So...I just drove a '97 Mustang GT Supercharged...
...and I gotta say, I was not that impressed.
I walked in the door after just getting home from work, and my moms b/f's daughter wants me to drive it to see if her wheel feels bent (I work on rims/tires everyday and she doesn't know too much about them). So, I take it for ride. As soon as I start it, I notice she has aftermarket exhaust. It sounded good, but I didn't think anything of it.
So I start driving...get on it a few times, and I think, "Hey, this things not bad for stock." I didn't know it was supercharged until I got back, and her dad told me it was. I kept hearing a whine but, I thought that since it didn't feel too powerful, it may have been a vacuum line or something just whistling.
Anyway...shouldn't this thing just shit 'n' get with a supercharger? Maybe it wasn't properly tuned, or even tuned at all? I know they bought it used with the supercharger on it, so they have never had it taken to a dyno shop or anything like that.
Any input would be appreciated. I've just never driven one of those, and was wondering if they're all that weak with a supercharger.
Also...the ground was wet, but it didn't feel like the tires were breaking loose. Maybe traction was the issue? The car is also a 5 speed.
EDIT: Just found out the car is a 1996. Don't know if that makes any difference.Last edited by kickflippin1; 02-08-2009 at 12:45 PM.

Yeah something is OFF.
It will blow the tires off with LOW amounts of boost on wet pavement.
Your on a GM fourm so you'll get alot of shit talk. But I'll tell you straight up when tuned right it will make decent power with 6-8lbs of boost.Don't be afraid of the bottle!!! Be afraid of your tune!!!

Well, here in MI, 16 puts you in the Pokey.
Edit: Dont quote me on that. That's just what i'm told. A guy i know has sex with a girl that was 15 or 16 and he was 19/21 area, and her parents filed charges and he got put away for 2-4 years for statutory rape. Also...i dont care to venture into finding out if 16 is legal or not. I am too lazy.Last edited by kickflippin1; 02-07-2009 at 06:10 PM.

Black- 98 SS
We have some at the track running low 12's, high 11's with just blowers so they say.
I am not a Mustang fan but don't bet the pink slip unless you know what they have?

Phantom Black Metallic- 2004 GTO M6
I wonder what the current GT is running to the rear wheels? I know the advertised HP is 315. Possibly 260/70?
