2006 Mustang GT s/c Vs 2005 E55 Which is faster. 1/4? 70-150?

What do you guys think will be faster?

1) 2006 Mustang GT 4.6 3v with Whipple High Output Super charger. Car is a 5sp, premium package with no other options. Window sticker was $28,500 the Whipple is $6800 installed. I bought it last week for $24,500 used, car has 6,500 miles on it. ALL STOCK except for Whipple. 18x8.5 rims with 235/50/18 kdws tires. Spar removed. What do you think it dynos at?

2) 2005 E55 stock except K&N, PS2 tires. Spar removed. Car runs great. New water pumps, Water wetter added. Remember I was pulling a Vishnu BWM 335i with this E55 with ease.

Answer: Mustang pulls it from stop to start. from a dig the Wet, Snow, stock tires burn all first and second but stays in front. Freeway pulls from 70-150 Mustang pulls by 2-3 cars. I let the driver of my E55 go first every time to make sure I could get a fair idea of how the little Ford runs.

Great car for the money $24,500 for 460rwhp.

Does the s/c void the mustang's warranty?

Ran into a problem with that on a supercharged boxster I had once. It was a beast till it needed new rings at 18k mi. lol

Warranty is for 12 month/12,000 miles but my local dealer gives me full warranty even with SC on car.

As far as the bottom end. I am ordering a forged short block for it. Then I can crank the boost. It will be a 700rwhp car in a few months.

Impressive. Build-quality concerns aside, the potential that you can unlock in most large-displacement american cars for not much money is astounding.

There are a lot of american muscle clubs here in Jacksonville (big military town, seems to go hand in hand), and some of those guys are running 1000hp+ in 1980s mustangs and vettes. The things will outrun any lambo, at least in a straight line.

The guy that bought my old car from me was working on a 70s mustang that is guna be sick when he's done. He went down to the marina and picked up a complete original 427 block for cheap from a chris craft that was getting repowered with diesels. He had it bored out and the internals upgraded, and is putting a blower and NOS on it. The car must only weigh somewhere around 3000lbs. I figure that is going to be a 10 second car when finished.

pretty impressive stuff.. nice kill for the stang.

but the same goes for a Camero SS, WS6, they can made into monsters for little coin.

460RWHP out of a S/C is really almost too good to be true. I'm pretty sure it comes with an IC, IC pump, new pulleys and ECU?


Also, on the E55.. launching the car is tricky and from a roll.. you need to be on the right gear... driver needs to be considered.

It's all about the fun factor.

Enjoy your new ride. I loved my Five-liter days.
