Why? I think it's a good question especially from those "who aren't in the know."

That's some serious boost. You'll need a torque converter (auto) or a clutch (manual) drive shaft? 8.8 gears? GT suspension? money pit?

There is a lot of stupid quotes from members I respect on here... not to mention the first post

Legion "vortech is the worst supercharger" - centris have pros and cons, vortech is not the worst blower out there, i dont know what experience you have with vortech but i am a satisfied customer.
Margarita - what are 8.8 gears? gt suspension is 99% the same as v6...(youre still probably hot if youd ever show more of your face)

the whole idea of adding just a s/c to a v6 beating a s/c gt500 is absurd. a s/c v6 is barely beating slightly modified GT or even stock GT really. How the hell it is going to beat a car that runs circles around the GTs?

Common sense should kick in at somepoint and say "hey, this guy is feeding me bull****"....

Now, as pointed out, there are people that put alot more than just a blower on and can whoop up on a stock GT500, but that isnt not what the OP is considering.

Yeah, this never gets old man...

For those who care... Justin at VMP tuning had his sixxer faster than his stock Shelby.
But you have to pack a lot of boost...
It was with the Vortech. He's running the boost at 16lbs, that nets him 398rwhp.
He was faster than the GT500 with 13lbs already.
So yeah, it's a good thing that Vortechs are the worst of the Centris.

Of course, as soon as he opened the hood of his Shelby, it was all over for the V6.
That V6 is his wife DD, lol.

V6 has 7.5in rear axle vs the GT 8.8in.
V6 HAS A 28.6mm front stabilizer bar vs GT 34mm
V6 has no rear stabilizer bar vs GT 22mm solid
V6 has 290mm vented disk front brakes, GT has 316mm
V6 has T5 manual tranny and GT has TR3650
Driveshaft on V6 is slip-in tube single piece, and GT is two-piece aluminum, but I don't think the GT's is better.
