Opinions on this supercharged GT?
Hey guys and gals! I have a tuned and catback 2016 GT, but I want your opinions on this 2005 supercharged GT, with really low miles. From photos, it looks like the mods were done right and professional. What do think of the price, miles and mods? Good deal? I know price is always negotiable. Any ideas on what it could be making, Power wise? This car has piqued my curiosity!

Since the size of the SC is left out of the description, there is no way to know what hp would be. BUT, if the PO went through the trouble of a forged bottom end, one could assume he wanted to surpass what the stock engine can safely handle for a good length of time, which is about 10 psi, 450-490 rwhp.
And as a side note: Unless you see receipts for the engine work, I would not trust what the dealership says about it.

Very true. Thanks for the input. I never believe what dealerships and salesman tell me lol. Based on photos, it looks properly built. Guess I'll find out more, in person when I look at it.

Those early s197s are pretty rough around the edges compared to even more modern versions of the chassis, not to mention the light-years difference that is the s550. Why not just spend 7K and supercharge your current ride, have the best of all worlds, power, comfort, sophistication, done and dusted.

I really appreciate your input fellas. I know the S550 is light years ahead of the S197, in terms of refinement, handling, power, etc, but the car, itself, you think the price is way high, given the kenne belle and the low miles? I had an 07 GT before, so I have had experience with them. I would love to supercharge my S550, but I'd like to save some money. Every now and again, I come to my senses and realize I don't NEED my huge car payment, and can still have a really fun car while not spending as much money. I just figured this car seems worth it to check out. Seems to have a lot of expensive work done to it. Thanks guys.
