i'd guess it's about $20k for all the parts to do it... that makes for one expensive 4 cylinder car..

This King Cobra is based on a GT. The supercharger has a 2.3L displacement, the engine is still a V-8.

More than 3 times the horsepower of my Lincoln and better gas mileage too... I guess technology isn't all bad. Lol

I feel I should point out the article says high 10s, not 11s.

Well, E85, no?

I should be getting a Hellcat in next spring/summer for modifications. Probably the only time I'll ever see one in person, so it should be interesting.

i'm guessing the OP said 11s because i bet the driver made several attemps at getting into the 10s and with alot of tuning at the track finally pulled a 10.97s. so for the normal run of the mill GRMer an 11s would be easy to pull

Way more GRM: Stock 2.3T EcoBoost Mustang plus a hand-held box tuner and a set of drag radials = 11's.

I watched a Grand Cherokee run in the high 9's today. I'm not sure it's relavent to the conversation, but it blew my mind.
