I've seen a supercharged 6.1 in a Challenger putting out over 800 HP... pretty sure it could compete

Only thing about that is supposedly ford put on the smallest pulley that can fit that supercharger so you would probably have to get a new supercharger right away but mustangs have one of the largest aftermarkets so it probably isn't gonna be an issue

Challengers are heavy beasts well over 4500 lbs [closer to 5000 or more i'll check it out]. i love them but i would buy a Mustang instead power to weight ratio and price the mustang wins in my book.

Nice car. My son is into Mustangs. I think to each their own. If you like something there is no problem with that. The HP is for the HP War that Ford, Dodge, & Chevy are playing to get people to buy their cars. It is all about what you what out of a car. WE don't have an Autobahn so what good is 200 mph. It would be cool to say your ride can do it, but where are you going to show it.
