Ford is not playing any games with the new 5.0. That 624 hp 5.0 could hang with ZR1. However, even with the 525 hp option, you only get a 12 month warranty. I don't think the average consumer will buy this package. Only the hardcore Mustang enthusiast will spend the cash. I would love to drive one.

Thats cool and all but wouldn't it be better to just buy a used gt500 for the same price or less??

Where are you getting $9k? How much do you think a Magnacharger kit for a 20010 Camaro SS costs?

I think this is a great system for the Mustang. The warranty makes it that much better.

You are right, because GM offers a better deal, right? Thats another kickass move by Ford.

Point me to GM part number that offers this for the Camaro along with a warranty

You really have no clue as to how much a FI setup costs because thats quite an ignorant, illogical comment.

Looks like a whipple. For a 2.3 liquid cooled Twin screw, 7.5k isn't bad at all. Since it is through Ford Parts, you could add it as an option and still finance.

Does the new 5.0 have the same bore as the 4.6?

You can order a SLP 585/560 hp Camaro for about the price of the GT500. Come with the GM 5yr/100k powertrain warranty

Wrong. Its a SLP warranty, not from GM, and we all know just how good SLP is.

$34k starting price on 2SS
$25k price for that kit
= ~$60k

My 2010 GT500 has every single option available and it was $47.5k before TT&L
Granted, 2011s might be just a little more expensive and there's always the 1SS option for Camaros, I wouldn't say they're the same price.

Really? Whats wrong with having one if it offered from the manufacturer, say that they are for Nancy Boys and turn it down? Weak argument dude.

Thanks chaman! I've always loved your ride. Hard work pays off

One day I'll be back in a Chevy via Z06 Carbon or ZR1, when I can afford it.

624hp is pretty impressive on 9 pounds, for those who don't want to buy a new expensive package like that they can always opt for the new 2011 truck motor exact same motor but 10:5:1 compression would be pretty ideal for a little shot of the good stuff.

It literally says $8,099 for the higher HP package ( I rounded up) but anyway I knew that the camaro S/C was that much, im just sayin that its dumb when you could buy a GT500 like 99camvanillatop said.

1 year warranty? That **** will fly by in a heartbeat, Ive seen your post in the 5th gen section and your nothing but a douchebag hater. Yeah this whole kit thing is nice but there are also kits for the 10/11 for around 6k from a few vendors on actual 5th gen websites. There is no doubt the new 5.0 is a sweet motor but this supercharge option isn't as great as it seems when you can get a gt500 like i said at the same prices or less with a full/remaining Warranty if you wanted......

A 2011 GT500 stickers for about $16k more than a 2011 GT.

$16k - $9k = $7k

Some people would prefer to have $7k to spend elsewhere (i.e. - vacation, home repairs/upgrades, daily driver, motorcycle, jetski, lower monthly expenses, 350 table dances, etc.)

Honestly, I'd probably opt for a slightly used GT500 too, but some people prefer a new car. I know the remaining warranty on a GT500 would be gone almost instantly anway after I purchased it, so the warranty is a non-issue for me.
