Ford Performance and Roush Performance don’t put their names on aftermarket power numbers lightly, which is what makes this dealer-installed supercharger kit for the 2018 Mustang GT and F-150 worth paying attention to. The kit pushes the Mustang to 700 horsepower and the F-150 to 640, all while keeping the factory warranty fully intact. See exactly what Ford is backing and why it still matters for Coyote-powered owners.
Redline Reviews puts the 2025 Ford Mustang Dark Horse through its paces, framing it as ‘the last traditional muscle car standing’ thanks to its 5.0-liter V8 and dedicated handling upgrades over the standard GT. The roughly $82,000 as-tested price sparked heavy debate in the comments, with some calling it out of reach for typical Mustang buyers and others — including a two-month owner — insisting it’s worth every penny. Additional comments praised the channel’s exhaust-note audio quality while criticizing the touchscreen-based climate controls in place of physical buttons.
Ford’s own performance chief gave a surprisingly candid answer when asked whether the Ranger Raptor would ever come to America — and it wasn’t a simple yes or no. Jamal Hameedi explained exactly which engines could power a U.S. version, why the diesel it launched with never stood a chance stateside, and why the truck’s suspension impressed him more than its horsepower numbers. Read on to find out what it actually took to bring a Raptor-badged Ranger to American driveways.
The Mustang RTR is Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s production interpretation of the car he drifts for a living, and its tiers differ by considerably more than badges. The 472-horsepower figure attached to the GT comes from Ford Performance hardware rather than a third-party tuner, which is precisely why the factory warranty survives the upgrade intact. Read on for what separates Spec 1 from Spec 2, and why the suspension work may matter more than the power does.
