Pay for it in on a credit card (like many do) and you are paying interest on it, too. Adding it to the car loan usually results in a much lower interest rate.

A C6 costs a lot more and is not a Mustang. I raced a couple 08 C6's last time out at our local drag strip. All three of us were running 12.30's in the 1/4 mile that day consistently, so it was dead even all day for us.

I know because I've already read the 2010 Mustang Order Guide cover to cover. I order all of our dealership's new Mustangs, so I'm paid to know what can and can't be ordered.

Besides, if they offered a supercharger option to be installed at the factory, it would have to be EPA certified seperately at considerable expense! That is more than enough reason for Ford to relegate superchargers on the 4.6L to be done after-the-fact.

Hence why Americans are up to their ears in debt. Yours truly included.

A C6 also doesn't have a back seat, which is useful for many thing other than just a couple cramped passengers.

That GT looks lowered as well, not like the 4x4 spy shots.

although pricy as a dealer added option. A lot of people will go for it for the warranty coverage and simplicity. The more options, the better IMO. Some people shy away from the thought of buying a new car then adding performance options later. This is a great alternative.

No strut tower brace on the S/C GT. Myself, I'd rather see what the 5L and TT offerings are like before deciding which I'd want.

Hey, just had a thought here,

there are supposedly two SC options, one around 400hp and another at 500hp.

now fallow me here,

if the 4.6 makes 315hp and you slap on a SC, you're making around 400hp

now maybe instead of a different SC that adds 200hp,

there is the option to add the same SC package to and engine already making 400hp.

did i just blow your mind?

5.0 baby!

Couldn't it just be the non-cooled Whipple for 400 hp and the H.O Whipple for 500?

If the 400hp version comes with a 3 yr/36k warranty, will there be any warranty on the 500? Can you get an extended warranty, say 75k?

I bet the 400hp is warrantied and the 500hp isnt just like the Supersnake has a smiliar warranty, but with more power of course.

The 400hp blower is non-intercooled. The 500hp blower has the intercool. FRPP is using the same basic kits for the 2010 that they've been offering already for the 2005-9's - they didn't reinvent the wheel, just adapted it to the new car.

+1 Brian. Plus, it would most likely come with a gas-guzzler tax, and would really screw up Ford's CAFE standings if it came from the factory! Its not an option from the factory people, TRUST US!!!
