@ThatDudeinBlue have you driven a modified (to any length) current gen hatchback Corolla yet? I have a 2022 XSE 6MT with a very short list of modifications that currently include, and will eventually expand from, custom one-off center-exit cat-back exhaust, Titan Motorsports 25mm wheel spacers in the back, rear valance delete (aesthetics), and Riken Raptor directionals sized at 245/45/18 at all four corners.

It is, but the GT500 is a different beast. GT500 does just shy of 1000whp with bolt ons and e85. For a 77k base model (There is one at my local dealership for this price, special ordered buyer backed out probably, as far as I know to get a base they have to be special ordered, but it can be done.) with a warranty its a fuckin deal imo. A mustang GT base costs around 30k. Plus the Odin kit with pro install 12k ish. Brakes, Suspension etc. Looking around 50k-55k for no "real" warranty. Is 20k worth a warranty the 5.2 liter engine and an extra 200hp over a supercharged 5.0 who knows? Now premium to premium. The GT is definetly better bang for your buck. Optioned out the GT500 is hitting 130k. Nuts.

@@trestontape116 actually the 10r80 shifts nearly as fast if not faster than some dct on the road. It’s downshifts where a traditional torque converter auto falls behind-but even then the likes of the zf8 speed and 10r80 and not too far behind
What a delightful presenter and presentation. Appears humble, smart, engaging, technically savvy, and no really stupid profanity...see refreshing, thankyou so much!
I slapped a blower on my daily driver C6. What I've learned is that reliable power doesn't usually break things, but it will darn speed the process up. I spend a lot of time and money replacing things that were probably going to wear out in another 50,000 miles but instead decided to die now. Killed my trans, needed new rubbers in the torque tube too. Tires are toast. My lifters are questionable. Oh well, keeping it going is my hobby now lol.
I went down the rabbit hole too with my daily like that. when I supercharged my little 03 Tacoma, I had so many problems to solve in the first year. which was funny because everyone said you could put the kit on and nothing needed upgraded. first was I ran out of fuel and needed a bigger fuel pump then my clutch didn't even make it 3'000 miles before it started pushing through it and i could only drive normally with no boost and had to go to an upgraded 6 puck clutch. It also killed the knock sensors , the cam position sensor/ tps sensor, and all the extra fuel got the cat redhot and killed it as well. I even had to put a bigger radiator and engine oil cooler in it.
@@shaunmilor What the fck kind of kit was that ?! Yeah these newer kits are pretty good For instance my Magnusson Heartbeat 2300 kit came with a 3 year 36k mile warranty on drivetrain 10k miles later and zero issues
@@Highlander1432 its the little magnuson mp62 for the 1st gen tacoma 5vzfe 3.4 v-6. they sell it with no fuel mods with a 2.37" pulley so it only makes 5 psi of boost which is around 75 hp. I wasnt't happy with that . I had all the problems because I dropped down to a 2" pulley to make over14 psi of boost and triple the power and added the URD 7th injector piggyback kit and JBA/Doug Thorley headers.. the shitty thing about the mp62 setup is that its non intercooled and creates a ton of extra heat over driving it and It burned the rotorpack bearings up after a year, but I also had a warranty on the supercharger and summit racing sent me a new one. Theres no warranty on the trucks parts though. I'm pushing that little 180hp motor up around 400hp so all the weaker parts and cooling problems from the extra heat started to show. Trucks dialed in now though
My daily has been a Superchaged Wrangler making 320whp, about 470-480 crank. When I converted it to E85 I bought a 1.4T Renegade to daily lol. Still turned it up from 140 crank to 200 wheel haha. I still get 30mpg though lol.
My 2019 Mustang GT is my daily driver. still pretty much a stock motor, aside from a cold air intake, 93 octane tune and 2 oil catch cans. In Pittsburgh, thats pretty much overkill. I spend more time sitting in traffic than anything. But when I get to open it up, its a blast. During the pandemic lockdown I ran from CA to TN and was getting almost 28mpg at 80-85 mph.

Thank you so much for introducing me to National Speed I finally found a shop that is confident on working and retuning my Whipple Supercharged Toyota Tundra! Forever Grateful for you David! Once it’s finally finished you’ll have to take her for a spin!
I miss having boost. Love my 4runner, it's the most reliable daily ever but dang, I'd love some boost again! I had a 2005 Subie 2.5 GT pushing 330whp, can't imagine more than double that!
Yeah i sold my tuned SHO for a new Mazda3 because it was a ticking hand grenade (transfer case and turbos didnt go under warranty) and gas was getting expensive. Missing my spooly bois
Coming from a NA 13 GT to a supercharged 18 GT I could say that the S550 is so much more of a refined experience. With that being said the S197 has character for being the more raw experience. Love these cars. Can't wait to see how the s650 performs
I definitely understand the ease of getting in and going. That’s how I feel about my Fiesta ST that’s tuned on 93 and e30. My first car was a Fully built Mazda3. It was raw and getting to the point of being a project car, not a daily.
As a owner of a 2014 GT500 & a Mod'd 2019 GT w/the 10R80. Completely different cars & both amazing in their way 💙💙 FWIW, I really like what you've done with Sub-Zero, she's gorgeous & better w/a VMP 🍻
I know you posted this 9 months ago. I picked up a '23 S550 w/ the 10spd auto and it's glorious. I used to have a 87 camaro 5spd putting down ~830rwhp and I'm pretty sure my 'stang could keep up with it.
This is the most I've ever admired a mustang. I almost kind of want it. It really looks terrific and it seems like easy, dependable, controllable power
My brother has an 18 gt with a wipple and a manual and it does well. 50k miles on the clock and no issues. Not sure of the power because he bought it used with the supercharger on it. Fun car
Been a while since I’ve watched one of your videos but I have to say I love what you’ve done with it! I want a Mustang so bad it always been my dream car! My family has always driven fords in fact I learned how to drive stick in a 1990 F250 when I was 12. My aunt owned an old fox body mustang till it died and sold it and bought another mustang.
I am all about my IS 500 (my 5th Lexus actually), but the Mustang has been my favorite muscle car since I was a kid....and I come from a diehard MOPAR family! I think you went the mature route with this one and honored it quite well. Totally digging it!
I have a 2017 s550 pp with vmp gen3r , made 704 on mustang dyno on 93 , it's the best car you can have for the $ you spent .. I will never regret boosting it and I don't think there is people our there that regret boosting they're s550's . I have the mt82 so I live with fear 🤣🤣
Not a huge Mustang guy but I can appreciate what these cars have to offer in terms of performance and what the stock motors are capable of. I think you have a perfect setup for a daily, the only thing I would personally add is flex fuel. My 2020 STI is making over 900whp on E85 and is boosted cars are just so much happier with the added octane. Not to mention pump E85 is the same price as 87 octane.
@@kodyking3090 I'm using a closed deck block from Outfront Motorsports with a billet crank, pinned mains, custom JE pistons, Manley Tri-Beam rods, and King Race bearings in the bottom end. The top end is a N25 head casting, fully ported, oversized valves, BC280 cams, GSC dual conical springs with a 94lb seat, 1/2 ARP studs, and Athena ringed head gaskets. But no billet block or anything, not something anybody really runs in the Subaru world unless you just want to burn dollar bills. Close decking the factory block and pinning the mains is enough to push over 60psi in these little swiss cheese engines.
@@kodyking3090 I will say that my engine is really only setup to run 50psi or less and I usually keep it on the 36psi map to keep things on the safe side (car still make 760whp at 36psi so no slouch for a 2.5L). My engine is setup to be a fast street car. If we wanted to run over 50psi we could but I'd want to open up the ring gap and I'd probably go with a different style of head gasket too. But those changes really start to make sacrifices in streetablity and longevity.
I think it is just perfect. All the mods you did just go together. For example, if you would have done just the super charger without suspension mods, wheels and tires, then I don’t think the experience would have been that collected. meaning, the power you have, the car now can handle it and behaves so well. Stock wheels, tires, suspension would be scary to have in a car with 750 wheel horsepower. Well done, I think that’s the perfect daily!!!
I think it's a great build the 10-speed automatic was a better choice and you recognized that. To me it's a common-sense build that came out clean and it's not overdone. You did an awesome job on this one
David this was excellent move, yes this car is completely different platform then your other mustang. Automatic trans in the S550 is where it's at it's hard for me to say it as manuel owner but its the truth. Enjoy!!
@@Kylerensolo this! People give the 10r way too much praise. It does good on na cars makes them fast because of crazy gearing mostly but isn't needed on high power cars. 6r is better for big power like you said.
I daily something like this , but 16 gt auto vortech V3 8 psi e85 ( south Florida ) 700whp and it's without a doubt a reliable car and a blessing to own , what you did is basically safe your money for yourself to enjoy and do things and still have the performance or more than a Shelby or redeye 😎🤘I daily on street drag radials , nice and easy on the rain and your good
You did the right thing! I have a 2018 GT Premium with Stage 3 Whipple 10R80 and I love the 3rd gear pulls! That combination will pretty much smoke most cars on the street short of Tesla Plaid. Enjoy the newfound power!
Love what you did with this car, not my favorite looking Mustang, I prefer the 2015 to this model and my all-time favorite looking Mustang is the Saleen Parnelli Jones Edition, but you really figured out how to set it off; it looks fantastic and has the power to match. And it's not overdone, it's very tasteful - projects a powerful confidence, without all the ridiculous, over-the-top and unnecessary esthetics, like the power dome hood or ricer wing, which would actually detract from its appeal. Thanks for featuring this car, Blue Dude, it's a great example of how to turn any car you're not ecstatic about into something you'd love to sport around town!
David you did great with your S550!!! It looks amazing and performs awesome and it is reliable and you can daily drive it and any time a scatpack shows up you can dust him right off the highway!!! Whats not to like about your car. That is what I will do with my Dark Horse, exactly what you have done with your white mustang!!!! Totally Awesome‼️ Cheers Brother!!!!👍💪😎🇺🇸✝️
I don't know why anyone would complain about getting mileage in a 700hp car in the teens, my 2010 impala gets 15. Seems like you are getting a steal of a deal for gas mileage.
Fellow daily 10spd S550 owner here. Only difference is I went Whipple instead of VMP. Mod for mod (except for my built motor) we’re Twinsies. Only thing I hate currently is that I have heart palpitations every time I fill up with these high @ss gas prices but other than that Sheba goes big brrr. Plus I’m close to plenty E85 stations here in Texas so fuel system coming soon 🌽
Assuming "twinsies: means you're running long tubes with performance cats, have you had any problems with Texas emissions? I'm in the planning stages for going boosted myself, but everything I've read says headers are going to fail you 100% of the time...
I just got me a 2008 mustang gt convertible. Black on black with chrome bullit wheels. Can't wait to modify my engine or even get another 4.6 engine and modify that . Having two engines does sound better. I get my exhaust in 1 week . New convertible top with a new stereo .
My good friend has a procharged 5.0L and I have a N/A setup. So I have driven both. He runs Mickey Thompson drag radials and doesn't spin when on a roll. Don`t get me wrong there is a certain wow factor to the sound and power of a boosted mustang GT. But it does turn the car into something different. I find it to be more sketchy to drive fast and never really pushing it as hard as a N/A setup. If you want something that is more confident inspiring a 500WHP N/A 5.0L is the sweet spot. I won`t say the car is ruined but its a different beast now.
You are right, with my Whippled 10R80 despite only tuned to 620WHP I double and triple check the road conditions (straight roads, good surface and no one around) before I put my foot into it and always constantly researching better tyres:) But is it worth it? Shit yeah, because when she hits and hooks there is no better feeling. Would I take it to 1000whp no way as you can’t use it properly on the street and through winding canyon roads.
@fredwilliams7893 not only is the 10 speed automatic faster, it's way faster. I literally murder anyone I run against with the manual transmission. The manual is 0-60 in 4.3 and the 10 speed is 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. Lol. You can't even get a GT 500 in a manual transmission because the automatic is so much faster. They wanted only top performance for the GT 500.
My future build will be very close to this I think. VMP looks like a great option. 750 wheel daily is the dream lmao. Also love the suspension .... need to do that stuff first.
Love what you did with your car. If I cannot get the Corvette C8 ZO6 within the next 2 years I will buy a new GT S650 and do similar upgrades as you did. Yes my Mustang will be my Daily driver also. Currently my DD is my Porsche 911 Turbo S and I need to keep the mileage down on it. I got on the waiting list for the ZO6 20 months ago and yet I may have a 3 year wait. Might just trade the new S650 GT in on the C8 ZO6. Great video‼️🇺🇸
I have a 2020 GT CA Special that is in the same place as you were before the blower. I love the thing, I wen with a Lund tune and in S+ and Track/Drag mode the thing pulls. It's not going to walk on anything that's got forced induction, but for a daily is a blast. I want to get a procharger ASAP but saving the $$ is taking a min. The issue I find with the 10 speed in manual mode is, if you are used to a 5-6 speed, its tough to know what gear you should be in at which speed, and how many to down shift when you want to nail it, it even takes the computer a sec to figure out which gear to be in when you nail it.
I turbo'd my 370z and like you said it's pretty much the same car until you hoon it. I will say I thought about supercharging it, but ultimately figured paying more for a turbo setup would be better. Stock block making 640/540 on pump. I will say with the turbos, I get better gas mileage (+3/4 mpg) on the highway if anyone was thinking about. turbo vs. sc. Obviously you. can watch the dollars go down by the minute when you're on it. The only thing is with larger injector duty stock mileage gauge thinks im getting 8 miles to the gallon.
I am researching/pricing out doing a coyote swap in a new edge ‘04 mustang gt and I’ve learned that the stock manual trans was a lot weaker than the corresponding automatic option, even back in 2004. Auto can handle over 700 ft-lbs while the manual can only handle about 400 ft-lbs. I’m surprised to hear this is still the case on a mustang 14 years newer and on the platform’s 2nd new chassis since the new edge.
You're a car youtube, if you were driving around a stock mustang or a lightly modded one nobody would care. I think its definitely the right call for you and it seems extremely fun and reliable for how much power its pushing. I think this is one of the only platforms of cars you can comfortably push that much power and not have constant anxiety about it blowing the motor.
Wanna do that MPG calculation again? Fill your tank and clear Trip A. Next time you fill, check Trip A miles and divide that by Gallons filled at the pump. You added larger injectors, right? Your Fuel milage calculation might be off. My mpg reads 24mpg, but in reality I'm doing 16.5mpg.
Project Smurf: Independent rear suspension swap! Interior upgrade to Alcantara on all surfaces. You did what you like to SubZero and you are happy so you did the right thing.
Beautiful car, and the mods are spot on (cosmetically). I can't even fathom wanting more power than what the new 5 L is putting out.... But then, you get used to everything and then always want more! Having had nine Mustangs in my life, I understand the addiction. I grew up in the hay day of the muscle car resurgence (the old 225hp foxbody days) - and I had a Paxton supercharged notch back that probably had 325 horsepower, and that thing was a stupid handful, but a lot of fun. Probably a 13 second car. To think that the new Mustang 5.0 with a blower more than doubles that is pretty amazing. I'd love to experience it but up here in Vancouver with gas at basically $10 a gallon (!!) - I have to stick to my lowly economical tuned GTI 😄
It's a nice car. I'm not a fan of autos, but with a good hook up, you're probably between 3 and 4 second 0-60. Around the 11s in the 1/4 And still do around a G on the skid pad. This was fantasy 30 years ago.
With proper suspension and slicks he's probably a 9 second car now with 750 whp Lol Not worth the $ to build a quarter mile king anymore Better to have a super fast cruiser
@@SkullcrusherGamingTV they can run real high 11 in perfect air stock. People exaggerate their performance as if you can just easily rip off deep 11s anywhere bone stock lol. In perfect da with perfect launch it can go 11.8-11.9 when stock and 3.9 0-60 in the same perfect conditions. I doubt it will see that 0-60 now with the tires he's on it isn't gonna hook that power and 0-60 is more about traction than anything. I'd say it should easily run 10s in most places.
@@Highlander1432 I doubt it's gonna do 9s that would really be pushing it. It takes 800+ usually to dip into the 9s. With a badass suspension and tire and weight reduction it may be able to dip into the 9s but it's in the 10s more likely than not.
as a daily driver, I wouldn't be thrilled with how much gas would be going in as I do a ton of driving around. The stock 5.0 mpg is already low for DD duty for me. I keep a dd car that I wont be stressed if it gets damaged and then I have the race car/fun car for usage a few times a week.
If the reliability is there, why would you not? The only downside is putting down over 500hp on the street is hard without going to a drag radial which then becomes dangerous in the rain, can’t use it in winter, and gets terrible mileage before needing replacement, so then you’re having to have 2 sets of rear wheels.
With a Lund Racing 93 octane tune and MBRP pro series race exhaust, I can get 28mpg in my 2019 GT. I've found that the best fuel economy happens at around 80mph. I'm not sure I want to go the supercharger route, I kinda like having a car that I am modding for long distance running rather than quick power bursts.
Would it be able to survive a track day? 4, 5 or 6- 20 minute runs on a closed course? Would temperature lights be coming on like it's Xmas?? ...and running every straightaway up to 7000 rpm?
Beautiful car 😍🙌🏽 done right. I have a 2015 Gen 2 Coyote in deep impact blue and have been FBO for some years now and have done a ton of cosmetic mods, I love it! But I seriously cannot wait to go full send and boost it! 💪🏽 hopefully soon.
That Megnaflow resonator is going to quite that down by ALOT. Cold start won’t be as bad but you’re gonna miss the noise when you step on it. At least that’s how I feel and I have headers with roush exhaust.
Hey bud! Love the video and appreciate the feedback after supercharging your mustang. You can also look into active exhaust so you can have the best of both worlds, loud and quit.
Superchargers have a lot of perks when it comes to these cars like you mentioned. Feels stock when driving soft, less parts to worry about, and there is less of a torque spike on the motor. I bet this motor will last a lot longer than if it had a turbo set up since turbo's typically make a ton of torque at lower RPMs. A lot of stress on the internals.
My engine go brrrr lol

Perfect balance of daily and performance, 10 speed auto paddle shift and a supercharger is definitely the balance that is needed.
S197 live axle is meant to be a handful when overpowered, however, the skills you have to develop to tame a live axle car makes you a great driver.
I have not noticed any trouble. Very communicative chassis. Of course it is another story if you hit bump mid turn. That is trouble for live axle

First off, its a BEAUTIFUL CAR. Second, you did not ruin it... you "enhanced it".. PROPS DUDE!
Supercharged 5.0s are sick
I miss having boost. Love my 4runner, it's the most reliable daily ever but dang, I'd love some boost again! I had a 2005 Subie 2.5 GT pushing 330whp, can't imagine more than double that!
i bought a 3rd gen 4runner for 1500$ in 2018 and i still daily it all while having boosted cars for when i want some speed
Yeah i sold my tuned SHO for a new Mazda3 because it was a ticking hand grenade (transfer case and turbos didnt go under warranty) and gas was getting expensive. Missing my spooly bois
@@WhaddupImJohn Why didn't you just buy something with a turbo? Lots of cars have turbos these days. Massive L
Coming from a NA 13 GT to a supercharged 18 GT I could say that the S550 is so much more of a refined experience. With that being said the S197 has character for being the more raw experience. Love these cars. Can't wait to see how the s650 performs
I definitely understand the ease of getting in and going. That’s how I feel about my Fiesta ST that’s tuned on 93 and e30. My first car was a Fully built Mazda3. It was raw and getting to the point of being a project car, not a daily.
As a owner of a 2014 GT500 & a Mod'd 2019 GT w/the 10R80. Completely different cars & both amazing in their way 💙💙 FWIW, I really like what you've done with Sub-Zero, she's gorgeous & better w/a VMP 🍻
I've been a manual tran/turbo/rwd fan for a loooong time. This video has got me reconsidering.
I know you posted this 9 months ago. I picked up a '23 S550 w/ the 10spd auto and it's glorious. I used to have a 87 camaro 5spd putting down ~830rwhp and I'm pretty sure my 'stang could keep up with it.
This is the most I've ever admired a mustang. I almost kind of want it. It really looks terrific and it seems like easy, dependable, controllable power
I was at the shop the other day when Excel was moving it around.. Thing sounds perfect. Good job.
My brother has an 18 gt with a wipple and a manual and it does well. 50k miles on the clock and no issues. Not sure of the power because he bought it used with the supercharger on it. Fun car
Been a while since I’ve watched one of your videos but I have to say I love what you’ve done with it! I want a Mustang so bad it always been my dream car! My family has always driven fords in fact I learned how to drive stick in a 1990 F250 when I was 12. My aunt owned an old fox body mustang till it died and sold it and bought another mustang.
I am all about my IS 500 (my 5th Lexus actually), but the Mustang has been my favorite muscle car since I was a kid....and I come from a diehard MOPAR family! I think you went the mature route with this one and honored it quite well. Totally digging it!
I have been to National speed with 2 cars now and I couldn't think of 1 bad thing to say about them. They are amazing. Awesome car sounds crisp!
I have a 2017 s550 pp with vmp gen3r , made 704 on mustang dyno on 93 , it's the best car you can have for the $ you spent .. I will never regret boosting it and I don't think there is people our there that regret boosting they're s550's . I have the mt82 so I live with fear 🤣🤣
The one thing about the s550s that I love is at highway speeds it’s not obnoxious at all only when you get into it.
Not a huge Mustang guy but I can appreciate what these cars have to offer in terms of performance and what the stock motors are capable of. I think you have a perfect setup for a daily, the only thing I would personally add is flex fuel.
My 2020 STI is making over 900whp on E85 and is boosted cars are just so much happier with the added octane. Not to mention pump E85 is the same price as 87 octane.
Yea , cheaper gas.
But waste is 50% faster if pressed
Billet motor and internals?
@@kodyking3090 I'm using a closed deck block from Outfront Motorsports with a billet crank, pinned mains, custom JE pistons, Manley Tri-Beam rods, and King Race bearings in the bottom end. The top end is a N25 head casting, fully ported, oversized valves, BC280 cams, GSC dual conical springs with a 94lb seat, 1/2 ARP studs, and Athena ringed head gaskets.
But no billet block or anything, not something anybody really runs in the Subaru world unless you just want to burn dollar bills. Close decking the factory block and pinning the mains is enough to push over 60psi in these little swiss cheese engines.
@@PleadTheFifth_Racing damn that’s crazy bro I had no idea you could run that much boost. Very nice build
@@kodyking3090 I will say that my engine is really only setup to run 50psi or less and I usually keep it on the 36psi map to keep things on the safe side (car still make 760whp at 36psi so no slouch for a 2.5L). My engine is setup to be a fast street car. If we wanted to run over 50psi we could but I'd want to open up the ring gap and I'd probably go with a different style of head gasket too. But those changes really start to make sacrifices in streetablity and longevity.
I think it is just perfect. All the mods you did just go together. For example, if you would have done just the super charger without suspension mods, wheels and tires, then I don’t think the experience would have been that collected. meaning, the power you have, the car now can handle it and behaves so well. Stock wheels, tires, suspension would be scary to have in a car with 750 wheel horsepower. Well done, I think that’s the perfect daily!!!
So I have a question is it important to change the transmission on these after boosting the car or does the 10r80 take added power well
You did a awesome job keep it up mannn...love the Stang she's nice
I think it's a great build the 10-speed automatic was a better choice and you recognized that. To me it's a common-sense build that came out clean and it's not overdone. You did an awesome job on this one
Just got into mustangs and I can say I can’t wait til I get my 5.0. Sick car man 🔥
David this was excellent move, yes this car is completely different platform then your other mustang. Automatic trans in the S550 is where it's at it's hard for me to say it as manuel owner but its the truth. Enjoy!!
any hp above 800 whp, the 10r is trash. 6r80 is better and th400 is king.
@@Kylerensolo this! People give the 10r way too much praise. It does good on na cars makes them fast because of crazy gearing mostly but isn't needed on high power cars. 6r is better for big power like you said.
I loved my kenne bell because it was just like driving the car stock but instantly made boost when you put your foot into it. Just a nice daily driver
A Mustang that can smack in comfort sound and speed.
Dream setup
I daily something like this , but 16 gt auto vortech V3 8 psi e85 ( south Florida ) 700whp and it's without a doubt a reliable car and a blessing to own , what you did is basically safe your money for yourself to enjoy and do things and still have the performance or more than a Shelby or redeye 😎🤘I daily on street drag radials , nice and easy on the rain and your good
You did the right thing! I have a 2018 GT Premium with Stage 3 Whipple 10R80 and I love the 3rd gear pulls! That combination will pretty much smoke most cars on the street short of Tesla Plaid. Enjoy the newfound power!
What power are you at?
@@CoyoteAUS 720 wheel with stock headers and cats.
Pretty sweet that National Speed and VMP sponsored this video. Enjoyed the review!
National Speed is amazing! Love those guys! Top notch!
Honestly I love it wouldn't do anything different especially for a daily drive 👌
Love what you did with this car, not my favorite looking Mustang, I prefer the 2015 to this model and my all-time favorite looking Mustang is the Saleen Parnelli Jones Edition, but you really figured out how to set it off; it looks fantastic and has the power to match. And it's not overdone, it's very tasteful - projects a powerful confidence, without all the ridiculous, over-the-top and unnecessary esthetics, like the power dome hood or ricer wing, which would actually detract from its appeal.
Thanks for featuring this car, Blue Dude, it's a great example of how to turn any car you're not ecstatic about into something you'd love to sport around town!
David you did great with your S550!!! It looks amazing and performs awesome and it is reliable and you can daily drive it and any time a scatpack shows up you can dust him right off the highway!!! Whats not to like about your car. That is what I will do with my Dark Horse, exactly what you have done with your white mustang!!!! Totally Awesome‼️
Cheers Brother!!!!👍💪😎🇺🇸✝️
I don't know why anyone would complain about getting mileage in a 700hp car in the teens, my 2010 impala gets 15. Seems like you are getting a steal of a deal for gas mileage.
Fellow daily 10spd S550 owner here. Only difference is I went Whipple instead of VMP. Mod for mod (except for my built motor) we’re Twinsies.
Only thing I hate currently is that I have heart palpitations every time I fill up with these high @ss gas prices but other than that Sheba goes big brrr. Plus I’m close to plenty E85 stations here in Texas so fuel system coming soon 🌽
is sheba the name of your car
Assuming "twinsies: means you're running long tubes with performance cats, have you had any problems with Texas emissions? I'm in the planning stages for going boosted myself, but everything I've read says headers are going to fail you 100% of the time...
You did what I'm doing to my 2021. I won't be nearly that low though. I will be getting a pump and e85 tunes since I have no problem finding e85.
I just got me a 2008 mustang gt convertible. Black on black with chrome bullit wheels. Can't wait to modify my engine or even get another 4.6 engine and modify that . Having two engines does sound better. I get my exhaust in 1 week . New convertible top with a new stereo .
My good friend has a procharged 5.0L and I have a N/A setup. So I have driven both. He runs Mickey Thompson drag radials and doesn't spin when on a roll. Don`t get me wrong there is a certain wow factor to the sound and power of a boosted mustang GT. But it does turn the car into something different. I find it to be more sketchy to drive fast and never really pushing it as hard as a N/A setup. If you want something that is more confident inspiring a 500WHP N/A 5.0L is the sweet spot. I won`t say the car is ruined but its a different beast now.
You are right, with my Whippled 10R80 despite only tuned to 620WHP I double and triple check the road conditions (straight roads, good surface and no one around) before I put my foot into it and always constantly researching better tyres:) But is it worth it? Shit yeah, because when she hits and hooks there is no better feeling. Would I take it to 1000whp no way as you can’t use it properly on the street and through winding canyon roads.
I think what you did with your Mustang is awesome!!!! Keep doin you bro!!! Cant wait for the next video.
The older you get... the more that 10R80 gets better! Especially in stop n go..
Never! Just means your starting to get lazy! Honestly! Real performance car enthusiasts will keep a manual no matter what!
@@fredwilliams7893”real performance car enthusiasts “ , so if someone prefers an auto they’re not a real car enthusiast?😂
@fredwilliams7893 not only is the 10 speed automatic faster, it's way faster. I literally murder anyone I run against with the manual transmission. The manual is 0-60 in 4.3 and the 10 speed is 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. Lol. You can't even get a GT 500 in a manual transmission because the automatic is so much faster. They wanted only top performance for the GT 500.
@@anaccount7923this Fred guy doesn't know shit about Mustangs. He probably drives a Camry. Lol
@@tyarnold4088still not as fun, idc how much faster it is
As long as you’re happy with it,which you obviously are,i think it’s perfect for you!
Perfect idea to save alot of money because of the cost of a GT500. It looks really awesome , nice and clean.
*Cries in MT82*
Sweet!
I’ve got a 2012 boss 302. A 98 cobra and my newest addition a 2014 SE velociraptor 600. Ford raptor.
My future build will be very close to this I think. VMP looks like a great option. 750 wheel daily is the dream lmao. Also love the suspension .... need to do that stuff first.
Love what you did with your car.
If I cannot get the Corvette C8 ZO6 within the next 2 years I will buy a new GT S650 and do similar upgrades as you did. Yes my Mustang will be my Daily driver also. Currently my DD is my Porsche 911 Turbo S and I need to keep the mileage down on it. I got on the waiting list for the ZO6 20 months ago and yet I may have a 3 year wait. Might just trade the new S650 GT in on the C8 ZO6. Great video‼️🇺🇸
I think it's great. You do what makes you happy. One fast one for everyday driving and one to play with. What more can you ask for? 👍
I think supercharging it was the right way to go. Sounds like a beast.
Cool to see u have both the 13’ and the 18’ stangs. I personally don’t like the s550s too much but man do I love my 14’ 5.0.
Watching boost temps go down is my favorite. What an awesome setup! I still want you to review my 07 Saleen S331 SC
I love what you’ve done to the mustang it’s so sick and is really one of the best daily drivers with the 10 speed
I have a 2020 GT CA Special that is in the same place as you were before the blower. I love the thing, I wen with a Lund tune and in S+ and Track/Drag mode the thing pulls. It's not going to walk on anything that's got forced induction, but for a daily is a blast. I want to get a procharger ASAP but saving the $$ is taking a min. The issue I find with the 10 speed in manual mode is, if you are used to a 5-6 speed, its tough to know what gear you should be in at which speed, and how many to down shift when you want to nail it, it even takes the computer a sec to figure out which gear to be in when you nail it.
I have a 2015 Roush w/ a manual. I find myself just not using 1st gear a lot. Starting in 2nd feels a lot like first to me.
Hi David!! Love this build!!
I love the simplicity and speed.
I think your 18 is cooking and it's one bad Pony on the street that is really a wiseman's supercar. She rocks!
I turbo'd my 370z and like you said it's pretty much the same car until you hoon it. I will say I thought about supercharging it, but ultimately figured paying more for a turbo setup would be better. Stock block making 640/540 on pump. I will say with the turbos, I get better gas mileage (+3/4 mpg) on the highway if anyone was thinking about. turbo vs. sc. Obviously you. can watch the dollars go down by the minute when you're on it. The only thing is with larger injector duty stock mileage gauge thinks im getting 8 miles to the gallon.
I am researching/pricing out doing a coyote swap in a new edge ‘04 mustang gt and I’ve learned that the stock manual trans was a lot weaker than the corresponding automatic option, even back in 2004.
Auto can handle over 700 ft-lbs while the manual can only handle about 400 ft-lbs.
I’m surprised to hear this is still the case on a mustang 14 years newer and on the platform’s 2nd new chassis since the new edge.
You're a car youtube, if you were driving around a stock mustang or a lightly modded one nobody would care. I think its definitely the right call for you and it seems extremely fun and reliable for how much power its pushing. I think this is one of the only platforms of cars you can comfortably push that much power and not have constant anxiety about it blowing the motor.
Amazing you even answered my question haha. I think it’s sick AF.
Wanna do that MPG calculation again? Fill your tank and clear Trip A.
Next time you fill, check Trip A miles and divide that by Gallons filled at the pump.
You added larger injectors, right? Your Fuel milage calculation might be off. My mpg reads 24mpg, but in reality I'm doing 16.5mpg.
Project Smurf: Independent rear suspension swap! Interior upgrade to Alcantara on all surfaces. You did what you like to SubZero and you are happy so you did the right thing.
Full bolt on's and a really good tune including a Trans tune on a A10 S550 is faster than most things on the road today.
Nice shots at Russell, awesome road.
Beautiful car, and the mods are spot on (cosmetically). I can't even fathom wanting more power than what the new 5 L is putting out.... But then, you get used to everything and then always want more! Having had nine Mustangs in my life, I understand the addiction. I grew up in the hay day of the muscle car resurgence (the old 225hp foxbody days) - and I had a Paxton supercharged notch back that probably had 325 horsepower, and that thing was a stupid handful, but a lot of fun. Probably a 13 second car. To think that the new Mustang 5.0 with a blower more than doubles that is pretty amazing. I'd love to experience it but up here in Vancouver with gas at basically $10 a gallon (!!) - I have to stick to my lowly economical tuned GTI 😄
Cant go wrong with the big three, easy power and alot more cost effective than euro/ jdm
Absolutely.. LS HEMI and COYOTE are great platforms to make great power .. fun and not crazy expensive
Man love the car dude ! Channel is continuing to grow !! Much inspiration for us all ! 👋🏽👋🏽 “Ciao”
Nice. Excellent build. Too easy with the Gen3 Coyote, blower and the10R80.
It's a nice car. I'm not a fan of autos, but with a good hook up, you're probably between 3 and 4 second 0-60.
Around the 11s in the 1/4
And still do around a G on the skid pad.
This was fantasy 30 years ago.
10 speeds can do this stock. That’s a 10 second car easy.
With proper suspension and slicks he's probably a 9 second car now with 750 whp
Lol
Not worth the $ to build a quarter mile king anymore
Better to have a super fast cruiser
It should run 10s pretty easily. Depends on da et can swing widely depending on that but it's safe to say in most situations it'll easily go 10s.
@@SkullcrusherGamingTV they can run real high 11 in perfect air stock. People exaggerate their performance as if you can just easily rip off deep 11s anywhere bone stock lol. In perfect da with perfect launch it can go 11.8-11.9 when stock and 3.9 0-60 in the same perfect conditions. I doubt it will see that 0-60 now with the tires he's on it isn't gonna hook that power and 0-60 is more about traction than anything. I'd say it should easily run 10s in most places.
@@Highlander1432 I doubt it's gonna do 9s that would really be pushing it. It takes 800+ usually to dip into the 9s. With a badass suspension and tire and weight reduction it may be able to dip into the 9s but it's in the 10s more likely than not.
I think it's a beautiful awesome ride and you done the right thing you got the best of both worlds come comfort and super fast a bow tie killer
as a daily driver, I wouldn't be thrilled with how much gas would be going in as I do a ton of driving around. The stock 5.0 mpg is already low for DD duty for me. I keep a dd car that I wont be stressed if it gets damaged and then I have the race car/fun car for usage a few times a week.
Nothing like a good performance car shop
I was driving my supercharged 2011, 6 speed as a daily until about a year ago. It was great. Gas prices just got ridiculous here in Ca.
But where are all the other cars??? I legit haven't seen you 240 in yrs. Perhaps a vid on updates on the fleet?
If the reliability is there, why would you not? The only downside is putting down over 500hp on the street is hard without going to a drag radial which then becomes dangerous in the rain, can’t use it in winter, and gets terrible mileage before needing replacement, so then you’re having to have 2 sets of rear wheels.
With a Lund Racing 93 octane tune and MBRP pro series race exhaust, I can get 28mpg in my 2019 GT. I've found that the best fuel economy happens at around 80mph. I'm not sure I want to go the supercharger route, I kinda like having a car that I am modding for long distance running rather than quick power bursts.
You going to mustang week in MB. Last one ☝️great video
110% worth it!! Perfect car imo 👍🏻
Would it be able to survive a track day? 4, 5 or 6- 20 minute runs on a closed course? Would temperature lights be coming on like it's Xmas?? ...and running every straightaway up to 7000 rpm?
Beautiful car 😍🙌🏽 done right. I have a 2015 Gen 2 Coyote in deep impact blue and have been FBO for some years now and have done a ton of cosmetic mods, I love it! But I seriously cannot wait to go full send and boost it! 💪🏽 hopefully soon.
I think it's amazing keep the good work
Absolutely, good decision making
Love it bro. I love mine too much to daily it. But then I don’t get to enjoy it and it’s just sitting there 😵💫
amazing build...thanks for the video!
It’s super dope. One day I hope to have one like it.
I'm not really into Mustangs but yours is sick
He makes me want one
That Megnaflow resonator is going to quite that down by ALOT. Cold start won’t be as bad but you’re gonna miss the noise when you step on it. At least that’s how I feel and I have headers with roush exhaust.
I think that was awesome what you did to it, I have a 2015 GT premium mustang and I would love to do that to mine but it’s expensive
Hey bud! Love the video and appreciate the feedback after supercharging your mustang. You can also look into active exhaust so you can have the best of both worlds, loud and quit.
Nothing better than having a comfortable daily with all the tech and a V8 with a supercharger! Just budget for gas and tires, is all I can say.
Superchargers have a lot of perks when it comes to these cars like you mentioned. Feels stock when driving soft, less parts to worry about, and there is less of a torque spike on the motor. I bet this motor will last a lot longer than if it had a turbo set up since turbo's typically make a ton of torque at lower RPMs. A lot of stress on the internals.
You mean torque at high RPM’s, where the turbo is creating the highest pressure and most boost is applied
@@extremeencounter7458 Depends on the turbo size I guess. But peak torque is usually at/under 5,400 rpms
I have a 2020 PP1 with a 10-speed auto and a stage 2 Whipple headers and E85 making around 800 wheel on e
