Perhaps a dumb question, but how do people know your Stang is Supercharged? Is your intercooler very obvious or are people hearing the charger whine and then asking?

Only reason I ask is I hope to get supercharged one day and would like to keep it as un-obvious as possible. Again, sorry if its a dumb question, for all I know you've got stickers that say "supercharged" on your car.

well, apparently this is news to some of you: Asking a person how much something cost is rude. As has been said, it's like asking how much they make (which is also very rude). If you like the car, say so. If you want a supercharger yourself, say so. But don't ask about money. It's tacky, makes the other person uncomfortable, and there is absolutely no reason for it.

If you have no clue how to find out the cost of a supercharger for a Mustang, you are an idiot, and simply telling you the cost won't help. If you already know the price range and are simply looking for a place to get yours installed, say so before asking who did it, what was included, and what the rate was. This idle "so what did that run you" questioning is something only rubes with no manners engage in. Nothing says "I'm an uncouth hick with no social skills" louder. Accept the fact that not everybody gets a hard-on bragging about how much money they spend, and very few get a hard-on being asked about it.

This applies to everything, not just superchargers. Develop some manners and bite your tongue next time you are tempted to ask the cost of somebody else's toys. Ask where they got it, or how long they've had it, or where they work, but please leave money out of the discussion if you wish to be seen as an adult by the rest of the world.

Most people ask me if I have, "...dat dare special edition Mustang GT with the "Roll bar" (Styling bar) and the supercharger...". I tell them "yeah, it's the limited "SRS" model. And show them the initials on the steering wheel. :rlaugh:

Get off your high horse. People here aren't jealous of you, they are telling you to quit freaking out. You think you are the only one who works hard? Get over yourself.

You should be the one to get an education.... "costed" haha

? Does it really bother you that much if a person that does not know much about stangs and what mods cost ask you a question?? What harm is done by answering that, it's not like the person is going to know some super secret info about you if you tell them what it costs.

Whenever you buy something new from clothes, to shoes, to TVs, to a new car, to say.......a supercharger SOMEBODY is going to ask you how much it cost, its just life. And nobody cares how much money you make they generally want to know how much the damn thing cost.

And for the record, I have a Bachelors in Finance and will start work on my Masters soon. And I have NEVER worked at Burger King or any other fast food restaurant chain.

This whole thread is dumb, I guess I just dont see the big deal. And yes I quit my job at burger king (wendys actually in high school), got a job, and have a supercharged mustang.

Why get mad at the people who show interest and love for your car. Imo asking someone what certain performance mods cost is very different than asking someone what their salary is.

I understand if someone is talking smack about your car, but there are people who are genuinly interested in cars, mustangs, superchargers, etc and are just getting some information. Be nice to people, help them out, and enjoy the hobby.
