The supercharged 2020 GT500 engine ($35k+) was originally purchased for component testing purposes but, once the fitting was finished, the guys at VMP began to use their gearhead imaginations. After the idea was brought to light, it was just a matter of getting it done. To answer your question – No, it was not easy.
The engine is a handcrafted 5.2-liter stock block from FoMoCo. Jokerz Performance ported the supercharger. VMP added an oversize throttle body and an oversize (20-percent) lower pulley. That got the output up over 1,000hp at the rear tires. Combine that with a manual transmission and you have a recipe for some serious fun.
With its military grade P51 paint scheme, it’s anyone’s guess whether this beast needs a dragstrip or a runway. At any rate, Track Attack is cleared for takeoff, so climb aboard and enjoy the video.
