Very cool!!I don't know about 50grand though.I'm curious about who did his supercharger, and how they did it. WhippleI definitely like the stance, plus the 20s are almost too much but there is some balance.

There's other ways to get that much power for 50k, with a factory warranty.

Yeah PLEASE tell me where you could get 550 HP with a factory warranty for under 50k..

Im sure tahts probably the keulyian SC, but still 550HP is nice and strong. unfortunately it doesnt appear they did trans mods..... Dont really care for those wheels, id prefer something a little sportier, but still that thing is nasty...

Why is Seattle the graveyard for all supercharged F50?

I guarantee it is no where near 500HP, let alone 550.

I be curious how he adapted the rear Brembos. The front are a bolt-on 355mm kit.

Yeah, the one I drove looked just like that (the supercharger) and it felt like a good 4-420 hp, not 500+. Still it was awesome, 130+ hp more than what I got!!

Buy a 6 month old CTS-V for $36k-$42k (real-world transaction price), add magnacharger for $6,200. It comes with a warranty extension on top of factory coverage.

I'm always skeptical about these supercharged F50 ads because:1) They always wind up being sold right after so much money has been spent.2) Where's the warranty coverage?3) Why the heck are they all in Seattle?

Bottom line with all that body kit and likely very heavy rims i wouldnt want to take that too fast.... basically all its good for is going fast on the highway... Which is OK...

I do agree wtih you Jesda though, id rather have CTSV than a supercharged F50....

Without knowing the specifics, it is hard to say how much power is being generated.

If this car is running 12 psi, then the HP would be near 550.

In Seattle it is a suiside to drive car like that, there are no (few) straight roads where you can use full potential of whatever power this thing has. Also, lowering it like that is a straight road to bottoming out on a "flat" roads in Seattle! It looks nice though!

Cheers!

Change that to "no DRY roads", and you've pretty much nailed it!
