Not sure what this was..**UPDATE I DON'T BELIEVE**
Heading home from work (quickly) about 7hrs early (thanks Chron's), and I see this mustang. It looks like a GT but with a sort of CS package (It was an actual GT with Sportster imprinted in all the GT decal spots).
He caught up to me rather quickly, and was trying to talk (on the hwy). I have an open dump and couldn't hear shit but his downshift. I followed suit while loking into an evil grin of whom I would assume to be his father/mechanic. I hear the all to familiar sound of my Good old ole' 2004 GTP (a supercharger). I got the jump, and began pulling pretty good but luckily I brake boosted and that lead ended rather quickly (started around 80mph). I run him down pretty hard, he looks astonished as I pass him on his right, and he just SMASHED the brakes.
He caught back up, and we did it again; this time me giving hime the jump only to come to the same results.
I have no idea what this car is; I've googled, and I am left to assume
A: I was hearing things, and it's a sightly modded GT
B: Some GT with a supercharger and no supporting mods
C: Some GT with a supercharger from the factory, but not a cobra..
Did it look like this:
I haven't heard the first thing about a 4cyl Mustang. Doesn't mean there won't be one, but It's a lot more likely that you just saw a modified current model.
According to the Roush website, the standard one has 300hp, and the supercharger is optional.
This one was def. supercharged; I could hear it (even while my dump was open).
I had to think about it for a minute. I have enough mods to run with an SRT8, and this thing probably weighs the same or a little less (Vert + body cladding prob. 3900lbs).
I'm not so surprised anymore; just intrigued on what my car can do.
Lol....open dump? You are on stock turbo right?? Depending on how good your car runs, I don't see any reason why you couldn't hang with the 300hp version. Now the 400+ version....There is a big BIG BIG difference between 300hp and 400hp. If your car beat it, either he is a shitty driver, or your brake boosting gave you an extra 100 horses to play with.
Not really sure about that. I put a pretty good hurtin' on my cousin with his 06GT (CAI, X-pipe, headers, and tune)...
I've have pulled on an srt8; it's prob. the cool 70 deg. weather along with methanol/water injection that's giving me all my timming and zero knock = a nice little beast.
U must didn't see the stage 2 at the end of my sig...
