Is it worth it?

[robvas]

Well, the car is supercharged. But for that price tag I'd rather go C8 or Shelby. Ive seen a couple supercharged Mach 1s going for less than that. Not to mention buying an aftermarket supercharged car is the very definition of sketch.

How is the Ford Performance Whipple kit 'sketch'? Other than the warranty terms as I mentioned

Lol thats my local dealership, its honestly not a bad price for the car they used some good parts, all it will need is a set of catch cans. Its been for sale for about 5-6 months so they will probably accept 75-76k for it, which would be a screamin deal.

Oh okay that makes a bit more sense knowing that it's supercharged, but yeah still not worth it in my opinion.

Yeah 75k seems a bit more reasonable, especially when you can buy a Mustang GT for around 45k then pay the dealership roughly 15k to have the same supercharger installed, and that will put the total cost of the car around $60k.

The biggest disappointment about it is that they didn't even use a Gt PP for this project. Especially considering its gets 120+ out here all summer. So this car is making 810 crank hp but it has the base radiator, no oil or trans cooler. Other than the springs they put on it, it doesnt have any of the other suspension upgrades on it that would enable it to even make good use of the extra power. If it had the performance pack, and magneride it would be worth the $80k.

It's whatever the high spec RTR car was for 2024, it's not just a GT

Those are the RTR specs, but this isn't an RTR car and doesn't come with all that. In fact, it doesn't even appear to be a PP GT.

Oh, that's shady. Looks like it only has one or two RTR parts on it. They even made the 'accessories' price line up...

 

[robvas]

Probably the same buyers who get an F150 with aftermarket wheels/tires, 4" lift, Texas badges, and pay $25,000 over MSRP

How so? The price of the parts is like 18.2k plus tax. 10k whipple, 2k apr wing, 400 apr radiator cover, 600rtr grill, 3k forged wheels 1600 tires, 100 bucks side louvers, 200 bucks tpms sensors, $300 for the lowering springs. After tax =$19,565 for parts. Lets say the whipple install is about 3k, and then another 6 hours of labor at $180 per hour for the other cosmetic bits so another $1080, 600 for the lowering springs and alignment plus tax =$5031 so total were looking at $24,596 in accessories. Price of the car plus the parts and labor comes out to $82,221. So they really arent that far off. The shady part is they are already factoring in tax on the parts and labor, but they will tax you again for the whole price of the car instead of taxing the amount of the car before all the extras. But that leaves wiggle room, 76-78k this would be a good buy if its set up the way a person wants.

At first glance I thought this was an RTR car, which also has shocks/struts, springs, swaybars, plus all the body parts. This car doesn't have nearly the same amount of parts on it.

A lot of people have posted the RTR/Shelby cars wondering why they are so much when the dealership has them listed as a Mustang GT

Fair, I spoke with the guy who built this one a while back, he would have loved to throw more parts on the car. But the owner of the dealership didn’t want to let them supercharge a gt to begin with lol so the budget wasn't very high. They do more slightly modded f150’s over at this dealer.

 

[JohnWimsey]

Hopefully this owner is here and can justify this asking price.

Over priced.
What, you are paying for a second set of wheels and you don’t get the first set and tires.
build your own it’s cheaper.
Buy a GT or Dark Horse, add the Ford Racing supercharger, wheels tires wherever you want. You will save money. The dealer is making a markup on everything they put on that car. If you buy it, add it to your total buy price, have the dealer put it on , doesn’t void warranty and it saves you a ton of money.

Thats how it always is though lol. You can build a baja truck that will perform head to head with a raptor for a hell of alot less than a raptor. But some people just like a turn key product with all the work done already.

Price of the car

What is the price of a 2024 non PP these days? I'm pretty sure you can get them 45ish?
