    turbos are fun, but seem to be a pain in the butt...
    2015 A6 Mustang GT that so far has gone 9.48@147 but still the fastest prochargerd S550 in the world aside from Tim Essick's!

    Not if you buy a good kit from a reputable company and there are a some good options available. I switched from a S/C to a turbo and would never go back. Can't beat the "free" power. ;)

    What all does the 427R package get you? Seems like a lot of money to me. If you research the mods and have a local shop do the install, I'd think you'd end up with a car that could easily outrun a 427R and have money left over...

    If you're expanding your budget a little from your original amount, check into the Kenne Bell superchargers. They make a ton of torque down low and have a built-in intercooler. They seem to have a great design. Last time I looked into them the kits were a little over $5k. Throw in the needed clutch upgrade, lowering springs, rims/tires, and maybe some brakes and there's not much else you could do!

    Good luck!

    Ummmm.....No.

    for $11,400 you could make your car a freakin screamer with a turbo kit and supporting mods!
