Hey ODDYSEY, I completely see where you are coming from, I was nearly a V-6 owner myself(trust me if I couldn't afford my GT I would be in a sixer in a heart beat
). People around me and my true intentions(and financial ability) allowed me to realize what(to me) Mustangs have always represented, a fast car(that is available to all with either a 6 or 8 cylinder engine), that has style, heritage and people the world over recognize. I'll bet anyone that if you take all the emblems and names off of a C6 'Vette and a S197 'Stang, most people will know what the Mustang is, while most might not with the 'Vette.
I lusted for a GT since 11th grade(1982, when the "Boss is Back" adsfor the reintroduced GT were in all the mags) and I waited forever to buy one(one thing after another happened[:@]).BTW nice color, good luck with your X-Charger purchase(and go run some F-bodies with it)......................

RE: I GOT RAPED
The 2.6 or the 2.8 pully? If I remember correctly, we've only seen 1 x-charger break 300 rwhp, and that was bscottie's with some internal engine work. If I'm wrong, that's awesome but I don't think the x-charger by itself will get you there.
Don't get me wrong, I'm very impressed with the X, and it is definitely an option I am considering when I am ready to go FI. Everyone that has it seems to absolutely love it. However, 300 rwhp is kind of a magic number for a lot of people, and the X by itself seems like it just doesn't quite get there. Now many have said for quite some time that all it lacks is an intercooler to unlock it's potential, and now we have one in the works so we may see some numbers going way beyond 300 rwhp.
If I've missed somebody besides bscottie posting up an X system making 310 rwhp, then please let me know and I'll be as excited as anyone. But since people are going to read these forums and decide what direction to go with their cars, the information needs to be accurate.

I wouldn't make that bet if I were you.

Also, who makes the X-charger. I never even heard of it until he told me he was buying one.

RE: I GOT RAPED
I don't know who makes them, but explorer express sells them. Is he getting the hi-po x-charger or regular? Either way if u had 298rwhp and put on a couple more bolt-on's u should have him if u can drive and he has no other mods.
