personally I love the whine of a supercharger and I feel the induction may be forced but the humilation you'll suffer is up to you

True but the peak hp comes at 9000rpm and the tq comes in at 6000rpm for the Ferrari. Where as most of the Mustangs hp and tq now comes in well under the 6000rpm that the peak of the Ferrari's come in at. Dont see that changing all that much. Also the new 5L from Ford is not going to be DI from everything that I have read.
