Play with me for a bit

The most expensive 2024/2025 Mustang you can buy, assuming a Dark Horse with a Whipple and all the extras, totals just under $100K. So lets assume that is the top price, which excludes 99% of what one could call an exotic.

Further, which that in mind, doing a bit of research, you’ll find out that specific Mustang model is a 99% vehicle. In other words, it is as faster to 60 MPH than 99% of the vehicles on the road. The begs the question, where does the standard GT and Eco-Boost stand? The answer is not scientific, but based on a few car mags specs, plus a few off-line figures with questionable figures. Nonetheless, the numbers are interesting, but I will not attest my data is dead accurate. So add your estimated.

Standard model 2024/2025 Mustang GT is a 93%.

Standard model 2024/2025 Eco-Boost at 87%.

Even assuming a ±10%, I think we’re all in a class by ourselves!

Help me a little bit here with your premise. I was unaware that you could buy a Dark Horse with a Whipple factory installed. Sure you could build one but you could also build one up to $200K if you so desired, much less $100K. Not the same as “buying” one.

You cant. They are dealer installed after the fact.

There is also that special dark whores with the CF wheels thats like $92k.

I didn't say you could buy a DH with a factory-installed Whipple, but I alluded to this fact: If you install one on a DH, you end up literally with a pony car that'll run with the very best of the exotics. And I dare say, at a fraction of the upkeep. Even a lowly Eco-Boost isn't a vehicle to scoff at, and those that do miss the point.

How loud are the valves ticking?

I’m 99.9% sure it’s in very very good condition. Needed to be unloaded .

Kind of implies it, wouldn’t you say?

IIRC the Feds made it illegal to modify the car before it was sold, it has to be done after the fact

You don't see cars sent to Roush to be upfitted anymore, at least not with heavy engine mods, they are done at authorized dealers.

I'm not taking a used car ad for a car at a Dodge dealership at face value.

Yes Ford does do supercharged cars, but those cars are EPA certified right?

I'm sure he meant horse.

With the high dollar CF wheels... I think he got it right...

Most expensive Mustang, Shelby Super Snake. Upwards of $170K. Get one before Ayatoilet Kakamaimi blows us up. If we didn't get the little rat already.

I would say if all was equal and all cars compared were factory sealed/ stock, this is pretty on par. However; if you take the same calculations within the car enthusiasts community, a stock Eco, GT, or DH is quick but not impressive (straight line speed/ acceleration). Adding a supercharger ups your level for sure. On the street, even with a whipple for example, there are few stock 100kish AWD cars that will smash you or potentially smash you from light to light. Maybe a different result on the track with stickier tires, proper setup, a good driver, etc.... but most don't go to the track.

Eh. still heavy and not as rigid as 'exotics'.

Instead of trying to cope and attempt to compare to other cars, we should just accept that this car is simply a Mustang. We bought it because of the engine, or the tremec, or whatever else.

Stating that by 'simply installing a whipple will allow it run with the best of them' is bascially the same as V6 owners years ago claiming 'all it needs is a turbo and it'll be faster than the V8'. Its silly.

Appreciate your car for what it is, not for what it could loosely be compared to. There is far far more that goes into those supercars than just power.
