This could mean 2 things;
-There will be more F/I mustangs on the road.
-There will be more mustang memes on the internet.

That's pretty awesome!

Yes, the downside is that because all that performance is easily accessible for the masses to purchase...yllwneck86 pretty much sums it up.

That's stupid cheap.

I just cranked the options up on a GT premium and on that car I'd barely be over $50K with that equipment.

Just figure that if it uses a stock clutch that it will last between 30 and 40 minutes.

I stand corrected... Summit has an 800hp clutch for that car for $752.

Oh how I am tempted........

Holy ****, I've been thinking about breaking my streak of JDM cars to go for some muscle. This would be awesome!

I'm guilting of making the memes, but still this has got me thinking...

I'm still not entirely sure how the warranty works on this car. It doesn't look like the Ford factory warranty applies.

I'm still a skeptic as to if its making the advertised 727hp. A lot of these aftermarket tuner cars run slower quarter mile times than what the rated horsepower suggests they should run.

Still for $39k that is a steal, a base Mustang GT is $32,395 and the Roush Supercharger kit(according to the Rousch website) is $7549.99 They must be getting their parts or the cars themselves for cheap, because there is about 12 hours worth of labor/wrenching to bolt on the supercharger(12 hours is what it says on the Roush site)

From a quick glance on their website there's a $750 rebate that they're including.

Figure 12 hours at $110 an hour internal.. that's $1,320. Knock the $750 rebate off of that and they're discounting the car $5-600 if that.

They're doing quite all right with this deal

not to mention they can probably cut way down on the 12 hour time if they have the install down pat.

670hp here....

Man you have to give Ford, Roush, and this dealer some real credit when you compare the price to a Camaro SS.

GM went way up on the price of the 2016 Camaro, the 1SS, cheapest V8 Camaro is $37,295, the 2SS with leather and all the luxury options starts at $42,000. I've read the chassis/handling on the Camaro SS is better, along with it being noticably faster than the Mustang GT, but IMO its not a better car than the Mustang, you can't see out of it and the interior design doesn't hold a candle to the Mustang.

I'm wondering if the $39,000 Supercharged Mustang is faster than the new GT350. I'm betting it is, even if its not making the claimed "727hp"
