Yes, they do run pretty good. Install an after market cold air induction kit and Predator tune and it'll run even better. Couldn't believe the difference this made in mine. This simple mod gets you 30-40 extra horsepower. This is basically what they did to achieve the 40 extra horsepower in the KR.

As a former Roush owner the handling on these cars is SOOOO superior to the GT500's. I would of taken the lower production, more balanced car over a straight line shooter everyday of the week. Either way, congrats on the purchase!

Get a smaller pulley on the supercharger, bigger injectors and a dyno tune and you will put down 600 hp..

and exhaust....JBA set up my buddys 500 and it is brutally quick. He has had a Viper, 360 Modena, M5 BMW, Lambo Guardo (spelling ?) and feels this car accelerates quicker. That is alot of HP for the money for sure. Congrats very very few cars will hang with it going straight.

I have seen the cold air kits and smaller pulleys. What exactly is a Predator tune?
