it just depends what you want...

Turbo+ tranny+ stronger internals+ fatter tires+ 8.5 rearend with posi+ plus all the other odds and ends and supporting mods+ plus install... that is a sh*t ton of money....There is no way you can get 400 rwhp with stock internals, and stock driveline. Well you may... but it would be a ticking time bomb.

Well I guess a better way to say it is, why would anyone in the right mind supercharge a GT? I mean they should just buy a GT500, or Cobra...it's all about what you want to do..

Gt is just a better base, gt500 I's an even better base. You will reach your engines limit and the gt will just be getting started. Shoot, trade for a termi. Close to 400 HP stock and its blown.

Supercharger has less moving parts, and
Instant power.
