Vortech gt goes down
Yep you guessed it. A rude, smack talking gt owner pulls up next to me at a light as I am minding my own business. I look over and he is like nice car man. Well nothing wrong there so I reply thanks alot. Well thats when this peanut yells over to bad you overspent on that when you could have gotten a vortech "supercharger" for way less and got alot more ponies. I am like your car looks nice, thats what I am gonna buy my daughter. Well he revs up and is like whats up. So I rev up and it's on. Turning signal goes yellow so I rev a lil and when the light goes green I am off. Well spun pretty good and he got me out of the hole thanks to traction control. But when I hit second I just pulled on him like the punk he was and by the end of third he was a bus behind and gave up I guess. Well the next light is red and there is a car infront of me and I was waiting for him to pull up next to me but he got in the turn lane and exited stage left.
Funny thing is I didn't know there was a vortech supercharger. I thought it was some import thing

Yeah the 4.6 2V doesn't seem to take well to S/C. The local Mustang club held a dyno day and invited us camaro guys out. Kid had a 01 Bullit with a Vortech S/C and put down like 280rwhp or so??? Well I don't remember but it was less than 300RWHP... was he ever pissed

280?? Are you sure. Stock for the 01 was like 240 and I would hope the S/C would get more then 40hp. I usually see aftermarkets put down around 340 but if you are correct that is just awfull. I did see a Roush owner with a Stage 3 pull 320 something. It was older and stock but he was PO'ed

But either way it is a bummer for him @ 6psi
