So i was at a car show last night parked next to some loser with a supercharerged AND turbocharged 2000 mustang cobra. So i ask him why super charge and turbo the car? He says that it was supercharged from the factory and he added the turbo for more top end power. So i says, "it looks like you just took an 03/04 cobra motor and put it in a GT" and he replies "NO its a freak from the factory and there was only a few 2000 GT/ Cobra's that were supercharged". So who's right about this because i see him all the time and i want to throw it in his face next time?

Ford never produced a 2000 Cobra, just 300 Cobra R's. Also, with the exception of third party modification such as Saleen and Roush, Ford did not produce or sell a factory supercharged Mustang until the introduction of the 2003 Cobra.

I know this dude is a tool but you can make huge power with turbos going into a roots inlet. Its a pretty neat setup, just expensive.

See it was wierd though because when he took off down the street, it didnt have the usual blower wine like a terminator, so he must have had the supercharger boost way down and the turbo boost way up. Either way that guy is getting flamed next monday night

So he has a compound boost 4V.... sounds like fun.

Maybe its an import from Australia. I think they did produce a 2000 Cobra down under.

would he let you see under the hood atleast? I would like to think if he has the knowledge and money to compound boost a car he wouldnt be that big of a tool/liar.

its real.... its a "SRS" package... same niche line in the factory as the GT-R.....

i ran into a guy who "has been building race motors for 30 years" who bought his son a 2004 Mach 1.
Popped the hood, SOHC.
No shaker.
GT bumpers
mach 1 rocker stripes.
no mach 1 wheels.
no mach 1 gauge bezzle.
no mach 1 interior.
... .. . . .. .

"ive been building race engines for 30 years!!!" .. . .. didnt want to listen to me... thats fine. lol.

poor guy spent $28k on a "special edition mach1"

i took his son away from the converstaion and was like "take this thing back and get your money back"
roughly 90 days later the tranny blew and they took the car back to the dealer. lol!
