They are WIDE awake. GM has Ford well beat when it comes to crate motors and aftermarket products.
If you want to try and act like Ford is something special for offering this, be my guest. Most of us know that VERY few actually do this to their cars.

The GM supercharger offered is nothing more than the supercharger! You'll need to add roughly another $4K to the process as well as kiss your factory warranty bye-bye. It's not a complete kit...you'll need pulleys, drives, intercooler parts, tune, etc, etc, etc.
Once again, GM has been left behind by the blue oval!

In case you didn't notice you kissed all but 1 year of your factory warranty away with the Ford kit.

Again, VERY few people will buy this. So GM is quite competitive and has outsold the Mustang handily over the past many months. So if this makes you feel like Ford has an edge for those VERY few customers, then ok.

That aside, that's a pretty beastly kit. 624hp is no laughing matter...

Only for a few customers.
And I'm sure you guys know that you can supercharge your Camaro and get a warranty from the guys that do it, right? I've seen 3/36 warranties offered.

10 hp/psi is the rule of thumb I've always heard for OEM HP. So 2 psi resulting in 100 hp seems a bit much.
Good for Ford for making this available. But it isn't any indication of GM's capability or understanding of this market. So instead of trying to bash GM, which is pointless, use it to give kudos to Ford which they deserve.
