DarkFireGT said:yeah, those would also take the pricetag up substantially. That's a different story. But nice trylol
White05GT said:Price? "Hey, I know my car has '427' stickers on it, but do you know how much it would cost for me to actually have one that beats your car, Mr./Mrs. F-Body, Mopar, etc. person?"
This is not the argument I want to make after driving around in a high-profile (not to mention pricey-for-a-Mustang) ride.
The "nice try" part of your post is what I would say to someone driving this car.
DarkFireGT said:My point was that taking a factory mustang and adding a blower is probably cheaper than a low end 427. In order to make more than 427HP, the pricetag would be quite a bit higher. I completely agree with you. I'd rather see it with a fully built 427. That'd be sick. But not feesable at that price. Not retail, anyway.
White05GT said:The point I am apparently poorly makinghas nothing to do with cost. I guess my gripe, for lack of a better word, is the "427" in a boss-style stripe is misleading to those not familiar with the car.
Again, I'll try a real-world exchange.
Corvette owner: "How come the 427 Mustang isn't faster -- it's got a lot of motor?"
F-Body owner: "Yeah, the GM 427 makes over 500 horsepower -- the Roush sucks."
427R owner: "Guys, the stickers don't mean it has a 427 in it."
