Lebanon Ford (Ohio) Offering 5.0TT 800HP 2018 Mustang - $51,995

Leather and a larger infotainment screen adds performance hindering weight?

Around these parts a new shift knob can be reasoned to be a performance improvement.

The article says it will come with better oil pump gears and upgraded half shafts. That’s a pretty good start to upgrades

Didn't see anything about upgraded half-shafts. That's at least something

If you go premium and get the digital gauges think of how many ounces you’ll save by losing those analog needles!
:lol: :cheers:

Until something goes wrong with the engine and you have no warranty.
I would stick with the blower over the TT

Regardless of TT or SC, you're gonna want at least bigger brakes, wheels/tires from the stock Mustang GT...

The TT looks like it comes with upgraded half shafts but I'm not sure if the Roush Base GT will come with any upgraded suspension.

I thought they (Lebanon Ford) offered a warranty on these... but I just checked their website

Q: How does The LFP Hellion affect the manufacturer's warranty?

A: The LFP Hellion will not carry any warranty from the manufacturer in the event of failures caused by the installation or use of the Hellion Turbo System. There is no warranty by Lebanon Ford. All stainless parts included in the twin turbo system contain a lifetime warranty. All other warranties will remain intact. (For questions or concerns regarding warranty coverage, please call a Performance Specialist at 513-932-1010 and ask for the Performance Department.)

This is likely a bad idea. IMO you'd be better off buying a GT, driving it for around a year to make sure there are no issues/defects, then going somewhere to install a supercharger, procharger, turbo system or twincharged system.

That's what I am doing with my auto base 18. Already have the suspension, rims, and tires done. Strut tower brace OTW. Brembo brake calipers are on the way. Need to decide on rotors. In a few months I will do a tune. Next year pro charger.

I posted that on page 1 of this thread.
I'm not knocking Lebanon I think its cool that they are doing these cars. I just wouldn't spend that kind of money and have no warranty. I bet that TT setup is fun though.

Yea, I kind of agree, BUT, for me at least, there's an issue with immediately throwing any type of blower on a car with virtually no miles on it. You never know if you're part of the unlucky ~1% that has a defective engine, which will then be blamed on the blower regardless of it it was or wasn't the fault of said blower. At least if you get a Roush Kit, Roush gives you a 3-year warranty... This just seems like a really bad idea to throw a TT on the engine on day one.

On the first page, I mentioned that they did this with the 15-17 as well, but I may be thinking of a PA dealership as I vaguely remember them having a 2-year 24k mile warranty or something like that (and also that if you bought a reinforced chassis/driveline that they'd up it to 1000hp but give you no warranty).
