That's cute, but a bone stock 2020 Mustang GT runs 12.2's off the dealer's lot. 11's are easily achieved with minor bolt-ons. A blower puts you into the 9's. Much more easily than a truck. Going fast using a truck as the platform is a little silly. Just my opinion. I've been the guy who modified a vehicle only to realize that another stock vehicle was a better place to start. I have a buddy who has built more than one 7-second Coyote Mustang... street car... full interior and A/C, drove (not trailered) to the track.

 

k, but that’s not what you said nor what I responded to.

of course a mustang mod for mod will outrun an F-150.

go read your own words, specifically the part where I quoted you in bold font. It’s totally false.

 

We were talking about a modded F150 vs. a stock Mustang GT. Not a BLOWN F-150. You're talking about $7,000-8,000 in bare minimum amount for a blower setup, plus to get anywhere at the track you need suspension, tires, change the rear to limited-slip, so now you're at $12,000-15,000 in mods..... to get just very slightly faster than a stock Mustang GT..... My point isn't that you can't make an F150 fast. It's that it's a waste of time and money. Let trucks do truck stuff. I love a street truck, man. I subscribed to "Sport Truck" magazine for basically all of the late 80's and early 90's. My dream truck was a Chevy 454SS or a 1st gen Lightning. They were cool trucks. But they could never outrun a comparably equipped car. If saving money is your goal for go-fast, then just get a 5 year old low mile Mustang and start with that. If you want a street truck, build that. But it'll always be trailing behind fast cars. So why do it? Use a truck to tow your toy to the track.

 

most highly modded F-150 you can imagine

that includes a blower in my book, at the minimum.

i wasn’t arguing any point you’ve made except for this one.

 

I guess from a money perspective, a blower is really the most expensive thing you can do to a street vehicle (I realize off-road/lift stuff can get pretty wild, too). I had a fairly extensively modified 4cyl turbo car back in the late 90's and after a while I realized it was absurd for me to dump another 6 or 7 grand into it to get it to 300hp when I could just go buy a Camaro. So I bought a Camaro.

 

lol Zero all over the place. THE MOST HIGHLY MODDED F150 YOU CAN IMAGINE vs bone stock GT. hahaha
