lame. Why would they list the price for one component, and not the rest?

i bet you could get into the 10's with the stock supercharger, no need to tack on 7k for a larger one.

Those are not the mods. That is just a list of parts they sell.

I don't think that is the point. Anyone can do it, but the ones that do it set them apart. I could just as easily get my GTO into the 10's with that kind of money, but I am not. Props to this guy for actually busting it out. Warrenty be damned or whatever.

Drag slicks alone would get the stock Shelby GT500 into the high 11's low 12's

You could say that about any big displacement V8. Not knocking the accomplishment, really, just not impressed/surprised by it.
